The Ministry of Mines and Energy says it will call an urgent meeting with a Chinese gold mining company, after a mine flood killed eight Cambodian workers last week.
The eight men died on Friday, when a controlled explosion underground ruptured a water source, flooding the mine in Kratie province’s Sambor district.
Cambodia has opened an increasing number of mines in recent years, seeking to tap its mineral wealth as a potential source of national revenue.
