"Seismicity is a feature of mining in the region and deep-level mining layouts and support systems have been designed specifically to cope withy seismicity,” said Froneman. “You cannot predict seismic events … That kind of technology does not exist,” he said.
At the end of the day, I believe that worker safety is paramount. In underground mining, it's a case of providing the plan & infrastructure required to ensure that a bad incident does not happen (there is always some form of risk). In the event that this happens, we do not want to encounter another Beaconsfield, Newcastle or even a Gwalia (where luckily no one was hurt). The good thing is that management "appear" to have a very good safety focus. Also of note is that they start the quarterly with "Environmental, Social & Governance".
