Norseman Gold still investigating death

Operations at Norseman Gold's OK Decline mine remain suspended two weeks after a fatality at the site.

A man was killed on August 5 when he fell more than 15 metres down a shaft at the mine south of Kalgoorlie.

Norseman has released a statement today saying that it has been working with the relevant authorities investigating the death.

The gold miner is also carrying out its own investigation into how the fatality occurred.

"The Company is currently working to recommence operations in a timely and prudent manner subject to approval from the relevant authorities," the statement said.

Norseman Gold says its Bullen and Harlequin Declines have not been unduly affected by the incident and have continued to operate as normal.
