Two workers hospitalized after collapse at Russian bauxite mine: Authorities
Two workers were injured and taken to hospital after a collapse at a bauxite mine belonging to a unit of Russian metals producer Rusal in the Urals, the regional prosecutor's office said on Wednesday. The incident occurred at a depth of 1,172 meters (3,845 feet). Authorities have begun a safety compliance inspection at the facility, prosecutors said. Rusal subsidiary SUBR, which owns the Cheremukhovskaya-Glubokaya mine, said the incident happened when the wall of one of the mine workings collapsed. The miners were quickly brought to the surface, it said. 'The scene of the incident is being examined. Work at other levels of the mine is proceeding as planned,' it said. The mine is the second deepest in Russia and among the deepest in the world.
