Mining Accidents - It is no secret that gold mining can be extremely dangerous due to various factors such as underground flooding, earth quakes, etc. It is therefore no wonder that each gold mine has its fair share of mining accidents every year, and that many of these accidents can be highly disruptive, especially when mining operations need to be halted for extended periods of time.

In fact, many gold mines have to close down permanently due to the damage caused by some mining accidents. For example, the cave-in of a mining shaft can close down a gold mine permanently, simply because it's financially not viable to clear the shaft in order to commence mining operations.

Another very ugly side of mining accidents is the side were mining workers lose their lives. This normally has a huge impact on the families involved and on the remaining mine workers' morale, which can impact very negatively on productivity and thus on the overall profitability of a given gold mine. This is without even considering the cost of compensation to the mine, when a bread winner dies or are serious injured in such an accident, and his/her family needs to be compensated.
