More than 40 artisanal gold miners were killed in southwest Mali last week after the shaft they were working in collapsed, Mali’s mines ministry said.
Artisanal mining is a common activity across much of West Africa and has risen in recent years due to growing demand for metals and rising prices.
Deadly accidents are frequent as artisanal miners often use old-fashioned and unregulated methods of digging.
The incident in Mali occurred on Friday on a site in the Kangaba Cercle in the south-western Koulikoro Region, the mines ministry said.
A spokesperson for the ministry said via telephone on Wednesday that the death toll was still provisional.
The ministry would be a sending a mission to the Kangaba area on Thursday to get more details on the accident, he added.
