MINING CONTRACTOR FATALITY AT CAIJIAYING MINE

 

Griffin Mining Limited ("Griffin" or the "Company") is saddened to announce
the death of an employee of the mining contractor at the Caijiaying Mine (the
"Mine") in the evening of Friday 11(th) October 2024. An ore pass full of
excavated paste buried the mining contractor's loader and operator whilst he
was excavating the material. The worker was immediately removed from the Mine
and taken to Zhangbei Hospital but declared dead upon arrival.

 

Whilst Griffin has fully complied with all the prescribed legislative and
regulatory procedures with all the relevant government departments and at all
levels of the Chinese governmental structure, operations have been suspended
at Caijiaying to facilitate a full investigation. All regulatory parties have
expressed a desire to have the Mine re-open as quickly as possible.

 

Chairman's Statement

 

Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented, "A death in any family or organization is
inevitably a tragedy for the family involved and the numerous people,
organizations and entities whose life that person would have interacted with
on a regular basis. In a company such as Griffin, where safety is not only our
overwhelming priority, but also where contractors and their staff become part
of the Griffin "family"  this fatality has severely impacted our staff,
contractors and operations. It strengthens our continuing resolve to redouble
our efforts to ensure safety is our first, second and last priority. It may
sound glib, but our sincerest condolences do truly go out to his family and
friends."
