Canada’s Sherritt International Corp on Monday reported the death of an employee at the Moa Joint Venture (JV) mine in Cuba due to a vehicle-related accident.
Moa JV is a 50/50 partnership between Sherritt and General Nickel Company SA which mines and processes nickel laterite deposits in Cuba for refining into finished nickel and cobalt from its refinery in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
Sherritt has began its investigation and is working with local authorities to find the cause of the incident, the company said in a statement.
