New business rescue plan proposed as Lily, Barbrook mines dispute continues

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Vantage Goldfields Limited (VGL) and Siyakhula Sonke Empowerment Corporation (SSC) representative Fred Arendse on June 23 proposed amended business rescue plans for the Lily gold mine, in Mpumalanga.

The Lily and Barbrook mines have been the subject of a dispute after the operations were placed under business rescue after the Lily mine collapsed in February 2016, killing three mineworkers who were trapped in a container underground.
