Labor unions have complained about mining companies forcing miners to work in unsafe areas, thus pushing fatalities to "crisis levels." South Africa recorded 88 deaths in the mining sector in 2017 and 81 deaths last year.
The tailings dumps originating from gold mining in South Africa’s Witwatersrand still contain notable gold endowments. Most tailings reprocessing operations target a native gold fraction using re-milling and carbon-in-leach extraction; however, up to 50–70% of the remaining gold is still not reco...
