16 Février 2024 - 6:36AM
B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO, NYSE AMERICAN: BTG, NSX: B2G) (“B2Gold” or
the “Company”) deeply regrets to report that three B2Gold employees
have passed away as a result of injuries sustained in an off-site
incident in Mali earlier today. B2Gold wishes to express its
deepest condolences to the families of the deceased employees.
Traveling under Malian gendarme escort, a bus
transporting B2Gold employees from the Fekola Mine to Bamako was
involved in an incident when it was attacked approximately 75
kilometers west of Bamako. Initial reports have identified this
tragic event as the result of an attack on the employee transport
convoy, which included Malian gendarmerie vehicles in front and in
the rear of the transport convoy. Unfortunately, the incident
resulted in the death of three employees. Initial reports indicate
several other employees travelling on the bus were wounded, all
whom have been transported to a local hospital. Other personnel
involved in the incident were transported to Bamako for assistance
and counselling.
The attack occurred over 300 kilometers
northeast of the Fekola Mine site, along a transport route that has
been the focus of an increased security presence by the Malian
armed forces. Mining and processing activities at the Fekola Mine
have not been impacted by this incident. The Company has been
actively engaged with the Malian government on further improvement
to security along the transport route. The Company is working with
the Malian government to understand further details of the
attack.
