"SSR Mining Suspends Operations as Landslide Traps Nine Gold Miners in Turkish Mine"

Nine workers are missing after a landslide struck a gold mine in eastern Turkey, with video footage showing a torrent of mud engulfing the area. The Anagold Mining company, which operates the Copler mine, has activated its emergency plan and informed relevant authorities. Concerns have been raised about potential cyanide contamination in the surrounding area, as the mine reportedly stores cyanide. This incident adds to a series of mining accidents in Turkey, including an explosion in a coal mine that claimed 42 lives in 2022.
