First Quantum said it has launched an internal investigation into the accident on Sunday involving a tracked dozer and a light vehicle that killed one employee. “The site of the accident was immediately secured and operations in the area …will resume once it is determined that it can be done so in a safe manner,” the Toronto-based miner said in a statement.
