China’s Zijin ‘ignored warnings’ over mine waste water
Shares in China’s top gold producer Zijin Mining Group fell Monday after a probe found it ignored warnings over excessive waste water discharge at a mine where a toxic spill occurred early this month.
Zijin published the results of the government investigation on Friday as a sludge pond at the company’s copper mine in Fujian province sprang another leak and more officials were punished over the original mishap on July 3. Source
