Omagh gold mine operators fined after workers escape injury in mine collapse

The operators of a Co Tyrone gold mine have been fined £120,000 after admitting to health and safety failures during a mine collapse in 2018.

Flintridge Resources Limited, which operate the Cavanacaw Mine in Omagh, pleaded guilty to the health and safety failings after workers at the mine narrowly avoided injury during the collapse four years ago.

The Health and Safety Executive led the prosecution against the mine operators, with the company appearing before Dungannon Crown Court to face the charges.
