所罗门群岛瓜达尔卡纳尔岛上的一处金矿周一发生滑坡事故，遇难者遗体于周二被发现[1]。遇难者名为Ashley Olo[1]。滑坡跨越约100米，发生在通往露天矿坑的通道上[1]。
矿山运营方万国黄金集团表示无员工伤亡或失踪报告[1]。该集团自2019年起多数控股这家矿山，为香港上市的中资企业[1]。搜救行动仍在继续，当地政府尚未确认是否有其他人员被埋[1]。
所罗门群岛总理Matthew Wale表示，政府正在调查滑坡是否由不当采矿行为导致，并称可能需要加强对该行业的监管[1]。该矿是所罗门群岛唯一的大型金矿，位于首都荷尼亚拉附近[1]。
A fatal landslide struck a major gold mining operation on Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Islands, with the body of Ashley Olo discovered on Tuesday, a day after the disaster occurred [1]. The landslide, which swept across an area spanning 100 meters along a passage leading to the open pit, has prompted authorities to investigate whether improper mining practices contributed to the incident [1].
The mine is controlled by Hong Kong-listed Chinese company Wanguo Gold Group, which has held a majority stake since 2019 [1]. Despite the death, the company stated there were no employees reported as injured or missing [1]. The operation represents the Solomon Islands' only large-scale gold mine and is located near the capital, Honiara [1].
Prime Minister Matthew Wale indicated that the government's focus extends beyond the immediate tragedy, stating: "the Government is concerned whether this is as a result of improper mining practice and whether there is a need to strengthen the regulatory framework" [1]. Rescue operations remained ongoing at the time of reporting, with authorities yet to confirm whether additional persons may be trapped beneath the debris [1].
