Rescue workers search for missing gold miners after Turkey landslide

Rescue workers battled to find nine workers trapped under earth after a landslide at a gold mine in eastern Turkey on Wednesday, the interior minister said, while state media said four people were detained as an investigation got underway.
The landslide occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the Ilic district of Erzincan province. State broadcaster TRT Haber said the mine’s field manager was among the four people detained.
Gold miner SSR Mining on Tuesday suspended production at the mine after what it described as a “large slip on the heap leach pad”. The incident sparked a plunge of more than 50% in its Toronto-listed shares.
