Philippine gold mine struggles to plug waste spill


The Philippines’ largest gold mine said Tuesday it was struggling to contain a waste spillage from its tailings dam which has forced it to suspend operations for the past month.

The last of a series of leaks at the Padcal mine occurred on August 30 and  lasted nearly four hours, Philex Mining said in a disclosure statement to the  Philippine Stock Exchange.
“We confirm that this discharge has been the fourth reported since the  first incident that occurred on August 1,” it added.
