April 21 (Reuters) - Canadian gold miner Detour Gold Corp
DGC.TO said it was charged with criminal negligence on
Thursday over the death of an employee at its Detour Lake mine
in Ontario on June 3.
Investigations conducted by the Ontario Provincial Police
and the Ministry of Labour have been ongoing since Sept. 2.
The employee, identified by local media as Denis Millette,
was repairing equipment in the mine, northeast of Cochrane, when
it was noticed that he was in "medical distress," media reports
said in September.
The company said it may face additional charges as the
investigation is expected to conclude in June.
