CHINA'S top mining company is responsible for the dam overflow that left 28 people dead or missing early last week when a typhoon hit southern China's Guangdong Province, provincial authorities said.
Xinyi Zijin Mining, a branch of China's largest gold miner, Zijin Mining, is responsible for the accident, but details of liability will be decided after further investigation, a provincial government statement said.
The dam in Guangdong's Xinyi City held the tailings of a tin mine. Its contents overflowed last Tuesday as typhoon Fanapi hit the area. Mud and rocks flattened part of a village.
The dam was approved by Guangdong's work safety authorities in March and received an operations license in August, said Wang Hui, general manager of Xinyi Zijin Mining.
This is the second time in recent months that Zijin Mining has come under fire. On July 3, water containing heavy metals leaked from a Zijin Mining copper mine and polluted Tingjiang River in east China's Fujian Province.
