Impala Platinum Holdings said 11 employees died in a shaft incident at its Rustenburg operations in South Africa, with 75 hospitalized, in the worst mining accident for a South African company in 14 years.
The precious-metals mining company said Tuesday that the rescue operation is complete and all 86 employees are accounted for.
The incident is one of the most significant losses of life for a South African company since the 2009 Harmony Gold mining disaster.
Operations at Rustenburg have been halted as a result.
Shares are down 6.4% at ZAR78.50.
