A man was airlifted to Dunedin Hospital with a dislocated
pelvis and ankle after an accident at Oceana Gold's Macraes
gold mine in East Otago, about 12.30pm yesterday.
Chief executive Mark Cadzow said the man, a fitter, had been
working on the boom in the mine's workshop when it rolled on
to his ankle and lower body.
It was quickly lifted off him using a jack.
The company had started an internal investigation into the
incident and notified the Department of Labour.
