A death at Glencore’s Nickel Rim Mine is being investigated by the Ontario Ministry of Labour.

The mishap happened late this morning, after a worker was struck by a piece of equipment.

No names have been released.

Ministry spokesperson Janet Deline says an investigator has been sent to the scene, but it’s not known how long the investigation will take.

The company says all shifts at Nickel Rim South are cancelled until further notice.
