Fish Die in River After Zijin Tin Mine Dam Collapses, China Daily Reports

Yunnan Chengfeng Company to Suspend Production for Maintenance in Late Sep

SHANGHAI, Sep. 27 -- More than 100 metric tons of fish were found dead at fish farms in China&rsquo;s Huanghua river basin downstream from a collapsed tailings dam at a tin mine owned by Zijin Mining Group Co., the China Daily said.
The tailings dam at Zijin&rsquo;s Xinyi Yinyan tin mine collapsed on Sept. 21 after a landslide triggered by heavy rains caised by Typhoon Fanapi, the newspaper said on its website.
The incident comes less than three months after one of Zijin&rsquo;s copper mines leaked toxic waste into a river, poisoning almost 2,000 metric tons of fish in the Ting River. Zijin was forced to shut its copper plant at the Zijinshan mine in Fujian after the spill.&nbsp;
