At least 10 people were killed and others were missing after an illegal gold mine collapsed in northeastern Guinea, local officials and the Red Cross said yesterday.

Accidents in clandestine mines are common in Guinea, which has reserves of gold, diamonds, bauxite, and iron ore, though most of the population of the West African country lives



in poverty.

The death toll was confirmed by the local Red Cross and a security official, who also said three children were among the victims.

At least 17 people were killed in February when another clandestine gold mine collapsed in Norassoba, 35 kilometres from Siguiri town.
