The fire occurred during an equipment maintenance at the Caojiawa gold mine in the city of Zhaoyuan, the Xinhua news agency reported.


An explosion in January at a separate gold mine in the same province killed at least 10 miners and the provincial government later followed up by launching safety inspections focusing on the non-coal mining and metal processing sectors.
