JOHANNESBURG, March 9 (Reuters) - South African gold miner DRDGOLD (DRDJ.J) was evacuating all 3,200 miners at its North West operations on Wednesday after four earthquakes, injuring 13, the firm said.

"We know of 13 injuries, but the seriousness is not yet known, and we are getting reports of damage underground," spokesman James Duncan told Reuters.

Seismologists at Pretoria's Council for Geoscience said the quake measured around 5.0 on the Richter scale.

JOHANNESBURG, March 9 - An earthquake measuring around 5.0 on the Richter scale hit a gold mining area of South Africa on Wednesday, injuring 13 miners and jolting buildings 160 km (100 miles) away in Johannesburg.

Gold mining company DRDGOLD (DRDJ.J) said it was evacuating all 3,200 miners from its operations in the area.

"We know of 13 injuries, but the seriousness is not yet known, and we are getting reports of damage underground," DRDGOLD spokesman James Duncan told Reuters.

The quake, felt in Johannesburg at 1016 GMT, had its epicentre near the town of Stilfontein, 155 km (97 miles) southwest of Johannesburg, experts at the Council for Geoscience in Pretoria said.

SAFM radio news reported that one person was injured, 15 families were evacuated from a block of flats damaged by the quake, and several cars were also damaged.

"This is most probably a mining-induced event ... it is a gold mining area," said Council for Geoscience seismologist Eldridge Kgaswane, adding that small earthquakes triggered by underground mining operations happen in South Africa on an almost daily basis.

"In normal cases you would have a magnitude of 1, 2 or in exceptional cases 3, so this is very exceptional. Probably this was a big fault that has been activated (by mining operations)," Kgaswane said.

Naturally-occurring earthquakes are rare in South Africa. The last major one, which occurred in 1969 north of Cape Town, measured 6.3 on the Richter scale and caused extensive damage, the Council for Geoscience's website said.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - At least 42 South African miners were trapped in collapsed shafts and hundreds of others awaited evacuation Wednesday after an earthquake hit a gold mining area, company and union officials said.

Officials from gold mining company DRDGOLD told Reuters that the 42 miners were around 1.5 miles underground in a shaft near Silfontein that was cut off by fallen rock, but had life support systems with air and water.

"The guys are digging like mad at the moment trying to get to them," DRDGOLD spokesman Ilja Graulich said.

Union officials said as many as 300 other miners were waiting for safety inspection work to give them the all-clear for evacuation.

SEHR GUTE FRAGE VON MININGMX

"Aber MWW sollte sich einigen Fragen stellen, warum die Flut so plötzlich über DRDGOLD hereinbrach, oder warum die Firma so langsam war in der Bekanntmachung ihrer schlimmen Lage."

But he should face some questions as to why the tide closed in on DRDGOLD so quickly, or why the company was so tardy in disclosing its predicament.

S.African Miners Trapped After 'Exceptional' Quake

Und der alte Kebble steht schon auf der Matte.
Muss aber ein richtiger Bums gewesen sein........auch auf der Erde oben 50 Verletzte.
Aber jetzt gehts um die Wurst..........ich lasse vorerst die Pfoten aus dem Futternapf.

Die meisten Bergleute gerettet, nach einem wird noch gesucht, aber einer ist tot.

In sieben von acht Schächten kann voraussichtlich weitergearbeitet werden, der eine macht einen Ausfall von 15% der Minen aus, die 60% der SA-Produktion fördern.

Es wird vermutet, daß das Erdbeben durch Minenaktivitäten ausgelöst wurde. (etwa durch Droopy; Schadensersatzforderungen?)

"Large earthquakes are not common in South Africa and one seismologist said it could have been triggered by underground mining operations.

"This is most probably a mining-induced event... it is a gold mining area," said Council for Geoscience seismologist Eldridge Kgaswane.

He said that mine work triggered small earthquakes on an almost daily basis."
