Trevali Mining Corp. (TSX:TV). TSX has suspended trading of the stock. Trevali Mining Corp. has confirmed reports that two executives have been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Burkina Faso in the wake of a flooding disaster at the company’s Perkoa Mine. Perkoa mine manager Hein Frey, who is South African and worked for Trevali, received a 24-month suspended sentence Wednesday while Daryl Christensen, who is South African and a manager with Trevali’s contractor Byrnecut, received a 12-month suspended sentence. The two men were convicted in relation to the deaths of eight workers who died April 16 when Trevali’s Perkoa Mine in the West African nation flooded following heavy rainfall. The bodies of the eight workers were recovered in May and June. Trevali said it has worked closely with local authorities to investigate the causes of the flood. In August, Trevali filed for creditor protection under the CCAA (Companies’ Creditor Protection Act). As a result, the Toronto Stock Exchange has suspended trading of Trevali’s shares. The company’s common shares will be delisted at the close of the market on Oct. 3.
