AngloGold Ashanti is busy with the second phase of a study into whether there is any scientific link between operations at its Sadiola mine in Mali and reports that four out of five pregnant women in two villages near the mine are miscarrying. AngloGold executive officer of corporate affairs Steve Lenahan said..."Allegations of environmental pollution around Sadiola and its effect on community health have been the subject of discussions with advocacy institutions, community organisations, the government and our partners for several years and a number of internal and independent investigations have been undertaken."
