CARLIN, Nev. (AP) - An accident at a Newmont Mining Corp. truck
maintenance shop near Carlin killed one employee and injured another.

Newmont officials say 56-year-old Ronald Keen of Spring Creek
died after the accident Thursday afternoon at the company's Gold
Quarry truck shop.

The other employee was released after treatment for unspecified
injuries at an Elko hospital. His name was not released.

Newmont officials say the two workers were dismantling a tool rack when it fell.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by the Mine Safety Health Administration and Nevada State Mining Inspector's Office.

Keen, a Newmont employee since 1987, is survived by his wife,
Valencia, and two adult children.
