JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A mine worker died on Sunday after a fall of ground accident at AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng mine in South Africa, the company said.

AngloGold said in a statement that the 27-year old winch driver was injured in the accident on Saturday and died in hospital a day later.

South Africa, which has the world's deepest mines, has one of the highest rates of work-related mining deaths in the industrialised world. Last year 168 workers died in mines, down 24 percent from the previous year.
