* Bodies of all three missing miners found
* Metanor suspends operations at Bachelor Lake mine
TORONTO, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The bodies of all three missing miners have been found at the site of a mine accident in the Canadian province of Quebec, according to a report in the Canadian Press on Tuesday.
The accident at Metanor Resources' Bachelor Lake gold mine occurred late on Friday, when a section of the mine about 500 meters below the surface flooded. The Canadian gold miner has suspended operations at the site.
Rescue workers at the mine had worked frantically for three days to pump the water out of the mine, in the hopes of rescuing the trapped miners.
Metanor Resources Inc has yet to confirm the cause of the flooding.
A spokeswoman for the Quebec Provincial Police told Reuters that they have begun an investigation into whether criminal negligence had led to the accident at the mine.
My opinion: Results of that investigation will have a great impact on stock price one way or another.
Just when I thought I'd seen it all:
