Six university students drowned in an industrial tank during a while on a study trip to a mining operation connected to China’s most prestigious gold producing company, according to state news agency Xinhua.

One teacher was also injured in the incident, which occurred on Wednesday morning at China National Gold Group’s Wunugetushan copper-molybdenum mine in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, it said.

The students, from Northeastern University in Liaoning province, drowned after a grating panel gave way. They were pulled from the tank in the mine’s beneficiation plant, but could not be revived, according to Xinhua.

The report did not give further details about the victims, nor any indication of where responsibility might lie for the accident.
