SYDNEY--Glencore Xstrata PLC (GLEN.LN) has suspended operations at one of its coal mines in Australia's New South Wales state after a fatal accident late Saturday.

The company said a female worker at its Ravensworth open-cut mine died when the light vehicle she was driving collided with a dump truck. The woman, a contractor at the site, died at the scene, Glencore said in an emailed statement.

An investigation is being conducted by police and government mines inspectors, it said.
