Mine Collapse Traps 3 Workers in British Columbia
Canadian authorities said on Wednesday that they were working to rescue three miners trapped underground for more than a day at a mine in northwest British Columbia. The ground in the Red Chris mine collapsed on Tuesday morning near an underground area where three miners were working, Newmont Corp., the mine operator, said in a statement on Wednesday. The miners were able to move to a sealed area underground before a second collapse that blocked access to the underground area, according to Newmont. Contact with the miners has been restricted since the second collapse, Newmont said, adding that operations have been suspended at the mine to focus resources on the rescue effort. Premier David Eby of British Columbia said on Wednesday that two of the miners are from his province, and the third is from Ontario. He said that it appears that the workers are uninjured. Newmont and rescue teams were 'working overtime to bring these miners home to their families,' he added. 'All appropriate emergency response protocols were activated immediately. Newmont is actively assessing all methods and technologies available to restore communication and safely bring our team members to surface,' Newmont said in a statement. The Red Chris open-pit mine was constructed in 2014 and was approved to produce gold and copper until 2038, according to British Columbia's mining database. Earlier this year, a Newmont subsidiary applied for a change to its environmental assessment certificate, which would allow it to shift the Red Chris project from open-pit mining to underground mining, using a method called block-caving that collapses large ore deposits to allow them to be mined.
