## Narrative

On 2/12/2008, the entire plant and mine lost electrical power from the supplier. The power outage caused loss of power to the vertical hoist at the mine, however the back diesel power kicked on immediately, and the hoist was operable again.  The mine was evacuated at that time. Full power has been restored.
