## Narrative

Towards the end of the shift there was a fault in the auxiliary contactor on the north skip. This shut the hoist down creating an evacuation due to not having 2 escape ways to surface. The mine was evacuated with no injuries or other problems. An electrician corrected the issue and the hoist was back in service at 12:35 PM.
