Narrative

Towards the end of the shift the Hoist (Koepe) kicked out on high amps. This shut the hoist down creating an evacuation due to not having two escapeways to surface. The mine was evacuated with no injuries or other problems. The issue was corrected and the hoist was put back in service at 8:40 a.m. on 4/11/2012.
