Narrative

Damage to the topside ore bin vibratory feeder prevented the mine from emptying the ore bin (which was full) and the #1 hoist south skip could not be unloaded. This prevented the mine from raising and lowering personnel with the #1 hoist. The mine still maintained two means of egress with the #2 and #3 hoists.
