Narrative

A shovel operator was working on the 6575 elevation in the main pit. The shovel was loading haul trucks from a shot dig face and cleaning up larger rocky material off to the right. As the operator was cleaning the floor of rocky material the bucket contacted a hidden unfired booster which detonated breaking the tooth adapter and sent small rock into the excavator.
