Narrative

North loading gate was stuck open. It was found to have a piece of foreign material in it that blocked the gate from closing. The entire mine was Non-Emergency evacuated before the problem was found and corrected. All chutes, pockets, and screens, etc. were checked to be sure no additional material was loose.
