Narrative

On April 24 a back shot was taken on 112 stope. Upon inspection it was noticed that the back had broken past the designed stope towards the access. SMD notified the Vista Underground engineering team. Chief Engineer Ben Gunn inspected the site and determined the rock had broken beyond primary ground support and MSHA was notified.
