## Narrative

A failure occurred in the tail rope system for the ore skips on the #2 friction hoist. It's suspected that a swivel bound, allowing the tail rope to unwind/part, creating a failure point on the rope about 150-175' below the north skip. No hoist damage occurred, this is a production hoist, not a personnel hoist. Investigation is ongoing.
