Geological Problems Reported
The roof was a massive black shale, with sandstone above. Rolls were present in the mine. The source map shows many unmined areas within the mine outline. The reason these areas were not mined is not specified in the mine notes or on the source map, but water-bearing sands above the roof shale could contribute to roof problems.
