Geological Problems Reported

The roof material is largely medium gray silty shale to siltstone. In some parts of the mine, NE-trending vertical joints were present. In areas where this jointing was intense, large roof falls and water problems were encountered. Fracture zones were also encountered that produced water which created mud issues for the miners, sometimes requiring cribs to deal with roof falls. Numerous rolls were present throughout the mine, sometimes appearing in swarms.
