That is an amazing outcome... Earlier today they pretty much said that there was no hope....

 

[cvm4]

Nice to hear that!!!

 

[caudio51]

I was bummed today. Thought all were lost. Hopefully that one guy is looking out for all miners in the future.

 

[cvm4]

Hopefully they get some of those faults fixed in the mine. I read/heard they got some bad reports about it.

 

[tobby4]

bad reports.... 208 violations last year...

bad reports.... 208 violations last year...

I know nothing about mining but that seems like waaaay too many!

 

[tobby4]

Oh well, i know NOTHING either, i just know what CNN and Fox News has said today.... but the company that runs the mine is one that takes over failing mines, and tries to turn them into profitable ones again

 

[Greg]

The Miners Are Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Greg]

[tobby4]
