Revett Minerals provides an update on monitoring activities at its Troy Mine in northwest Montana. All underground activities were suspended by the company in mid December following the assessment of unstable ground conditions in non active mining areas that the company deemed unsafe for the continuance of day to day underground operations. In the past two weeks, the company has worked with The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH, to install seismic monitoring devices. Data collected over the past two weeks suggests that ground conditions have stabilized. Based on this information, the company will seek to re-enter underground workings in order to complete inspections of underground infrastructure and equipment and to install further geophone monitoring devices. The company will present an inspection and monitoring plan to MSHA this week for authorization. Company personnel will not be able to re-enter underground workings until MSHA has authorized the inspection and monitoring plan. At this stage, the company cannot give a firm date when operations will resume. While the company has no reason to believe that main infrastructure or equipment has been damaged, the company cannot be sure until an underground inspection has been made. | |
