September 7, 2011 AK · Metal/Non-Metal ledgeman/hand, quarry man Fatality · EXPLOSIVES AND BREAKING AGENTS
Coeur Alaska Inc · Struck by flying object

The investigation is not complete, but as of now it appears a miner was fatally injured when material that traveled through a borehole struck him after a blast was initiated. The victim was on the 1290 level ramp waiting for a blast to be initiated. The concussion from the explosion traveled through a 3-inch borehole, blowing small rock and debris onto the victim.
