For Immediate Release
SUDBURY, September 28, 2021 – Vale informs that the
return of employees to surface at the Company’s Totten Mine in
Sudbury, Ontario continues this morning following the successful
ascent of several individuals overnight.
On Sunday, 39 employees were unable to exit the mine due to
damage in the shaft that houses the conveyance used to transport
employees between surface and underground. While conditions in the
shaft were evaluated, employees reported to underground refuge
stations as part of the company’s standard procedures.
Sunday evening, employees started making their way to surface
via a secondary egress ladderway system. Nineteen employees
returned to surface early this morning and the remainder are on
their way.
“We thank the impacted employees for their patience and
perseverance and the mine rescue teams for their tireless
dedication and support,” said Gord Gilpin, Head of Mining
Operations for Vale’s Ontario Operations. “This has been an
incredible team effort.”
The remaining employees are expected to be on surface later this
morning. The employees that have returned to surface are in good
health and eager to return home.
The employees’ exit is being supported by Vale’s mine rescue
team and Ontario Mine Rescue.
