    N.S. lifts stop-work order of Donkin mine

    sxcoal.com International 2023-12-28 11:48:41

    The Nova Scotia government lifted the work stoppage order of the Donkin coal mine located at Cape Breton of Nova Scotia in southeastern Canada, but when the coal mine will restart mining is still unclear, the government said on December 27.

     

    The underground operation at the Donkin mine had been halted since two roof falls on the ninth and fifth day of July this year. Its owner Kameron Coal Management Ltd. had lain off 130 employees after the stoppage order.

     

    The province said the coal mine had met the first phase of safety requirements outlined in the stoppage order so that it could resume mining but only during the winter period with low humidity levels.

     

    Kameron Coal must meet the second phase requirements before February 29, 2024 for its reopening by hiring a third-party engineer equipped with professional mining experience to examine the company's ground control plan.

     

    There were 32 roof falls at the Donkin mine since February 2017 with no reported injuries, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Labor on December 27.

     

    The Donkin coal mine first opened in 2017, which is described by the province as the only operating seabed coal mine in the world. It closed in March 2020 and resumed operations in September 2022 due to multiple shutdowns caused by plummeting coal prices and roof collapses.
