November 16, 2011 NV · Metal/Non-Metal ledgeman/hand, quarry man HANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED)
Gold Canyon Mining & Construction LLC · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Worker was "barring down" feed material in an attempt to clear a "plug" in the cone crusher. During the process, the worker injured his left, "pinky" finger (most likely when the worker's finger was "pinched" between the bar, and another object - cone, rock, etc). The worker was wearing gloves at the time of the incident.
