Atna Resources, Inc. · Struck by rolling or sliding object
While spraying shotcrete the dry pot stopped. The miner stepped away from the face as the dry pot was being worked on. The miner briefly pulled his attention away to check the progress of the dry pot when a rock rolled off the sloped face on to the muck pile and down to the flat. The rock continued rolling in to the miner's right leg resulting in a contusion.
