A miner was bolting the back of the 833 N stope. A fall of ground in the hanging wall fault zone buried the miner until the miner could be rescued by other miners on the crew. The miner received a broken jaw, broken femur, broken rib, fractured hip, several face abrasions, as well as missing teeth.
