We are currently in clsd status. We are not pumping or selling anything. EE came to work and said he was real tired. At the mine site he was holding shovel when he got dizzy. Said it felt like an anvil on his chest, and then went to his knees. EE took him to hospital; he was treated with medicine for high blood pressure.
