Ground conditions

The ground conditions at Garson Mine are notorious for being dangerous and unstable; many workers have lost their lives due to unstable ground conditions at Garson Mine and these conditions continue to be a problem for current operations. A rock burst at the mine left nine workers trapped underground for several hours on January 23, 2007, although they were eventually rescued with no injuries or fatalities.

Safety

In 2005 Garson Mine won the CIM's National John T. Ryan Trophy for Metal Mines. This award is given to the metal mine which has the lowest accident frequency in the country. [cite web
