Coronado suspends Logan mine after fatal incident
Coal producer Coronado Global Resources has temporarily suspended operations at its Lower War Eagle mine, part of the Logan mining complex in West Virginia, following a fatal incident involving an employee.
The company said the fatality occurred on the morning of December 18. Coronado confirmed it is working with the relevant authorities to investigate the cause of the incident.
Operations at the Lower War Eagle mine have been halted to allow for the necessary investigations to be conducted. Coronado said it does not expect the temporary cessation of mining activities to materially affect its overall operations.
The company expressed its condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the employee and said its immediate focus is on supporting those affected by the incident. Counselling services have been made available to employees at the Logan complex.
Coronado operates metallurgical and thermal coal assets in the US and Australia and said further updates would be provided as appropriate once investigations progress.
