Underground nickel mine, closed in July 1974 due to a crown pillar failure which developed from a hanging wall collapse in an open stope. This caused a large sinkhole to develop on surface. A mine employee that witnessed the event tried unsuccessfully to contact company officials and set off to drive to a nearby camp to use the telephone. Tragically, the employee inadvertently drove his utility into the sinkhole. The body of the deceased and the vehicle could not be recovered.
