RE: RE: Cigar Lake Hoist Accident WRONG!!!!!!!!!! . A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. There are indeed escape raises in every mine THAT IS IN PRODUCTION. Cigar Lake however is still in the development stage , and there is only the one shaft connected to the workings. The second escape shaft is currently being excavated but they are having to freeze the ground,,,, thats how bad ground conditions are there.
And do yourself a favour , dont get into an argument with me on this , I've climbed more escape raises than youve likely walked miles of pavement.
