With the recovery operation completed in the early hours of this morning, our focus is now on supporting the workforce and investigating exactly what has occurred.
We acknowledge and thank all involved in this emergency and recovery for their incredible dedication and effort in extremely tough circumstances, including Mammoth crews and the Queensland Mines Rescue Service.
It has been a long and difficult couple of days as this emergency has unfolded; and there is a long road ahead to ensure every lesson from this disaster is learnt and addressed.
