Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, there was an incident at approximately 8:00 pm on October 27th; that was last night. Three workers were apparently assigned to work and when they arrived at the workplace, they apparently encountered smoke. They returned to the surface and informed their shift boss that they did not feel very well and, in fact, thought they had been exposed to noxious fumes.

All three were administered oxygen by the first aid attendant. An ambulance was called and the three workers were taken to Stanton Territorial Hospital. Gas tests were taken at the 11-19 C Stope at approximately 9:00 pm last night and all gas levels were below the threshold limit for a normal eight-hour exposure.

Apparently, all three workers were released from the hospital at 10:45 pm and all three returned to work after being released.
