A spokesman for Curragh mine owner, Coronado Global Resources, said it was not appropriate to comment on the matter while the Mines Inspectorate’s investigation was ongoing.
“The anniversary of Donald’s death was marked at all Coronado facilities in Australia and in the US with production ceasing for a period at Curragh to allow for reflection and safety discussions with our teams,” he said.
“We acknowledge the significant impact this incident has had on Donald’s family, loved ones and colleagues and we again express our deepest sympathies to Donald’s family and co-workers at this time.”
Donald Rabbitt, 33.
