2025 Oaky North Inrush
Glencore has temporarily closed its Oaky North Coal Mine near Tieri after there was an inflow of water from the surface yesterday.
A Glencore spokesperson says 100 workers at the underground mine were evacuated, though the inflow was into a non-production area of the site.
No-one was injured. Production has been temporarily suspended while the water is removed.
The company says investigations into the incident are continuing and all the relevant authorities have been notified.
