On August 21st, works related to the controlled discharge of water by focused explosions were to continue. The calculations made will ensure the safety of blasting operations to the lives of miners working underground. While works on the surface of Mir open pit mine are underway, all the staff involved in the search and rescue operation left the underground mine.
This decision was made a day earlier following the emergency meeting held by the Representatives of the Emergencies Ministry, Rostechnadzor, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Federal Security Service, NTC-Novotek, and Yakutniproalmaz Institute to adjust the search and rescue operation plan. Rostechnadzor issued a relevant permit for the operation.
