Ministry investigators want more info from Vale
The Ministry of Labour is asking for information from Vale as it continues its investigation at Coleman mine in Sudbury.
Ministry officials are investigating the death of miner Stephen Perry, who died in an accident at the Levack mine on Sunday.
The ministry wants reports on previous accidents involving a piece of equipment that Perry was using.
Officials have also asked for information about the recent mining history of the area in which Perry was working, which includes records related to any recent blasting, rock bursts and seismic data.
The Ministry of Labour is just one of the agencies investigating. Vale said it will conduct a joint investigation with the United Steelworkers union.
Production at all five Vale mines in Sudbury was suspended following Perry's death.
The company has still not said when it plans to restart the mines again.
