Coalmine Information
SE Saskatchewan, Canada
Old Abandoned Underground Coal Mines can be Very Dangerous, Due to Collapse, and Mine Gases (Noxious and Flammable).
Extreme Care should be taken around them, due to Falls, Sudden Ground Collapse, and Bad Air, and in NO Circumstances should People enter into ANY Mine Openings, or Associated Caves.
The Material Contained on my Sites, is NOT to Encourage Personal Investigation of these Mines, But only as a Historical Record of these Long Abandoned Mines. Please View these Mines from a Far, Safe and Legal Distance. Always Observe Private Property Rights, and Obey ALL Warning Signs.
You can dismiss this warning with the x in the top right.
I added the warning above, about entering these old mines, at the top of each old underground mine page, not for the fun of it, but as a serious message.
Nov 11, 1987 a 17 year old, Jeffrey “Jeff” Greg Chipley, entered the old Sunshine Underground Mine near Estevan, to rescue a 16 year old friend, and Jeff died from the bad air in this old mine, before he could be rescued. He received a posthumously awarded Carnegie hero award in 1988 for his actions. The 16 year old lived.
My warning above is no joke. It is a very serious message.
PLEASE STAY AWAY AND OUT OF THESE OLD MINES !
They are extremely dangerous.
