From Radio 6PR this morning ...... and also put in another thread.....

Ravensthorpe Mine to close WEF this morning.

Workers / contractors told terms like 'suspended ops' and 'rampdowns' at a work (Stopwork) meeting this morning.
Numerous flights to operate during today to uplift staff / contractors.

Staff / contractors told to vacate and tidy their rooms - allegedly - pack their gear, and gear and 'excess' staff will follow on trucks later.

Contractor on radio giving his version of events.

From CH7...some 2,000 workers affected apparently!
