"We are working closely with Newmont and emergency response partners to support every aspect of the ongoing efforts," Hy-Tech said in the release. "Our Critical Incident Response (CIR) Team is fully activated. Hy-Tech leadership is on site, and we remain in direct contact with the families of those involved." The company said it would share verified updates as they become available. Hy-Tech signed on with Newmont in January of this year, in what they touted as the company's largest contract to date. It is a five-year agreement to provide underground and surface core drilling for both the Red Chris and nearby Brucejack mines.
