An investigation into last year’s accident that left 12 people trapped, 4 injured and 1 dead in the Mollie Kathleen Mine in Teller County ruled it was due to “operator error.”
The tourist mine has been closed since October after a cease and desist order by the state. It will be allowed to reopen later this year.
