The Pike River Mine disaster was a coal mining accident that began on 19 November 2010 in the Pike River Mine, 46 kilometres (29 mi) northeast of Greymouth, in the West Coast Region of New Zealand 's South Island.A methane explosion occurred in the mine at approximately 3:44 pm (NZDT, UTC+13).ccording to the new mine owner, Solid Energy, the bodies of the 29 miners who died there may never be recovered. The Pike River Mine incident ranks as New Zealand's worst mining disaster since 43 men died at Ralph's Mine in Huntly in 1914.
Ward was eventually forced to resign his Director and Chief Executive roles at Pike River (December 2006). By then though, it was too late, the Pike River mine was a done deal, at least until the first, thunderous, methane explosion of November 2010.As MacFie recounts this should never have happened, early warnings from experts were marginalised or ridiculed.Pike represented about one-third of NZOG`s market capitalisation in early 2010; it was simply too big to let fail`.
