A mining safety watchdog has urged mine operators to reconsider use of a common explosive device used underground. The recommendation follows a blast at the Endeavor underground metals mine near Cobar in western New South Wales eight days ago that killed two mine workers. One of the deceased was Ambrose 'Ambie' McMullen, 59, a former Cavan footballer. The incident has prompted renewed scrutiny of explosive selection, handling procedures, and regulatory oversight in underground mining operations across the region.
