Another milestone for Pike River today
17 December 2019
The Pike River Recovery Agency is set to go past the 170 metre barrier and further down the drift.
The agency had to seek an exemption from WorkSafe to allow the recovery effort to continue.
Chief Operating Officer of the Agency Dinghy Pattinson, says it's a significant event.
He says no one's been beyond this point for nine years, and it's actually the start of what they've worked towards for 20 months.
