I’m still confused over the cause of these seismic events. The owner keeps saying the quakes caused the wall collapses and the seismologists keep calling them mining-induced quakes.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg, the mine or the quake?

Good question. The history of quake activity in Utah might answer that question. Now if the mine was out here in CA, saying the quake caused the collapse would sound reasonable.
