Dix & Eaton is serving as "media coordinator"
for International Coal Group, the owner of the Sago Mine in
West Virginia in which a dozen miners lost their lives.
ICG, which is controlled by New York billionaire Wilbur Ross,
is launching an investigation of the tragedy along with state
and federal officials.
The company says it will no longer provide "regularly
scheduled media briefings," but will announce findings
of the probe when appropriate.
ICG has established a $2M fund for the families of the lost
miners, and is accepting donations from others.
Ross issued a statement in which he says he personally understands
the trauma of the families since "I lost my own father
when I was a teen-ager and my widowed mother was left with
three children, the youngest of whom was eight years old."
ICG sold 21M shares of stock to the public last month at
$11 each. The shares peaked at $13.10 and now trade for $9.08.
D&E has represented International Steel Group, which
was another Ross roll-up. CEO Scott Chaikin has not yet been
reached.
