A Falcon Airlines Queen Air on a charter for a mine site was climbing after takeoff from Cannington when the left engine lost power. The pilot could not keep directional control, and the aircraft was landed with the gear retracted after the left wingtip struck a fence post and it spun. Passengers left through the emergency exit after the aircraft came to rest.
