Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Gold miners trapped 500 meters. Underground in British Columbia, three miners have been trapped 500 meters underground at Newmont Corporation's Red Chris Mine in northwest British Columbia since Tuesday after part of a non-producing area of the mine collapsed. At the time of the initial incident, three business partner employees were working more than 500 meters beyond the affected zone and were asked to relocate to a designated refuge station before a subsequent fall of ground blocked the accessway, Newmont wrote in a statement published on its website. Newmont stated that the refuge station is equipped with adequate food, water and ventilation to support the three miners during an extended stay. The second collapse blocked access and restricted communications, Newmont said, adding that operations at the Golden Copper Mine have been suspended to focus resources on the rescue efforts. This is a map to give you a good idea of where the Red Chris mine is located in British Columbia. According to British Columbia's mining database, Red Chris received Mines Act and Environmental Management approvals in May 2012 and began regular production in mid-2015. The mine's current projected operational timeline is expected to continue through 2043. Specialist teams from nearby mines are being assembled. Newmont has not provided a rescue timeline or indicated how long the refuge station can sustain the three miners. This is a developing situation and I will keep you updated as more information becomes available. God bless. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World.
