Updated: 2009-09-09 13:23 ZHENGZHOU: The body of a miner was retrieved by Wednesday noon from a fire that broke out in the morning at a gold mine in Sanmenxia City, central China's Henan Province. A total of 12 mine workers and rescuers are still being trapped and rescue work is continuing, according to the city's work safety administration. The fire at the gold mine affiliated to the Jinyuan Mining Industry Company has not been brought under control, the city's coal mine industry bureau said.
Lei Jianguo, director of the bureau, said a sudden cave-in triggered an electric cable to catch fire at 5:00 a.m. Wednesday, when 12 miners were working under the mine. Only six of them managed to escape. |
