Loading ...Mandalay Resources’ (TSX:MND) mine in Chile is now completely flooded, including a shelter rescuers were hoping two trapped miners had reached, the officer in charge of the search said.
General Fernando San Cristóbal, head of the rescue team, said the results of a drilling probe conducted to locate the two missing miners found water at level 55, which is where they were supposed to be at the time of the accident and where the emergency shelter is located, EFE news agency reported (in Spanish).
A waterproof camera is expected to reach the area Monday, the officer noted, which will allow searchers to see the actual conditions of the section where the miners are believed to have been working.
