Rescue Mission Underway at Red Chris Mine: Three Workers Trapped

Three workers remain trapped after two rockfalls at the Red Chris mine in Northern British Columbia. The rescue efforts include removing debris with a remote-controlled scoop and sending specialized drones underground. The workers are reported to be safe with ample supplies in a refuge chamber.

In a developing crisis, three workers are currently trapped at the Red Chris mine in Western Canada following two substantial rockfalls.

Authorities report that the workers have been unreachable since Tuesday, but they are believed to be safely sheltering in a refuge chamber designed to support such situations. Communication efforts continue as drones assess the underground conditions.

Operations at the mine have been suspended as remote-controlled equipment works to clear debris, and teams endeavor to reestablish contact with the trapped individuals who are equipped with sufficient provisions.
