NO survivors have been found in rescue chambers of a zinc mine in Burkina Faso, after eight miners, one of them a Zambian, got trapped hundreds of metres underground by flood waters last month.
The chambers are a place of safety and contain essential supplies like water and food, Reuters says.
“The rescue teams have opened the refuge chamber, unfortunately it is empty,” Reuters quotes the government’s information service as saying.
A search is ongoing, according to the same information service, and will continue until any person is found alive or dead.
