Eight miners who have been buried underground for more than two weeks are being rescued in Burkina Faso.
Following heavy rains last month, the zinc mine at Perkoa flooded.
Six of the miners are from Burkina Faso, with the remaining two coming from Zambia and Tanzania.
Burkina Faso's government has begun a legal investigation, and the mine managers are currently barred from leaving the country.
Trevali, a Canadian mining corporation, claims it is searching for the missing men 24 hours a day.
According to the report, when the mine flooded, the eight miners were more than 500 meters underground from the surface.
According to reports, electricity and communication services have been disrupted.
Prime Minister Albert Ouedraogo paid a visit to the mine over the weekend and chastised those in charge, alleging that dynamite was used, allowing floodwater to enter more easily.
According to the Reuters news agency, Trevali said it was aware of the prime minister's remarks and was also investigating the cause of the tragedy.
