The miners reappeared at the entrance of the mine’s tunnel yesterday leaving one miner unaccounted for, China Daily reported.

The miners were hospitalised and reported to be in a stable condition.

The location of the last miner has been established and rescuers were trying to reach him, a Communist Party official said.

The cave-in took place last Thursday in the Zhaojiliang Coal Mine, when 38 workers were underground.

Twenty-nine miners initially escaped and a rescue effort followed for the missing nine workers.
