Nairobi / Accra – At least 70 miners were confirmed dead after a trench collapsed gold mine in central Ghana, local media reported Tuesday. The victims belonged to a group of small-scale miners who were trapped in the pit in the city of rain caused Dunkwa-on-Offin to the cave on Sunday. The rescue operation was hampered by a lack of earthmoving equipment, said the reports.
Joy FM Radio Broadcasting said about 140 people, including women and children were working in the mine at the time of the accident.
“At this moment I do not think that we still have survivors, those who have been caught, I believe they now be dead ‘, police chief for the area, told Joy FM.
The mine, abandoned by a mining company years ago, is popular with amateurs who use their hands to dig for gold.
