Rescue efforts continue in Pingyi county in East Shandong province where 4 miners remain trapped underground one month after a gypsum mine collapsed.

Four trapped miners are doing well underground with food, clothes, medicines sent to them on a daily basis. No connection has yet been established between the drill hole and the tunnel, as a thick layer of rubble and mud was uncovered.

A life-saving capsule is being tested but no exact date for when the miners will be extracted has been confirmed.
