Rock-shifting technology brings new hope to Lily Mine rescue efforts

Baberton – New rock-shifting technology is being used to loosen a huge rock weighing between 20 t and 30 t that is hampering the rescue operation of three miners in Mpumalanga.

Today marks a week since the three – Pretty Nkambule, Solomon Nyarende and Yvonne Mnisi – got trapped during a collapse at the Lily Mine in Louisville, outside Barberton.
