Three miners remain trapped underground following an incident at a mine in northern B.C.

Newmont Corp., majority owner of the Red Chris copper and gold mine in Dease Lake, B.C., said two “fall of ground incidents” occurred at the mine on the morning of July 22, which led to the miners becoming trapped.
