Jayapura (Antara Bali) - Twenty-three mining workers of PT Freeport in Papua are still trapped in the company's underground training facility that collapsed on May 15.
The company's mining technique chief, Nurhadi Sabirin, said in a press statement to ANTARA here on Saturday that efforts had been slow because rocks continued to fall from the tunnel roof hindering the rescue team's move to reach the location of the workers.
Nurhadi who led the rescue team also said that the company had deployed world-class experts and equipment in its efforts to finish the rescue operation as quickly as possible.
"One of the equipment used for the rescue efforts is an instrument to detect vibration called 'Lifepak 3'", he said. (IGT)
