Beijing, Jumada II 26, 1438, Mar 25, 2017, SPA -- Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide forced rescuers to halt their search for a missing worker on Saturday, a day after accidents at two neighboring gold mines killed 10 people in central China, state media reported.
According to dpa, rescuers were using high-tech devices to try to locate a worker in the Qinling gold mine, where visibility was less than 1 meter, the Xinhua news agency reported.
Eight miners died Friday after thick smoke filled a pit at the China National Gold Group near the city of Lingbao in Henan province. Nine people were being treated in hospital.
Meanwhile, at a nearby gold mine on Friday, two miners died in a similar incident, Xinhua said.
No cause was reported for either accident.
