The mining giant recovered on Sunday the bodies of five remaining workers who went missing on Sept. 8, bringing an end to a nearly monthlong search and rescue effort for seven total workers, all confirmed deceased.
Around 800,000 metric tons of wet material flooded the mine on September 8, when material from an extraction point flowed at one of five sections of the Grasberg Block Cave underground gold and copper mine in Tembagapura.
Following the recovery of two bodies on Saturday, Freeport Indonesia's rescue teams are continuing the difficult search for the five workers still trapped nearly two weeks since a devastating landslide collapsed an underground mine on Sept. 8 in Grasberg, Central Papua.
