23 Miners Rescued After 43 Hours Trapped In Colombian Gold Mine

September 25, 2025

After nearly two days trapped deep underground, 23 gold miners in northern Colombia made a dramatic return to daylight on Wednesday—greeted by cheers, applause, and tears from loved ones.

The workers had been stuck inside the La Reliquia mine in Antioquia for 43 hours after the main entrance collapsed on Monday due to a geomechanical failure, according to Colombia’s National Mining Agency.

A video released by the agency captured the powerful moment the first miners emerged, climbing a rope up the steep shaft on their own strength. Family members who had anxiously waited for hours erupted in celebration as each miner made it to safety.
