All 486 miners trapped underground after a fire broke out at a South African goldmine have been found safe, ABC News quoted the mine's spokeswoman as saying on Sunday.
The 18 miners who were still missing shortly before 9 pm have been located, said Harmony Gold Mining Company spokeswoman Charmane Russell.
A rescue mission was underway to bring the remaining miners above ground, the mining company said in a statement.
The miners were trapped when a fire started 2,300 meters below the surface, said the mining company.
About 389 miners had already been brought safely to the surface and Harmony Gold said the fire has been contained.
