Tas: Tassie gold miners found alive, company =2
Reverend Seen said Mr Russell's brother had reported that a camera had "gotten through
to them" and they were still alive and that they "seemed to be okay".
"They've called in all the miners in to start work getting them out," she said.
"And they'll have them out tomorrow so it's going to still be a little bit of time
but at least they're still alive.
"It's wonderful. We can celebrate now."
Todd Russell's brother Stephen said the family did not yet know the full story.
"It's great news," Mr Russell told AAP.
The company released a short statement tonight.
"A short time ago rescuers at the Beaconsfield Mine believe they have located the two
miners missing since last Tuesday night," Mr Gill said.
"Indications are that the two men are still alive.
"The two miners are believed to be in the area where they were last seen.
"More information will be released as it comes to hand but obviously the focus will
be on the rescue effort."
