All 4 miners that were trapped 500 feet underground in a collapsed silver and gold mine near the town of Portovelo close to the Peruvian border are dead.
Searchers earlier reported finding the bodies of two miners.
Rescue efforts have ended. The four miners have died,' the daily El Comercio quoted Carlos Pareja Yanuzzelli, vice minister for Non-Renewable Natural Resources. "We did everything we could, the miners who helped in solidarity also did what they could. Unfortunately yesterday every progress we had made was lost due to new collapses."
