Newmont Corp. says the three miners who have been trapped for days in the Red Chris mine in northern B.C. were successfully brought to the surface safely on Thursday night.

The company says they were freed at 10:40 p.m. PT.

"We are relieved to share that all three individuals are safe, and in good health and spirits," said Newmont in an emailed statement. "They had consistent access to food, water and ventilation whilst they remained in place in a refuge chamber underground over the last two days. They are now being supported by medical and wellness teams. Their families have been notified."
