Hopes of finding their loved ones alive are slim with more than two days having passed since the initial flooding.

"All I can hope is that the miners' bodies will be found," said Zeng Huanbiao, one of the four survivors.

"I cannot remember exactly what happened," he recalled in a local hospital. The 30-year-old miner was washed along the mineshaft by the flood waters as he clutched a floating piece of wood.

Zeng, a native of Xingning, is suffering inspiratory pneumonia, kidney and lung trauma and breathing difficulties, a doctor overseeing his case said.

Despite the black outlook, Huang Huahua, governor of Guangdong, pledged, "If there is a tiny hope, we will spare no efforts to rescue the trapped miners."

The rescue headquarters at the site announced a list of missing miners yesterday morning. The missing workers mainly came from Hunan and Jiangxi provinces and Xingning.
