Authorities in Guyana say 18 miners were buried alive in a gold mine in the Konawaruk area Sunday afternoon.

Media reports say the face of the mining pit caved in on 18 miners who were working there.

Seven of the trapped miners were rescued; two are in critical condition and five are being treated at the Madhia Hospital.

The mining operator reportedly had no permission to be on the land.

3. Sad to say, the government in Guyana is corrupt!

Many Canadian mining company have gone into Guyana and left areas that affect streams and wildlife!

4. A new government was elected last Monday

That's the good news.

This mine is illegal.
