SUDBURY, Ont. - A rescue operation for 39 miners who were trapped underground in northern Ontario on the weekend continues today, with their employer saying it expects all workers to emerge later this morning. Mining company Vale says 19 workers already returned to the surface early today and are in good health. As a result, it said the "conveyance system" for taking workers to and from the surface became unavailable. Vale says miners have been staying in underground "refuge stations," as part of the company's standard procedures.
