MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The last of the 14 bodies trapped in a collapsed coal mine in northern Mexico have been recovered, Mexico's labor minister said on Sunday.
Rescue workers had worked around the clock to find the victims after a shallow mine shaft collapsed on Tuesday outside the town of Sabinas in the desert state of Coahuila, which borders Texas.
All 14 miners caught up in the methane gas explosion died.
"At 1:35 this morning, the last victim of Tuesday's accident was rescued here in Sabinas. Mission accomplished," Labor Minister Javier Lozano said on Twitter.
Mexico has been a leading minerals exporter for centuries and expects $4 billion in investment in its mining industry this year. But smaller mines often escape inspection and bypass many basic safety standards.
