Two miners trapped in an underground coalmine in the NSW Southern Highlands late into the night have been rescued after a crane lowered emergency services personnel into the mine's entrance. The pair became trapped in a lift at the Tahmoor mine near Picton about 3pm on Wednesday. A spokesman for mining company owner SIMEC Mining said the lift carrying the pair to the surface had stopped about 150 metres short. "Firefighters in the rescue lift cart were lowered down to the stuck lift cart and were able to remove two miners … into the rescue cart and bring them to the surface," he said.
