Two miners remain missing more than a day after their vehicle plummeted into a deep hole about 100 metres underground at a zinc mine in northern Queensland.

Rescuers using drone technology have found a light vehicle that two Barminco contractors - identified by media as Dylan Langridge and Trevor Davis - were driving when the collapse happened at MMG's Dugald River Mine near Cloncurry on Wednesday.

The collapse involved a light vehicle and a drill rig falling 25m into a void, known as a stope.
