The dead bodies of four out of eight missing miners have been found at a zinc mine in Burkina Faso that flooded more than two months ago, the government has said.
The Perkoa mine – owned by Canadian firm Trevali Mining Corp and located some 120km (75 miles) west of the capital, Ouagadougou – was abruptly submerged on April 16 after torrential rain fell unexpectedly during the country’s dry season.
