Peruvian rescuers continue to dig their way towards nine trapped miners.
They've been stuck 200 metres underground since the gold-and-copper mine partially collapsed four days ago.
Rescuers said a large rock is hampering the rescue effort.
The prime minister says it could be a few more days before they are rescued.
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PRIME MINISTER OSCAR VALDES, SAYING:
"We want the rescue to be as soon as possible. The engineer in charge told me that it could be in one or two days."
The men have been receiving oxygen and liquids through a giant hose.
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PRIME MINISTER OSCAR VALDES, SAYING:
"I've spoken to them. They are doing well. They just told me that they are cold because of the humidity in the area. They're also aware that almost all of Peru is keeping abreast of them and we want to rescue them alive."
Small illegal mines are common in Peru, generating as much as $2 billion a year in income, according to private estimates.
Peru's mining sector accounts for 60 percent of the country's total exports.
