Rescuers in China have freed 11 gold miners who were trapped hundreds of metres underground for two weeks.
TV footage showed the first miner, who was blindfolded to protect his eyes from the light, being lifted out as emergency workers cheered.
The fate of 10 other miners remains unknown, as rescue operations continue to try to locate them.
The entrance tunnel to the Hushan gold mine in Shandong province collapsed after an explosion on 10 January.
