Acting Minister for Natural Resources and Mines Tony Perrett said he had been briefed on the incident.
“Emergency crews, including the Queensland Mines and Rescue Service, are on site and doing everything possible,” he said in a statement.
He said two workers had been “recovered safely”, while work was continuing to rescue a third worker.

he said.
