Chinese firms to build $2 billion Tanzanian rail to nickel mine
The new railway will link the port of Dar es Salaam to a nickel mine in neighboring Burundi.
Rescuers were racing against time on Saturday to reach 40 miners buried underground in two separate coal mine disasters which have already killed three people in south China.
Work crew operated at least 17 pumps at Niupeng Mine in rural Guizhou Province to release water from the flooded mine before rescuers could be sent down the pit.
