The owners of the Lily Mine in Barberton say they have renewed hope of finding the container in which three workers are trapped after recovering a tyre that was attached to the structure when it collapsed.
The recovery of the tyre from one of the draw points underground has lifted the spirits of rescue workers who were frustrated by the lack of progress over the past two days.
Mine managers and union bosses have now gone underground where they hope to dislodge more than 20 tonnes of rock preventing access to the container.
