A man has died following a mine collapse at Mount Clear yesterday, 13 March.
Emergency services were called to an operational mining site on Woolshed Gully Drive about 4.50pm after reports of a rockfall.
Two people were pinned by fallen rocks while 28 workers were able to take refuge in a safety pod.
The incident occurred approximately 3km underground from the mine entry.
Paramedics worked with mine rescue staff to stabilise one person prior to extrication.
The 21-year-old Ballarat man was treated for lower body injuries and airlifted to hospital in a serious condition.
The 28 miners that took refuge were safely brought to the surface and assessed by Ambulance Victoria.
The body of the second man trapped, a 37-year-old Bruthen man, was recovered this morning.
WorkSafe will investigate the incident while police will prepare a report for the coroner.
