The body of the man who was killed in a mud-rush incident at the New Afton Mine near Kamloops has been recovered.
Contract driller Ray Rosenberg was identified by family as the victim but mine owner New Gold says it will not be releasing a name because of personal and privacy reasons.
The company confirmed that a body was recovered around 5:30 pm Wednesday evening.
It was almost 40 hours after the incident happened early on Tuesday morning.
All underground mining and surface activities remain suspended as the investigation into the incident continues.
