The 74-metre-deep tunnel is blocked by a falling coal seam at both ends, reports Xinhua news agency.
Rescuers have cleared 42 metres of the tunnel as of 6 a.m. on Sunday and were working on the remaining 32 meters from both ends, the authorities said.
The accident occurred at Longyun Coal Mining Co. Ltd. in Yuncheng county on October 20.
