Due to all the work drilling holes trying to find the miners in the first place months ago, they found a HUGE gold mine, that nodoby knew about it. The owners besides declaring the company in bankrupt ( not sure if they already done that) , they still own that land and that gold. Lucky bastards.
The whole process to get the miners out is , by now, 30 million dollars at least .
The new found gold mine estimated value is unknow by the press , but its going to be way more than 30 millions dollars. They are gonna found a way to make them pay thats for sure.
