The fourth miner to be rescued from the mine in Chile emerged Wednesday at 03:08 (0808 GMT).

Carlos Mamani, a Bolivian and the only non-Chilean among the 33 trapped miners, knelt to the ground before being embraced by his wife as he emerged from the rescue capsule to jubilant crowds, DPA reported.

A further 29 miners remain underground, but the rescue operation is so far proceeding successfully.
