Let's hope they are able to keep calm and manage their resources well. But it seems a long shot.

Oh, apparently it isn't so bad.

(CNN) -- More than 3,000 mine workers are trapped in a gold mine in Carletonville, South Africa, according to the South African Press Association.

No injuries are reported.

The workers became trapped when power to the lift used to hoist them failed, the press association said.

The mineworkers' union said a water pipe burst and probably caused the shaft to collapse, The Associated Press reported.

The lift is expected to be functioning in two hours, but it could take more than 10 hours to evacuate all the miners, according to the press association.

Mine management is in contact with the workers, who have access to water and air, the press association reported.

The power outage occurred at 10 a.m., but news was not reported until 9 p.m.

There was no emergency exit in the shaft, which had "not been maintained for ages", the press association quoted mineworkers union spokesman Lesiba Seshoka as saying.
