Edison Pena, 34, is the latest miner to be freed from the San Jose mine. The BBC's Valeria Perasso has been monitoring the rescue attempt from Camp Hope all morning and reports on the latest.

It's been 69 days since 700,000 tons of rock collapsed on the San Jose mine in Chile, trapping 33 men inside. Though initial estimates said the miners could not be freed before Christmas, it's likely that all of the men will be hoisted to safety by the end of today.

The tenth miner was just freed, and the rescue capsule is on its way to save the eleventh, 56 year old Jorge Galleguillos.

Valeria Perasso, Southern Cone correspondent for the BBC, joins us again with the latest from Camp Hope. She also discusses the future of the Chilean mining industry.

Valeria Perasso of the BBC once again reports from the San Jose mine in Chile, where the tenth miner, Alex Vega, is being pulled out of the mine. 

We continue our coverage of the rescue effort underway in Chile this morning. After two months, miners who have been trapped underground since August are being pulled to safety.

Mario Gomez, the oldest miner at age 63, is the most recent to be freed. Gomez suffers from silicosis, and had lost three fingers in a previous mining accident. He appears to be in good condition.

Currently, the rescue capsule is on its way back down into the mine to collect the tenth miner. Valeria Perasso, the BBC's Southern Cone correspondent, is at the San Jose mine and joins us again for the latest.

What started as a possible human tragedy is ending this morning as the story of triumph and perseverance. Eight of the 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped beneath the ground for the last two months have been hoisted to safety. All of the remaining miners are expected to be freed by tomorrow.

Claudio Yanez, 34, is the most recent miner to be freed. His girlfriend, Cristina Nunez, was there waiting for him and asked him to marry her.

It's been four days since an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Chile and since then, the country's military and police force have been tested in some of the hardest hit areas, where there have been reports of curfews, looting, and vigilantes protecting their threatened property. At the same time aid has been arriving from around the world, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arriving in the capital yesterday.
