A TEAM of international mining experts say it's possible to get back into the Pike River coalmine to recover the bodies of 29 men killed in explosions at the mine almost two years ago.
British experts Bob Stevenson and David Creedy, along with Kiwi Dave Feickert, were brought together by the families of the victims to review the possibility of re-entering the mine.
This week they've been in Greymouth, where they've met with Solid Energy and mines rescue.
The group visited the mine itself and walked up to a temporary seal about 170 metres along the underground coalmine's tunnel.
"It is our belief as a group that yes, we can in fact effect a re-entry into these workings and we can do it safely," Mr Stevenson said.
"It's not without problems, but we believe those problems are solvable."
However, the plan needs support from Solid Energy, mines rescue and the government, Fairfax reports.
Spokesman for the families Bernie Monk said he was cautiously optimistic a body recovery operation would go ahead.
Mr Monk said he plans to present the experts' re-entry plan to Solid Energy and Prime Minister John Key.
