THE families of the 29 men killed in New Zealand's Pike River mine disaster almost two years ago are working out if it's possible to get back into the first part of the mine.
A group of mine experts has been brought to New Zealand by the families and they're gathering information about the prospect of re-entry.
The experts met with the mine's new owners Solid Energy and mines rescue on Tuesday afternoon, 3News reports.
Former UK principal mines inspector Bob Stevenson said there are precedents.
"Re-entering sealed mines isn't new. It's not an impossible situation, but it's a situation fraught with risk and emotion."
For it to be successful, the experts will need to work out whether to ventilate the mine or make it inert, Mr Stevenson said.
They'll also need to find out how badly damaged the mine is.
Spokesman for the families, Bernie Monk, said acting Labour Minister Chris Finlayson had offered to provide a government representative to liaise with the families about re-entry plans.
The experts said they'll know by the weekend if it's possible to go back in.
Mr Monk said the families will listen to the advice of the experts.
