The 33 Chilean miners trapped deep underground have been told they may not be rescued for several months, the country's health minister has said.
Jaime Manalich said the miners, trapped 700m below ground since 5 August, had reacted calmly, AFP news agency said.
Officials had delayed breaking the news out of concern for their mental well-being.
A special exercise and recreation programme is being set up to keep the men fit during their long wait.
