Families of two miners trapped in northern Tasmania face another agonising day as rescue crews continue their search at Beaconsfield Gold Mine.

Rescuers are tunnelling about four metres every 12-hours, and aren't expected to reach the 35-year-old Todd Russell and 37-year-old Brant Webb until tomorrow.

The miners have been trapped nine-hundred metres underground since a seismic event triggered rock falls on Tuesday night.

The body of a third miner involved, Larry Knight, was retrieved on Thursday.
