Hundreds of gigabytes of information about the Pike River mine disaster is yet to be released, the mother of one of the miners says.
Newshub has released footage that shows two men and a robot apparently inside the drift of the Pike River mine three months after the final explosion.
Prime Minister Bill English told Morning Report the footage did not change the assessment of the mine's safety, and would not alter his decision to not re-enter the mine.
However, he had some questions about why the footage did not go before the Royal Commission into the disaster.
The lawyer representing some Pike River families says the footage is both extraordinary and alarming.
The video shows two men wearing Mines Rescue uniforms and using breathing apparatus.
