WA search for missing prospector continues

The search for a missing prospector whose husband was found dead at the bottom of a disused mineshaft is set to resume in a remote part of Western Australia.

Jennie Kehlet has been missing since March in WA's Mid West region and was last seen camping with her husband Raymond Kehlet, aged 47.

Police will target several areas about 30km south of Sandstone in their search for the 49-year-old woman, who they assume has died.
