Death Toll Rises to 4 at Chile Mine Collapse as Search Continues

(Bloomberg) – Codelco said he saved the body of five workers caught in one of the world’s largest underground copper mines in the center of Chile. A search continues for the other two.

The update brings the official death fee to four after the incident on Thursday after the incident is confirmed that another person is dead. Nine people were injured.

In parallel with the efforts we continue to make the two stuck colleagues with the commitment to rescue our colleagues, Codelco provides all the necessary support to their loved ones and loved ones in parallel with the efforts we continue to make the commitment to rescue.

The state miner is struggling with a human tragedy in the El Teneiente Mine in the south of Santiago in an incident that stops concerns for global copper supply.

CODELCO, the world’s largest copper supplier, stopped mining in the region after hitting a new part of the complex called Andesita, a collapse attributed to seismic activity. The last decline of the company’s efforts to get rid of an output decline for years.

A team of 100 people is working on the attempt to rescue 33 workers stuck in another Chilean mine in-2010.

The 120 -year -old El Teniente Mine is very important for Codelco to return to pandemic production levels of approximately 1.7 million tons in a year from approximately 1.4 million tons. Codelco delayed three -month results, including production guidance, while taking care of the accident.

When the operations can continue, the result of an investigation into collapse will depend on how much the infrastructure is strengthened and whether they need to adjust the mining method.

The mines in Chile are designed to withstand a much more powerful seismic activity than the 4.2 -magnitude incident that caused collapse.
