collapse

San José mine, a small
copper operation in northern Chile owned by Minera San Esteban Primera, suffered
a cave-in on August 5, leaving 33 workers trapped underground.
Rescuers are drilling
holes in an attempt to locate the workers, but there is no official
confirmation whether they would be alive after four days with limited food,
water and oxygen.
A second cave-in on
Saturday forced rescuers to suspend works for several hours.
Local organisations, such
as the federation of Chilean mining workers (FMC) and the confederation of
copper workers (CTC) have questioned Minera San Esteban's safety record,
highlighting several fatal accidents that have previously been reported at the
small company.
Chile's president
SebastiánPiñera has promised a thorough investigation into the accident.
Minera San Esteban produces
around 1,200 tpy of copper, according to local news reports.
The San José mine was
closed in March 2007 following a fatal accident in January that year. It
resumed operations a year later, reports said.
