Operations at Codelco’s El Teniente mine remain suspended after collapse

Chilean state-run miner Codelco said on Monday that underground operations at its El Teniente copper mine remained suspended, after an earthquake triggered a collapse last week that killed six people.

In a filing, Codelco added that it was committed to restoring operations as soon as safety conditions permitted, but that the effects of the stoppage could not yet be estimated.
