Description:

One of five miners trapped after a collapse at the world's largest underground copper mine has been found dead, Chile's state-owned Codelco mining group says, with the company's vice president of human resources telling the media "we will keep putting our full energy into the rescue efforts" for the four workers still missing. The collapse took place on 31 July at the El Teniente mine following a "seismic event". It has yet to be determined whether this was a natural tremor or caused by drilling.
