Chilean State miner Codelco partially suspended operations at its El Teniente mine on Sunday after a landslide left two workers dead while one survived, according to SERNAGEOMIN, the South American country's mining regulator. The agency said in a post on X that shortly before 2:00 pm local time (17:00 GMT), a landslide struck three workers from contractor Aura Ingeniería SA while they were inspecting the south pit sector. One worker was rescued, while the other two, who had been trapped, were later found dead.
