Overview

• Videos released by the National Mining Agency show workers emerging from an 80-meter shaft two days after the collapse.
• Officials report the cave-in occurred about 15 meters from the mine entrance and that roughly half of the debris has been removed.
• Rescue teams have sustained the miners with food, water and oxygen and installed a fixed phone so families could speak with them.
• The La Reliquia site in Segovia is run by a local operator under an exploration title held by Canada’s Aris Mining, which is assisting in the response.
• The agency says it expects to reach the remaining miners in the coming hours, as Colombia continues to face frequent mining accidents that killed 124 people last year and 60 from January to July.
