Overview

• Colombia's mining agency said seven of 23 miners emerged from about 80 meters underground at the La Reliquia site in Segovia, Antioquia.
• Video posted by the agency showed mud-covered miners exiting the shaft one by one while the rescue operation continued.
• Officials reported ongoing delivery of food, water and oxygen to those still underground, with communication maintained via a wired phone.
• The mine operates under a block assigned to Canada's Aris Mining but is run day to day by a local cooperative, and five of the trapped were Aris employees according to the company.
• The incident comes as Colombia faces frequent mining accidents, including seven deaths days earlier at an illegal gold mine in the southwest.
