Chile's state-owned copper mining giant, Codelco, has successfully recommenced select underground operations at its El Teniente mine, which holds the distinction of being the world's largest underground copper mine. Following an earthquake that caused a devastating collapse at the mine, leading to the tragic loss of six lives, mining activities are now gradually returning to normalcy. Relevant authorities have meticulously identified safe zones, within which operations have resumed; however, the accident-prone area remains strictly off-limits. This incident has significantly disrupted the company's production recovery strategy, as initial investigations have unveiled that the extent of tunnel damage is considerably more extensive than initially projected.
