Some 100 people were involved in search for workers at El Teniente copper mine, the world’s largest underground mine.

The bodies of all five miners trapped in a collapsed shaft in the world's biggest underground copper mine for three days have been found.

SANTIAGO, Aug 3 (Reuters) - All five trapped workers at Codelco's El Teniente copper mine have been found dead, a regional prosecutor said on Sunday, after rescue teams cleared more than two dozen meters (78 feet) of underground passages that collapsed in a strong tremor last week.
