Rescuers in Chile continue to look for four miners caught in a mine, who collapsed after an earthquake two days ago after one’s body was found.
The state -owned company Codelco said the human remains were found in the El Teniente copper mine, about 70 km (43 miles) southeast of the capital Santiago.
The company says Savior’s efforts continue. The fate of the other four employees is unclear.
The collapse of some of Mina’s underground tunnels is caused by a 4.2 magnitude tremor on Thursday. The captured miners at that time worked deep below the surface.
It is reported that one man was killed after the earthquake, with five trapped in the mine.
Codelco said the victim found in the mine on Saturday must still be identified, but the families of the five miners trapped have been notified.
“This discovery fills us with sadness, but it also tells us that we are in the right place, that the strategy we follow has led us,” Andres Andres Music General said in a statement.
Rescue crews use heavy machines in an attempt to clear the blocked passages to try to reach the miners.
Mr. Music said that rescuers hope to continue at 15-20 m (49-66 feet) every 24 hours.
El Teniente is the largest underground copper mine in the world.
It is located high in the Andes Mountains in Central Chile.
