SANTIAGO (Reuters) – An electrical accident at Codelco’s El Teniente mine in central Chile, the company’s largest mine, left one dead, the state-owned mining giant said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Codelco said the accident happened at the mine’s Andes Norte expansion project at about 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) when Osvaldo Bustamante Frias, a 29-year-old electrical technician, suffered an electric discharge during the installation of a generator.<\/p>\n

The company said work in the area was immediately halted and started an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n

State-owned Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, said the technician was employed by German construction firm Zublin, which had been contracted to work on the Andes Norte project.<\/p>\n

Chile’s mining regulator announced the death earlier on Thursday and said its national director had been dispatched to the site to begin an investigation.<\/p>\n

Last July, Codelco reported two separate, fatal accidents that prompted it to temporarily halt some mining projects.<\/p>\n

“The company reiterates its call to improve safety as an essential aspect of any work we carry out,” Codelco said in a statement, urging those who work on its facilities to respect safety standards and protocols.<\/p>\n

Parts of El Teniente’s mining operations had been halted recently due to recent torrential rainfall, but underground operations and work on the Andes Norte project continued.<\/p>\n

The mine produced 405,429 metric tons of copper in 2022. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
