Collapsed mine was not “formally authorized”
The gold mine that collapsed in Colombia was not a “formally authorized operation.” Local authorities say this, according to the newspaper El Tiempo.
The mine is located in Antioquia in northwestern Colombia, where the industry is strong. In a statement, the company says it “worked intensively” to save its employees.
It was when a fully loaded elevator came loose and pulled the entrance with it that the collapse was a fact. For 12 hours, 18 workers were trapped before they were finally rescued, all unharmed.
