Chile’s rescuers were searching for four mining workers who were trapped in a mine after an earthquake two days ago, after the body was found.
The government-owned Codelco Company has said that the capital Santiago’s south-east is about 70 km. About 70 km (43 miles) (43 miles) has been found in human remnants in his El Tenient Copper Mines.
Firm says the rescue’s efforts are underway. The fate of the other four employees is unclear.
On Thursday, some of the underground tunnels of the mine collapsed. At that time, the stuck mining workers were working deeply under the surface.
A man was killed after the earthquake and was stuck in five mines.
Kodelco said the victim found in the mine on Saturday must be recognized, but the family of five trapped mining workers has been notified.
“This discovery is filled with grief, but it also says that we are in the right place, the strategy we followed took us to them,” Andres Music, the general manager of the L Tennials Department, said in a statement.
Rescue teams are using heavy machinery in an attempt to clear the blocked road to try to reach the mining workers.
Mr. Music said the defenders were expected to move at the rate of 15-20 meters (49-66 feet) every 24 hours.
L Tenniat is the world’s largest underground copper mine.
It is high in the Andes of the Central Chile.
