Chilean copper miner Codelco said on Thursday that one worker died at the Andesita project of its El Teniente mine after what it called a “seismic event” around 5:30 p.m. local time.

The company said in a statement it was looking for another five workers, and that nine workers had various injuries but were out of serious risk.

Codelco said it immediately suspended activities in the affected area and started an investigation to determine the cause of the incident.

El Teniente is the world's largest underground copper deposit and Codelco’s flagship mine.
