Santiago: The world's largest underground copper mine was set to resume operating on Sunday, after a deadly cave-in suspended work for more than a week.
Chile's Mining Ministry ordered El Teniente to halt activity on August 1 to allow rescuers to search for five miners trapped after a "seismic event" caused the collapse of a tunnel the day before.
One worker was killed in the collapse, while five others were left missing and later found dead.
Whether the cause of the shaking was due to an earthquake or drilling remains under investigation.
State-owned operator Codelco said normal operations would resume on Sunday.
