To reduce announced officials on Saturday that the drill reached sixty days after the mine blasted the miners as sirens through the mine site to signal performance.

One rescue coordinators, René Aguilar, an engineer for copper State-owned company CODELCO, said this week you can wrap the wave, a process that could take only 10 hours only the first 100 meters (328 feet).
Before someone can be saved, the hole must be extended, so that the rescue capsule-German Phoenix-clean inside the tunnel can land without always on foreign bodies suspended Golborne said.
To achieve this, explosive miners for use in the wave expansion be reduced Golborne said who little concerned that the underground pyrotechnics would pose a risk for men.
"We have to take into account that we are talking about miners have the experience, many of you are licensed to use explosives, you know how you to manipulate, you have already made the holes you, festgelegt....So need the correct quantities of explosives is a very controlled explosion that is made after we break into the tunnel."
