SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Copper miner Codelco has asked Chile's mining regulator for permission to reopen a part of its flagship El Teniente mine after a collapse last week that killed six people, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Codelco suspended mining operations at El Teniente, the world's biggest underground copper mine, which produced more than 300,000 metric tons last year, on Thursday evening.
