Peru Rescues Seven Miners Trapped By Landslide PERU: April 14, 2008 LIMA - Peruvian rescue workers on Saturday saved seven miners late who had been trapped under a landslide at a small, independent mine near the Andes mountain range, regional police said. The miners were trapped for around 38 hours at the Chuncanaqui site in the region of Ancash, north of Lima. Police, civil defense workers and technicians from Canada's Barrick Gold Corp dug for hours to reach the mine's entrance, where the workers were buried in rubble. "The miners were fatigued but as soon as we cleared the entrance to the mine, they were able to get out," the regional police chief told local radio RPP. The miners were taken to a private clinic in the area. It was not clear what minerals drew miners to the small, informal site. Heavy rains in central and northern Peru have caused landslides and flooding in the last few months, killing at least 16 people.
