EDITORIAL
Mankind just lived through an event that could be described as epic, after Chile, represented by its leaders and supported by the entire country, all its resources including solidarity, support and unconditional love throughout the world, by means of mass communication, managed to rescue the 33 miners with their stories, sorrows and joys.
From the moment you knew of the collapse of the San José mine in northern Chile, the hearts of men and women worthy and noble joined in prayer, a prayer asking our creator that they be alive. Two weeks later on of the bits tapped back with a message stating “the 33 of us are fine in the place of refuge”, one of several shelters that are part of the design of any underground mine, in which first aid supplies, food and water, tools and equipment are stored and are vital, as indeed they were, for the odyssey lived by our mining peers in Chile.
Once again it proves that things can be done well, even when the misfortune, due to force majeure or acts of God are the determinants in unexpected or undesirable situations and all efforts of the Chileans as a team and friendly countries that assisted, yielded the expected results, the successful rescue of 33 miners into the waiting hands of their families. Including our Bolivian mining brother, who had only been hired five days prior to the incident. It is expected that he and his wife are both saying that he will never work in a mine again. It is normal for his wife and himself to be saying that never again would he work in a mine. He got that job temporarily, he is not a miner by choice, so his sense of belonging and identity is different to the other 32 Chilean miners who confessed with pride to be the son, grandson, great-grandson of miners and would return to their jobs as soon as the situation is back to normal.
Voices of the world, among whom were leaders, politicians, writers and athletes, one of them David Villa of the Spanish national team and FC Barcelona, the son of miners from Asturias stated with great joy and understanding for the miners, how happy he was with the results after two months and 69 days of uncertainty.
The Miner, a publication of the mining project Molejón of Petaquilla Gold, Engineer Richard Fifer, the father of modern mining in Panama, Mr. Rodrigo Esquivel and company staff responsible for this mining project in Panama, congratulate the people of Chile, its rulers, the Chilean mining industry and the rescued miners and their families for this triumph of life and of human ingenuity in adversity as they cheered the rescuers, journalists, officials and miners every time one was brought to the surface: “Chi, Chi, Chi, le, le, le, the miners of Chile yelled. Viva Chile, mining and the lives of rescued miners.
