Teams race to rescue trapped workers at world's largest underground copper mine
Chilean copper giant Codelco says it aims to reach five trapped workers within the next 12 hours following a mine collapse that killed one person. The workers have been trapped for 18 hours without any contact with teams outside after a 4.2-magnitude tremor on Thursday, local time, rocked its flagship El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper deposit. The incident triggered aftershocks that have made it impossible for rescuers to reach the area where workers are trapped, El Teniente's general manager Andres Music told a press conference. Nine workers have also been injured. Codelco expected aftershocks to settle within the next 12 hours, allowing the miner to send remotely operated equipment, similar to robots or drones, to help workers clear material blocking the tunnels, Mr Music said. Codelco has halted copper extraction operations but is continuing to operate its concentrator and smelter, said Amador Pantoja, one of the union leaders at El Teniente. "The plant and the smelter are operating normally, as we always have a supply of both ore and concentrate," he said. "It's the mine that is currently shut down." Codelco is investigating whether the incident was due to natural causes in the earthquake-prone country, or mining activity, he said. "The event we recorded yesterday is one of the largest events — if not the largest — that the El Teniente mine has experienced in decades," Mr Music said. Nearly 100 people were on site to aid in the rescue, he said, noting the next 48 hours would be critical. He said neither explosives nor drilling had caused the accident. Mr Music did not address how the incident would affect Codelco's output in producing areas of El Teniente. Codelco on Friday said it will postpone the release of its second quarter results, initially planned for Friday morning, due to an accident at El Teniente mine. The company said it will announce a new release date at a later time. Andesita is one of Codelco's newest projects at its flagship El Teniente complex, and was due to begin production in the second quarter of this year. The complex spans more than 4,500 kilometres of tunnels and underground galleries in the Andes mountains. Reuters

Noel Callow stood down by Queensland stewards over racist video rant
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. By Ben Dorries and Gilbert Gardiner Group 1-winning jockey Noel Callow has been charged by racing stewards and stood down from riding in the wake of a racially-fuelled video that has been circulating of him ridiculing an Indigenous man. News Corp revealed on Thursday that a street talk-style exchange, understood to have been recorded in Darwin last year, was being investigated by Queensland stewards. On Friday, the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission charged the controversial jockey with two charges of conduct prejudicial to the image of racing. The matter was adjourned by stewards to allow Callow to seek legal advice before he enters a plea to the charges. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! However, Callow was immediately stood down by stewards, with his riding license suspended in full, pending the outcome of the stewards inquiry. 'The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) has today convened a Stewards' Inquiry and issued two charges under Australian Rule of Racing AR 228(a) against licensed jockey Mr Noel Callow,' a QRIC statement reads. 'The charges relate to conduct alleged to have occurred approximately one year ago while Mr Callow was not riding at, or attending, a race meeting and was not at any racecourse. 'It is alleged Mr Callow engaged in conduct prejudicial to the image of racing. 'Acting under AR 23(a), the Stewards have suspended Mr Callow's jockey licence in full, pending the outcome of the inquiry. Mr Callow has been informed of his right of appeal in respect of this decision. 'QRIC takes matters concerning conduct, welfare, and integrity seriously and will continue to ensure all participants are held to the highest professional and behavioural standards.' Noel Callow has been stood down over a racially-fuelled video that has been circulating. It means Callow cannot fulfil his rides during the Darwin Cup carnival, with Nash Rawiller replacing him on Bear Story in Monday's $200,000 Darwin Cup. Callow – with five Group 1s to his name in Australia – had only just returned to riding after being banned for a physical altercation with fellow Group 1 winning jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in the jockeys' room during a race meeting in the Queensland winter carnival. With big-race wins all over the world including a prolific stint in Singapore, former Victorian Callow moved to Queensland several years ago and was starting to re-establish himself as a serious riding force in the metropolitan scene. In the street talk video, Callow engaged with an Indigenous man rather playfully at first, 'what's doing crackers', then proceeded with insensitive commentary on hygiene and culture. In a separate 17-second clip, which also came to the attention of racing authorities this week, Callow is heard but not pictured in the frame. Callow it appears filmed the vision riding a bicycle on a footpath, holding a jockey whip in the left hand, and fired off offensive racist four-letter slurs at two pedestrians after inaudible verballing. After more than two months out of the saddle, Callow made a winning return to racing this week when riding Stormfront to victory in Darwin for Gold Coast trainer Peter Robl.
