Santiago, Chile: Chilean authorities started investigating on Monday a mysterious sinkhole about 82 feet in diameter that appeared over the weekend in a mining area in the north of the country.
Chilean media showed aerial images of the sinkhole on land operated by a Canadian Lundin Mining LUNTO copper mine, about 413 miles north of the capital Santiago.
The National Service of Geology and Mining (Sernageomin) became aware of the sinkhole on Saturday, July 30 and have sent specialist personnel to the area, the agency’s director David Montenegro said in a statement.
