Each row is one emergency as ANM registers it. The mine's name is shown without the name of whoever works it, and the holder the register prints is never shown. The expediente is the one ANM prints. "Reported, not attended" marks emergencies ANM registered without its team attending.

The lessons-learned records and the press releases are ANM's own layers, smaller than the register; one emergency can appear in all three.
“La Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM) celebra el exitoso rescate de los 18 trabajadores que quedaron atrapados tras un derrumbe en la mina El Minón, ubicada en zona rural del municipio de Remedios, Antioquia.”

“La Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM) lamenta profundamente el accidente minero ocurrido en el sector Providencia, municipio de Remedios, Antioquia, donde varios mineros quedaron atrapados tras un derrumbe por fallas geomecánicas en una bocamina asociada a actividades de extracción ilícita de oro.”

Each event is what one ANM press release states, with the sentence it rests on quoted verbatim. Tolls in a rescue-in-progress release are provisional; a later release about the same event is a separate entry. The count is a floor.
