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.

“La Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM) acompaña las labores de rescate de los 23 mineros atrapados en la mina La Reliquia, en el municipio de Segovia (Antioquia), un título minero dedicado a la explotación 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.
