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.
“Con profundo dolor, la Agencia Nacional de Minería confirma el fallecimiento de los seis trabajadores atrapados en la emergencia minera de la vereda La Ramada, Cucunubá, Cundinamarca.”
La ANM confirma el lamentable fallecimiento de los seis mineros de Cucunubá
“Una vez culminadas las labores de salvamento, que se extendieron durante toda la jornada del 14 de agosto, y tras apoyar la extracción de los cuerpos de los seis trabajadores y su entrega en superficie a la SIJIN de la Policía Nacional, el equipo técnico de la Agencia Nacional de Minería procederá con la elaboración del informe correspondiente a la emergencia registrada en la bocamina Porvenir 1, vereda La Ramada, en Cucunubá, Cundinamarca.”
“El Grupo de Seguridad y Salvamento Minero de la Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM), con el apoyo del Ministerio de Minas y Energía, Cuerpo de Bomberos, Cruz Roja, Defensa Civil y de la Unidad Departamental del Riesgo, finalizaron el rescate de las 7 víctimas mortales que dejó la emergencia presentada, aparentemente, por una explosión de gas metano en unas minas de carbón en Cucunubá, Cundinamarca.”
Finalizaron las labores de rescate tras emergencia minera en Cucunubá, Cundinamarca
“El Grupo de Seguridad y Salvamento Minero de la Agencia Nacional de Minería, con el apoyo del Ministerio de Minas y entidades de rescate, está atendiendo de forma ininterrumpida la emergencia presentada en la madrugada de este jueves en 2 minas de carbón, ubicadas en el municipio de Cucunubá, en Cundinamarca.”
Agencia Nacional de Minería ya había ordenado el cierre de minas en donde se registró accidente
“Recuerda que el momento más difícil durante esta labor fue el pasado 23 de junio cuando se presentó una emergencia por una explosión de metano en dos minas de carbón de Cucunubá (Cundinamarca) y fue la encargada de la coordinación del rescate, donde murieron 13 mineros.”
“Dentro de una mina hombres y mujeres somos iguales”: socorredoras mineras
“El primer hecho se presentó por un derrumbe en un Área de Reserva Especial Minera en Cucunubá, en el que participó el equipo especializado de la Estación de Ubaté, dando como resultado el rescate de dos mineros con vida a la media noche de este jueves 14 de junio.”
Equipo de socorredores rescatan con vida a cinco mineros en Antioquia y Cundinamarca
“Durante más de un día, sin descanso alguno, nuestros socorredores de salvamento rescataron los cuerpos de 13 personas fallecidas, y una herida, sin presentarse ningún incidente en el proceso.”
“El Ministerio de Minas y Energía, la Agencia Nacional de Minería, y la Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres UNGRD, han estado al frente de las labores de rescate, luego de una emergencia minera presentada este viernes 23 de junio, en la Vereda Pueblo Viejo del municipio de Cucunubá en Cundinamarca.”
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.
