A mining emergency reported to ANM and handled by its mine-rescue stations and support points, as listed in the register the agency delivered in answer to a public-information petition. It is not every mining death in the country.ⓘ
ANM classifies each emergency by the legal status of the working where it happened: legal, illicit or other. The classification is ANM's, not ours.ⓘ

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.
