Peru Rescues Seven Miners Trapped By Landslide PERU: April 14, 2008 LIMA - Peruvian rescue workers on Saturday saved seven miners late who had been trapped under a landslide at a small, independent mine near the Andes mountain range, regional police said. The miners were trapped for around 38 hours at the Chuncanaqui site in the region of Ancash, north of Lima. Police, civil defense workers and technicians from Canada's Barrick Gold Corp dug for hours to reach the mine's entrance, where the workers were buried in rubble.
