SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Chilean state copper miner Codelco said on Monday that the general manager of its El Teniente mine, where a recent collapse killed six workers, will leave his position as part of a "mutual agreement."
The mine's current operations manager, Claudio Sougarret, will take over from Andres Music beginning on Tuesday on an interim basis as the mine restarts production, Codelco said.
Codelco over the weekend began a partial restart of underground mining activity, after such operations were halted following the Aug. 31 collapse.
The company on Monday said its smelter was awaiting copper concentrate to be able to restart.
