Pampa Camarones SpA informs that, regarding the incident affecting our worker José Miguel Espinoza Albornoz, 43 years old, married and with one daughter, who works as an LHD Operator, he is in good health and maintains radio communication with the exterior every 20 minutes. Necessary arrangements have been made to ensure he is in constant contact with his family.
