The miners trapped in the Copiapó mining accident in Chile in 2010 were primarily Chilean. However, there were also miners from other countries, including Peru and Bolivia, working in the mine. The incident drew international attention, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of those involved in the mining industry in Chile. Overall, the majority of the miners were local Chileans.
