More than 2,000 feet; nearly 700m underground.
Gold miners mined underground to access deeper veins of gold that could not be easily reached through surface mining methods. Underground mining allowed miners to extract gold from deposits that were buried deep beneath the earth's surface, leading to potentially higher yields of gold.

This type of mining is called underground mining. Miners access the ore through tunnels and shafts dug beneath the surface of the Earth. It is often used when the ore deposits are located deep underground.
Deep shaft mining is a method of extracting minerals and resources from deep underground by digging vertically downward, creating a shaft that allows miners and equipment to access the deposits. This method is commonly used for accessing resources such as coal, gold, and copper that are located deep beneath the Earth's surface.
The Chilean miners were underground for 69 days before being rescued.
I believe there was 32 miners.

The 33 miners from Chile were stuck underground for 69 days before they were rescued on October 13, 2010.
The Chilean coal miners were trapped underground for 69 days before being rescued.
they are 750m deep
In Chile for 66 days
The chilean miners have been stuck undergorund for 69 days
Ore was deep underground and it was expensive to extract.
Gold miners mined underground to access deeper veins of gold that could not be easily reached through surface mining methods. Underground mining allowed miners to extract gold from deposits that were buried deep beneath the earth's surface, leading to potentially higher yields of gold.
The miners in Chile were trapped underground due to a cave-in at the San José copper-gold mine. The collapse blocked the exit and trapped the miners about 2,300 feet below the surface. Efforts were made to rescue them, resulting in their eventual successful extraction after 69 days.
The cave over them was collapsing due to erosion and they had to dig holes underground for the lift up because there in tubes and 15min after last person was brought out the cave, it collapsed and they would have all been dead if they hadn't been brought out.
