Sixteen years after the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners, their story continues to inspire new generations.
Esperanza: A Story of the Rescue of the 33 is an illustrated children's book written by Laurence Golborne, Chile's Minister of Mining at the time of the rescue. Gold Fields funded and supported the development of the book and recently delivered 160 copies to the Atacama Regional Education Secretariat for distribution to primary schools across the region.
The initiative forms part of Gold Fields' commitment to education and its ongoing work with communities in Atacama, helping bring an important chapter of Chile's mining history closer to students.
