    At least seven workers at a small gold mine in southern Peru have died in what is believed to be an accident, local police reported on Thursday.


    The victims' bodies were discovered 1.5 km (0.93 mile) deep in the mine with injuries to their extremities, local police chief Enrique Felipe Monroy told radio station RPP.


    Monroy said that initial evidence pointed to a collapse in the mine, in the town of La Rinconada. In the region, hundreds of small mines operate, many of them without proper legal permissions.
