On Thursday, March 4th, 2010, approximately at 07.40 p.m. another earthquake happened, this time in the North of Chile. It had an intensity of 6.3 degrees on the Richter scale, and the epicentre was about 65 km northeast of Calama. Due to the very recent event in the South of the country, the moderate quake in the North first caused panic within the population, but after a few minutes people calmed down; no injured people or material damages have been reported. We also have received information from our suppliers in the North, and they report that there has been no damages at all.
