(Adds detail on operations) SANTIAGO, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Chile's mining regulator Sernageomin said on Friday it is investigating the death of a worker at BHP's Escondida, the world's largest copper mine. Two sources with knowledge of the matter said mining operations continued normally after the incident. BHP in a statement said a contractor had died on Thursday. An internal memo from Chilean construction company Workmate described the worker as a crane operator at Escondida.
