Chile ' s textbook mine rescue brings global respect
Sebastian Pinera
President Sebastian Pinera posed with the miners  most of whom were wearing bathrobes and slippers  for a group photo  and then celebrated the rescue as an achievement that will bring Chile a new level of respect around the world.
 The miners and the country will never be the same  Pinera said.
 "They have experienced a new life  a rebirth " he said  and so has Chile: "We aren't the same that we were before the collapse on Aug. 5. Today Chile is a country much more unified  stronger and much more respected and loved in the entire world."
 Pinera  meanwhile  vowed that those responsible for the mine collapse "will not go unpunished. Those who are responsible will have to assume their responsibility."
 The rescue will end up costing "somewhere between $10 (million) and $20 million " a third covered by private donations with the rest coming from state-owned miner Codelco -- the country's largest company-- and the government itself  Pinera said.
 Golborne has won high marks for his deft management of the closely scrutinized rescue  and Chilean media have been abuzz with discussion of him as Pinera's most likely successor. Elected in December 2009 to a four-year term  Pinera is constitutionally barred from running again.
