The Bingham Canyon Mine, also known as the Kennecott Copper Mine, is one of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world. Located in Utah, USA, it has been in operation since 1906 and is known for its significant copper production, along with gold, silver, and molybdenum. The mine is approximately 2.5 miles wide and 0.75 miles deep, making it a remarkable engineering feat. The mine is operated by Kennecott Utah Copper, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. It plays a crucial role in the global copper supply chain and has contributed to the local economy through job creation and infrastructure development. The Bingham Canyon Mine is also a site of ongoing environmental management efforts to minimize its impact on the surrounding area.
