Montana Mines Boost Output Value Across Metals
The report notes a dramatic rise in the value and output of gold silver copper lead and zinc from Montana mines. Despite higher quantities the value surge is driven by stronger base metal prices and expanded production at mines such as Kendal Barnes King Plegan Gloster Law Fay Porphyry Dyke and North Butte. Copper output rose from 253 220 049 to about 275 000 pounds while lead and zinc shipments increased notably, though gold and silver profits varied with market prices. The Anaconda Copper company expanded into zinc with an electrolytic plant, and major producers included Butte Superior Elm Ora and several new or acquired properties.
