Mother Lode Coalition Lays Copper Under Seven Cents
New York December 19 The Mother Lode Coalition Mines Company reports a 6.87 cent per pound cost after depreciation and taxes making it the world’s lowest cost copper producer. The firm can ship copper into New York under seven cents a pound and expects output to rise about 50 percent this month. The stock nears a 1918 high and compares the Mother Lode price to Kennecott at about three to one. Kennecott gained influence when it backed the coalition in 1919, providing a $1,000,000 loan for 51 percent of shares and access to its milling and smelting facilities at cost. The contract was renewed to 1928 to treat 12,000 tons monthly, yielding 9,000,000 to 14,000,000 pounds of copper per month. Development focuses on the 1,800 foot level in Chillstone limestone beds, with production conserving resources.
