New Mineral Mohawkite Found in Michigan Copper Mine
A new mineral named mohawkite, an arsenide of copper with nickel and cobalt, has been found in the Mohawk copper mine in Keweenaw County Michigan. Dr George A Koenig of the Michigan College of Mines identifies it as a copper nickel cobalt arsenide with minimal waste and high commercial potential for alloys. The discovery, from a fissure vein, suggests significant value tied to nickel and copper markets led by the American Nickel Company of Cleveland.
