Anaconda Mine Reworks Gear for Greater Butte Project
The famed Anaconda mine, once a silver and copper giant and namesake of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, will lose surface structures as it joins the Greater Butte Project. Surface headframes are being dismantled, outbuildings removed, and the Belmont shaft will supply ore while a new block-caving system advances. The old surface yard houses remain briefly, but the plan is to clear the site, with the Kelley mine area to receive a new warehouse in about three months.">
