Six Greatest Mines Selectable as World Leaders
A query on the six greatest mining enterprises yields a list from Engineering and Mining Journal Press. The Utah Copper Co in Bing ham Canyon Utah a vast copper mine uses steam shovels and remains highly productive despite ore grades below 25 pounds per ton. The Chile Copper Co at Chuquicamata Chile employs leaching on a large low grade ore body. Sulphur mining in Louisiana uses the Frasch process to melt and lift sulfur. Eastern Rajasthan like the Me sabi range iron mines run open pit operations moving vast material. Union Miniere du Haut Katanga in Africa faces many difficulties yet develops rich copper deposits. The Rand gold mines of South Africa work at 5000 to 7000 feet depths with challenging labor and metallurgy.
