Kennecott Copper Mine

November 12, 2023 Larry Moore

I remember going to the Kennecott Copper Mine with Aunt Cindy one time when I was a kid. The vast scale of the operation made an impression on me. I remember that we saw a blasting while we were there too. We had an open day here, so we so we decided to make a trip out to the mine and see it with our family. It was really interesting to learn more about the big slide from 2013. And the vast size is just as impressive as an adult as when I was a kid.

We totally lucked out and were there for a blast. Very impressive to watch.

Everything is so large. It warps your sense of scale when you’re looking at the equipment moving in the distance.

I would definitely recommend checking it out. It was well worth the effort to see. If you want to learn more of the details and the rest of the mining process, they have a really great interactive tour you can see here: https://www.youvisit.com/tour/riotinto
