👉 The Copper Project is a major copper mining and smelting operation located in the western United States, primarily in Nevada and California. It began operations in 1885 and has since become one of the largest copper producers in the world, known for its high-quality ore and advanced extraction technologies. The project spans over 1,000 acres and employs a combination of open-pit and underground mining methods to extract copper from the nearby Copper Mountains. The copper produced is crucial for various industries, including electronics, automotive, and construction, contributing significantly to the global supply chain. The Copper Project also includes a large smelting facility that refines the extracted copper into pure metal, supporting both domestic and international markets.
