this is the Kennecott Mine out of Bingham Canyon. I have movies and more pictures on the video. It's really quite the site. The Bingham Canyon Mine accounts for all the molybdenum and silver produced in Utah and nearly all the copper and gold. Last year, it yielded 233,000 tons of copper, worth about $3 per pound, or nearly $1.4 billion, according to the Utah Geological Survey.
