LAKE CITY (AP) — The chief executive of a major U.S. copper mine hopes
to recover quickly from a landslide that piled waste rock inside the pit
near Salt Lake City.
Kennecott Utah Copper chief Kelly Sanders says the company might be able to resume limited ore digging within days, but the cleanup will take months.
The company says it will run out of copper for customers in the months ahead.
Copper, of course, is used in making brass for ammunition casings.
As the price of copper rises, there may well be more "mining" of wiring from abandoned houses...
