Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine has produced more copper than any mine in history - about 18.7 million tons. The mine is 2-3/4 miles across at the top and 3/4 of a mile deep. The elevation of the Bingham Canyon Mine drops from 8,040 feet above sea level to 4,390 feet above sea level. The Visitors Center is located at 6,440 feet above sea level. It takes about 15 different minerals to make a car ... 35 different minerals to make a television ... 30 minerals to make a computer ... and as many as 42 different minerals to make a telephone.
