Rio Tinto Kennecott

At Rio Tinto Kennecott, we mine essential elements that make modern living possible. Our products are used in cell phones, computers and hybrid electric cars. Nearly everything used today relies on materials we produce. 

Our Bingham Canyon mine has been a fixture in the Salt Lake Valley for more than 119 years. You may be surprised to know that we are the largest private economic driver in Utah. No other private sector operation has generated more production, exports, income and employment than Kennecott. As such, we take our responsibility to be a strong community partner.
