Breccia Pipe Mining on the Arizona Strip and in the Grand Canyon

Copper ore and breccia material at Copper Mountain Mine. The green is malachite. There is a small blue piece in the far left just below center that is another copper mineral called azurite. These can be chemically processed into copper. These were the colorful rocks that miners looked for in canyon washes to tell them a copper deposit was nearby.

2. Mining Methods

Underground mining is used when the copper ore is not near the earth's surface. Miners dig a shaft into the ore deposit vertically or a horizontal tunnel (or adit) in order to do this. Mining then follows the vein of ore and the underground mine develops. In both mining techniques, the mined ore must be removed from the mine and transported to ...
