Description
Almost every material used in modern civilization is derived from one of the earth's natural mineral resources. Arizona contains many ore deposits bearing copper, silver and gold and has been a leading copper-producing state since the 19th century, with large open-pit mine operations around the state that produce significant amounts of copper ore every year. Learn about the formation and properties of ore deposit minerals, mining methods and ore processing.
