Description
The historic United Verde Copper Mine in Jerome, Arizona, produced some of the richest copper ore ever mined in the U.S. The mine is closed now. Its 20-million-ton slag pile in Clarkdale still contains about half an ounce of gold per ton plus silver, copper, zinc and a ferro silicate. The slag was retained by a corrugated wall while it cooled and solidified. That wall has rusted and collapsed.
