Deposit Type

  • Porphyry


Summary:

The Bagdad mine is a porphyry copper deposit containing both sulfide and oxide mineralization. Chalcopyrite and molybdenite are the dominant primary sulfides and are the primary economic minerals in the mine. Chalcocite is the most common secondary copper sulfide mineral, and the predominant oxide copper minerals are chrysocolla, malachite and azurite.


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Bagdad mine is an open-pit copper and molybdenum mining complex that has been in continuous operations since 1945 and prior mining was conducted through underground workings.

Copper ore bearing rock is drilled, blasted in the open pit, and then transported by haul trucks to heap leach pads and overburden deposition areas.

The available mining fleet consists of thirty-four 235-metric-ton haul trucks loaded by eight electric shovels with bucket sizes ranging from 30 to 48 cubic meters, which are capable of moving an average of 236,000 metric tons of material per day.

Bagdad is located in a desert environment with rainfall averaging 15 inches per year. The highest bench elevation is 1,250 meters above sea level and the ultimate pit bottom is expected to be 120 meters above sea level.
