 Kennecott Copper Mine is an open-pit mining operation extracting a large porphyry copper deposit southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah in the Oquirrh Mountains. The mine is the largest man-made excavation in the world and is considered to have produced more copper than any other mine in history – more than 19 million tons.
