I'm looking for information about Copper Mountain Mining, and I get a company that recently completed an independent feasibility study has confirmed the economic value to bring back into production a conventional open pit with thousands of tons per day. Mine, a former producer of just under 2 billion pounds of copper, with the current resources of five billion pounds of copper is designed to produce approximately 100 million pounds of copper per year in copper concentrate with gold and silver credits in mid-2011

When I visited this site, I get the following information:

Copper Mountain Mining Corporation ("CMMC") is a BC resource company that is developing the Copper Mountain Project located 15 kilometers south of the town of Princeton in southern British Columbia. Projects Copper Mountain Mining Corporation holds a 75% and 25% remaining by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation.

CMMC completed an independent feasibility study that confirmed the economic value of bringing back into production a conventional open pit mine with 35 000 tonnes per day plant. Mine, a former producer, with resources from the 5 billion * pounds of copper is designed to produce approximately 105 million pounds of copper in copper concentrate per year (the first 12 years) with gold and silver credits in mid-2011. Copies of the Independent Feasibility Study 43-101 Technical Report and a video presentation on the Copper Mountain Project may be found on the home page of this Copper Mountain Mining's site.

About Copper, I found a Copper Mountain keyword that does not relate directly to this copper blog, but because they still had something to do with (maybe) copper mining, then there is no harm in me lay out the source from the wikipedia article

Copper Mountain is a mountain located about 75 miles (121 km) west of Denver on Interstate 70 in Summit County, Colorado. Local feature ski slopes on the west side of the mountain beginner, intermediate slopes in the middle, and regional experts on the east side. Advanced "double black diamond" slopes are located in two peaks at 12,000 feet above

Copper and Union Peaks), including four expert-only bowls: Copper Bowl, Union Bowl, Spaulding Bowl, and Resolution Bowl. Copper Mountain Ski Resort is the largest resort in Summit County, when measured by area Although almost every lift in the copper can simply slide into from above either American Eagle or American Flyer, many foreign tourists to the resort tend to funnel into the Village Center.

Copper's bowls are comparable in difficulty famous bowls in Vail, as well as lesser-known Independence Bowl at Keystone, Breckenridge Imperial Bowl at Ski Resort, and Vasquez Cirque at Winter Park / Mary Jane.

Copper Mountain hosts the World Cup tour in 1976 with four kinds of activities: alpine skiing: slalom and giant slalom for men and women.
