Mineral Resources Writing

I picked Morenci Mine as my topic. If there’s something else you’d prefer to write about, let me know, but I think your best bet is to stick with Morenci Mine since I’ve started the outline for you and picked out some sources already. Here are some notes my professor left on my outline: (for paragraph A) “Get USGS documentation on this mining district or the geology of this deposit.” (for paragraph B) “What do they do with the tailings? Costs to build and operate? Fluctuation of market for metals extracted?” (for paragraph C) “What are the main environmental impacts? Habitat, groundwater, surface water, emissions, see AZDEQ permits or fines.” (for paragraph D) “Who are the other stakeholders? State of AZ, nearby towns, employees, environmentalists?” (for paragraph E) “Do they pay royalties? Taxes? Was this built from public lands under the General Mining Act of 1872?”
