Where you'll be working

Our Kennecott mine is a world-class, fully integrated copper mining operation, including a concentrator, smelter and refinery, located just outside Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. We produce copper, precious metals including gold and silver, molybdenum and sulfuric acid. Kennecott has been mining and processing minerals from the rich ore body of the Bingham Canyon Mine since 1903 and is one of the top producing mines in the world, comprising approximately 11 percent of U.S. annual copper production.

The Underground Characterization (UGC) project at Rio Tinto Kennecott is a component of the larger Integrated Skarns Project (ISP) and is intended to collect geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological data from the North Rim Skarn (NRS) deposit beneath the Bingham Canyon open pit mine. The technical data will support the completion of a feasibility study, with the ultimate goal of moving ISP into full scale underground production. The UGC project includes lateral and vertical underground development as well as the construction of surface and underground infrastructure necessary to support the project.
