Copper Mining
The article says "Over a billion tons of copper were extracted from the mine" but there is no reference, and I believe it is a mistake. I think a billion tons of copper is actually more copper than has been mined in all the history of the world. The article on the Lavender Pit says 86 million tons of copper ore were produced from it, ending up as about 600,000 tons of copper after refining. The article on Copper mining in Arizona says the Warren mining district, including this and various other mines in the area produced 3.59 million metric tons of copper. Perhaps someone who knows where to find accurate copper mining records could set this straight.
