The company reported that 102 million tons of ore and waste were handled at the mine in 1962, compared to the old record of 98,960,411 tons moved in 1961. Of the 102 million tons, 73 million was waste, also a new record for a single year. The previous waste record of 71,108,020 was set in 1961. The 29 million tons of ore handled in 1962 is not a new mark. That was set in 1943, when 35 million tons of ore was removed from the mine. The 102 million tons would make up a railroad train 7,045 miles long, reaching from New York to San Francisco and back again. |
