Equipment must be big to handle hundreds of thousands of tons of ore and overburden every operating day. Now that Kennecotts expansion program to increase copper production is under way, new, larger members are joining the team. They are huge, n capacity diesel trucks . . . the largest Kennecott has ever used in Utah. These mechanical giants will be a more efficient replacement for the existing railroad system that hauls overburden from the Bingham Canyon Mine. Trucks cost about $100,000 each. The fleet of 85 that will be in service at the mine represents an investment of $8,500,000. And thats just one part of Kennecotts total investment of dollars to increase copper 65-to- 100-milli- on production. This huge investment will make the copper production team stronger than ever. It will produce dividends for Utahs growing economy from Kennecotts payrolls, supply purchases and tax payments. C ESesmecoit Copper oxpoxaSion Utah Copper Division |
