Nevada slips in global gold output; State still leads nation, but now ranks sixth in world

摘要

Copper production last year was reported to be 66 kt (145.7 million Jbs) from two Nevada mines, down from 79.6 kt (175.5 million lbs) in 2008. "Because of renewed production at Quadra Mining's Robinson Mine near Ely and Newmont's Phoenix Mine near Battle Mountain, copper production is once again a significant contributor to minerals industry output," Dobra observed.
