FY2024 Directory of Active Mines in Arizona

Plonka, Zoey C.; Richardson, Carson A.

The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

dc.description	The purpose of this report is to support governmental entities undertaking planning decisions by providing on mineral resources and active mining operations that are essential to infrastructure development. For the purpose of this directory, an active mine is defined as a mine in continuous operation, either in production or under full-time development for production. It is acknowledged that there are additional mines not listed that are in an exploration, evaluation, or part-time development phase. Other mines where production is intermittent are not listed. The directory is compiled from a much larger database from the Arizona State Mine Inspector’s Office. Staff and budget restrictions prevent the Arizona Geological Survey from visiting the operations listed. The locations were checked using available aerial imagery to confirm location information and mining activity, with two caveats: 1) resolution of imagery varies across the state to some degree, making it difficult to recognize activity; and 2) some areas lack recent imagery, leading to the impression of no recent operations. This work fulfills amended sections 9-461.05, 11-804, and 27-106 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, having went into effect on August 13, 2019 following Governor Ducey signing H.B. 2453 into law on May 13, 2019.	en_US
