[PAR] [TLE] Bingham Canyon Mine [SEP] The Bingham Canyon Mine, more commonly known as Kennecott Copper Mine among locals, is an open-pit mining operation extracting a large porphyry copper deposit southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, in the Oquirrh Mountains.  The mine is the largest man-made excavation in the world and is considered to have produced more copper than any other mine in history – more than 19 million tonnes.  The mine is owned by Rio Tinto Group, a British-Australian multinational corporation.  The copper operations at Bingham Canyon Mine are managed through Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation which operates the mine, a concentrator plant, a smelter, and a refinery.  The mine has been in production since 1906, and has resulted in the creation of a pit over 0.6 mi deep, 2.5 mi wide, and covering 1,900 acre .  It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 under the name Bingham Canyon Open Pit Copper Mine.  The mine experienced a massive landslide in April 2013 and a smaller slide in September 2013.
