The New Cornelia open-pit copper mine has a rich history in the mining industry of the southwestern United States. The New Cornelia Mine traces its roots back to 1909 when a geologist named John Boddie identified significant copper deposits in the Ajo, Arizona area. The New Cornelia Copper Company was formed in 1916 to develop these deposits, and mining operations began in earnest. Over the ensuing decades, the New Cornelia Mine underwent significant expansion as demand for copper surged, particularly during periods of war and industrial growth. The mine's open-pit operation became one of the largest of its kind in the United States, producing vast quantities of copper ore. By the latter half of the 20th century, the New Cornelia Mine faced challenges including declining ore grades, increasing operating costs, and environmental regulations. In 1983, the mine owners announced the closure of the mine due to these factors, marking the end of an era for one of Arizona's most significant copper producers. While the New Cornelia Mine is no longer operational, its legacy continues to be felt in the area, both in terms of its historical significance and the ongoing efforts to address the environmental legacy of mining activities. This scene of the mine was photographed from the Ajo Scenic Loop near Ajo, Arizona, USA.
