Is there new life for Kidd Mine?
Kidd was first put into production as an open pit in 1966 with an estimate of producing 25 million tonnes of ore. The most recent figures indicate the mine has produced far beyond that, with more than 150 million tonnes of copper and zinc ore, according to Ryan Roberts, Kidd Mine operations manager, speaking at the early June mining show.
