Students from Jose Barrios Elementary School recently took a field trip to the Tyrone Mine where they were able to tour the pit. Students had the opportunity to view diagrams of the mining process and how mining impacts the local economy. They also were able to help identify everyday items that they use to see if they contained copper and observed leach fields and discussed the use of radar in mine safety. To end the trip, students viewed a reclamation site and surveyed an area for plants and animal trace evidence to determine recovery of the environment.
