ASARCO Mineral Discovery Center and Mine Tour 11/15/2024

Cost: Seniors over 62: $14 

Since opening its doors in 1997, the ASARCO Mineral Discovery Center and Mine Tour has aimed to enlighten communities about the crucial role of the copper mining industry in our civilization, provide education in earth sciences to students and teachers, and conserve the mining heritage of Arizona.

Copper is fundamental to our modern society. It is a key metal utilized in hospitals, for the electricity in our homes, the tools that harvest our food, and the vehicles that fuel our adventures. Here's an interesting tidbit: Copper is also an element naturally present in our bodies, aiding in the production of red blood cells and maintaining a healthy immune system.
