Mina La Escondida


Recently replaced Chuquicamata as the largest copper mine in the world. 170 km SE of Antofagasta.

A 'super giant' copper deposit.
NOTE: Lecontite, salammonic and blödite sold as coming from "A small pond approximately 2.7 km from the workings" at the "Coronel Manuel Rodriguez Mine" are actually anthropogenic compounds from a tailings pond at the Escondida mine, see https://www.mindat.org/mesg-105-464001.html

The location page for the tailings pond is: https://www.mindat.org/loc-311511.html
