Arizona-Globe Copper Property
- Derived from MRDS oper_type (existing operation): Surface-Underground
- MRDS oper_type documents existing underground operation (dev_stat=Past Producer): Surface-Underground · oper_type
Verification
Multiple Sources Confirmed
Independent historical source evidence corroborates underground workings.
Why confirmed?
Confirmed by independent Arizona Geological Survey / ADMMR historical documentation describing underground workings, in addition to USGS MRDS catalog eligibility. Not a member field verification.
Why it's listed
Source records document both underground and surface mining.
