For some of these elements, copper mining complements the production infrastructure of the by-product (e.g. gold, silver, lead, zinc or molybdenum). Other minor metals have limited or no own production infrastructure (e.g. selenium or tellurium). Hereby a list of commonly found by-metals in copper mining with a few of their applications:
The mine is expected to produce 220,000t of copper, 11,000t of molybdenum and 2t of gold annually during its 23-year mine life, based on the current reserves. Acquired from Quadra FNX, the mine is a joint venture between KGHM (55%), Sumitomo Metal Mining (31.5%), and Sumitomo (13.5%).

Utah's most valuable metals in decreasing order of importance are copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, lead, iron, zinc, uranium, beryllium, vanadium, manganese, and tungsten. Utah Mining Summary The Bingham mining district in the Oquirrh Mountains of southwestern Salt Lake County is, by far, Utah's most significant mining district.
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity and as a building material.
In North America, FCX operates seven open-pit copper mines — Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico; and two molybdenum mines — Henderson and Climax in Colorado.
