Blasting at Copper King and Bingham canyon mines.

Exciting time when they Blast at the mine, the ground shakes a large piece of mountain lifts into the air then settles back down, gigantic shovels go to work filling haul trucks (once trains). From the beginning of open cut mining it been part of this hard rock excavating. Some of the pictures are from the Kennescope Magazine. Note the photo with 6 rotary drills, I do not think is Bingham.
