which US state mines the most copper?

Arizona.  There are open-pit mines all over the state.  These things are huge!  There's the Ray/Hayden complex north of Tucson, the Mission, San Xavier and Eisenhour pits south of Tucson and other places in the state.  Probably the most productive mine in the history of the US is the Bingham Canyon copper mine in Utah.

The Blue Dick Mine is in Nevada, near Lida.\n\nNot sure I ever heard of the Able Mable Mine.

If you might want to go to Germany, the biggest and more or less monopolist company in coal mining has its headquarters in the city of Essen. Name of the company is Ruhrkohle AG.\n\nThey for sure have activities also in the USA. I recommend to contact them by internet and find out if they offer some type of exchange program for employees or students between their operations in different countries.

Alaska.\n\n"The state with the most lakes is Alaska and not Minnesota despite the "10,000 Lakes" slogan on its license plates. Alaska is home to more than three million lakes."

I live in Ohio and belong to the Gold Prospectors Association of America(GPAA). We have a very active local and regularly meet at our claims for common digging operations, sharing information and generally having a good time.

California by far has the most, with 86,846 as of the beginning of this year. Texas follows after with 44,336. However, Alaska has the highest per capita with 4,219 or 0.64%, followed by Oregon with 17,160 at 0.47%. California ranks 12th per capita at 0.24%.

Which minerals are you interested in? You need to be far more specific in framing your question.\n\nAccording to the link, the state of Nebraska has the fewest mineral deposits/producers associated with it.

Copper is a tricky one, as there appears to be true demand from China and not that many new ways of digging up significantly more ore.  It might be that people who rely on copper decide to find ways to get around using copper.  Maybe aluminum cable instead?\n\nIn the case of zinc, there is a special price level maybe 10% or so above where it is now, where it is worth melting US pennies (which are 97.5% zinc).  At this price the zinc and copper in pennies becomes worth more than one cent per penny, plus the energy needed to melt it down.  There will then be a huge amount of illegal melting of pennies and demand will be satisfied for awhile.\n\nIn summary I think copper might be higher, but there is a lot of uncertainty due to the various things that could happen, such as a decrease in copper demand.  And zinc price could be limited by penny melting.  I wouldn't invest much in this area personally.

There are many mines operating throughout the U.S.A. Many are small mom and pop placer mining operations while others are corporate owned. Alaska, California, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Montana, and Colorado all have working gold mines. Visit www.goldprospectors.org, that's the Gold Prospectors Association of America website. You will find lots of info on mining and prospecting there as well as links to many other mining websites.

Here's what some folks on miningold.com said:\n\n"From Rick A Loveless\nThere are gold occurrences in Macon, Adair, Livingston, Linn, Putman, Randolph and Schuyler counties. A result of glacial deposits. Fine gold and grain sized nuggets reported from Murry Gulch, northeast of Elmer and Sand Creek in Macon County. Pannable gold has been found all along the Chariton River and its tributaries in Macon, Adair and Schuyler counties. My very first attempt at recreational prospecting was a couple hours in a very small stream somewhere south of Elmer, got 6 or 7 specks of fine gold. More info can be had by calling Ceder Creek Ranger District Route 4 Box 4023 Fulton MO 65251, (314) 642-6726\n\nFrom Jordan M. Humphreys\nI have found very fine glacial gold in Sand Creek just NE of Elmer, MO.; in the Salt River north of Mexico, Missouri; and in Cedar Creek just east of Englewood, Missouri.\n\nI'm fairly certain most creeks and rivers in North Central Missouri carry some gold. Its all just specks and in small quantities...but it sure is pretty in your pan!"\n\nThanks for asking this question -- I've lived in Missouri all my life, and went to college in Adair County and had never heard of this (not even while slinging beers at a townie bar in Kirksville during my senior year!)

Denver, Colorado   there are two mints in the US for legal tender.  Denver and Philadelphia.    all those coins by the "franklin mint" are worthless as money.

Most territory that's not covered by a city would be Alaska.  Interesting, Nevada looks to have the highest percentage of non-improved land.
