Climax mine closer to opening


Final work at the Climax Molybdenum Mine at the top of Fremont Pass is still happening, but is not clear when market prices for the metal will make reopening the mine feasible.
According to a press release from Freeport McMoRan — the global mining company that owns Climax — recent activities at the mine include “completion of concrete foundations for various equipment installations and commencement of the ball mill shell assembly.”
