Rio Tinto Kennecott Copper is an integrated mining operation located outside of Salt Lake City, Utah that includes a Molybdenum Autoclave Plant (MAP). Molybdenum is a mineral that is found within copper deposits. The MAP was designed to separate the molybdenum from the copper and process it to chemical grade with high efficiency through an autoclave process. Rio stopped construction of the project in 2013. All of the equipment was purchased new and fully-installed, tested, and maintained; partially installed; or is properly stored in climate controlled facilities onsite.
