Bingham Canyon Reclamation Project
The Bingham Canyon Reclamation Project, in Utah, was a 1973 site-specific mine reclamation design that artist Robert Smithson submitted to the mine's management company, Kennecott Copper Corporation. The design re-imagined Bingham Canyon Mine, the world's largest open pit mine, as a monumental work of land art.
==The mine's beginnings==
Sixty million years ago, a gigantic explosion from within the earth blasted through the area's sedimentary layers to the surface. The incoming flow of lava filled the cracks and fissures in the stone and formed into a plug of molten rock. Beginning in 1848, the resultant metallic veins were mined for gold, silver, copper,and molybdenite.
Investments in the mine by the Guggenheim family contributed to the early growth of the mine. The town of Bingham, Utah was eventually swallowed by the expanding man-made chasm, which would come to be known as "The Richest Hole on Earth" and the largest man-made excavation in the world. The mine was active when Smithson submitted his reclamation design and it remains so today.
