Had a friend who was looking at this as a potential job.

This is the 2nd largest mineral deposit of its type on the planet, and only slightly smaller than a similar one in Indonesia.

57 billion lb copper, 70 million oz gold, 3.4 billion lb molybdenum and 344 million oz silver; and 4.46 billion tonnes in the inferred category, containing 24.5 billion lb copper, 37 million oz gold, 2.2 billion lb molybdenum and 170 million oz silver. Quantities of palladium and rhenium also occur in the deposit.

HUGE amounts of money involved, to say nothing of the follow-on jobs potential.
