Oracle Mining Corp. (fka OMCCF)

The San Manuel Copper Mine purchased in 1996 by BPH was the largest underground mine in the world and was closed in 1999.
It also had an open pit. The mine & smelter (also closed) employed 3200 workers.




The 500-foot chimneys leveled in January of 2007 were the
last highly visible remnants of San Manuel's mining past.

Since the mine closed, BHP has spent $120 million to eradicate the once-enormous copper mining and smelting operation from the landscape to satisfy state and federal environmental rules and position the town for a new beginning. BPH still owns 20,000 acres surrounding the town.

Although soaring copper prices have led to the reopening of a number of previously closed mines, it’s too late for San Manuel.
All the infrastructure’s been hauled away, and the tunnels are sealed up and flooded.

The previous owners of Oracle Ridge mine delivered the ore to San Manuel where it was processed. Oracle Mining Corp. will need to find another mining operation to process their ore.
