The Mining of Henderson Molybdenum

The mining of Henderson molybdenum mine is done by block caving. In 1980 the cavity produced by the block caving broke through to the surface, producing a large glory hole on the side of Red Mountain.

The ore is carried by a 15-mile conveyor belt system through a tunnel beneath the Continental Divide to the ore processing mill near Parshall, Colorado. The ore is treated by froth flotation to obtain molybdenite concentrate, which is shipped to a plant in Fort Madison, Iowa for further processing.
