The Rio Tinto Mine is a former copper mine located approximately 2.5 miles south of
Mountain City, in northern Elko County, Nevada. Underground mining occurred between 1932
and 1947. Starting in approximately 1965, there were a number of operations at the site that
involved the re-working of the tailings material in the upper Mill Creek Valley, leaching
stockpiles of ore, leaching the underground workings, and exploration for additional mineral
deposits. No significant mining related activities have occurred at the site since the late 1970s.
