A former large output surface Cu-Au-Ag-Zn-Gemstone mine located in the SW¼ sec 10, NW¼NW¼ sec. 15, T23S, R24E, G&SRM, NW edge of Lowell, on private land. Produced 1954-1974. Owned by the Phelps Dodge Corporation.
The Lavender Pit is a former open pit copper mine near the famous Copper Queen Mine. The Lavender Pit was named in honour of Harrison M. Lavender (1890-1952). As Vice-President and General Manager of Phelps Dodge Corporation, he conceived and carried out this plan for making the previously unprofitable low-grade copper-bearing rock of the area into commercial copper ore. Phelps Dodge Corporation opened the Lavender Pit in 1950, at the site of the earlier, higher-grade Sacramento Hill mine. Production through 1974 totalled 86 million tons of ore averaging about 0.7% copper, or about 600,000 tons of copper produced, with gold and silver as by-products. About 256 million tons of waste were stripped, but a portion of this was acid-leached for additional copper. Turquoise was also a by-product of this mining activity. Bisbee turquoise, also known as Bisbee Blue, is amongst the finest turquoise found anywhere in the world. Mining operations in the pit ended in 1974. The undeveloped Cochise deposit, located immediately north of the Lavender pit, contains an estimated 190 million tons of rock containing 0.4% acid-soluble copper, which may be mined in the future. Because of the competent host rock, this pit has much steeper sides than other open-pit copper mines in the southwest area. The pit covers an area of 300 acres (1.2 km?) and is 900 feet (ca. 274 m) deep. Large tonnages of dump rock are placed around Bisbee, notably north of the residential district of Warren and other parts of the southeastern Mule Mountains area.
Mineralization is a porphyry Cu-Zn deposit with a blanket orebody of low-grade, disseminated chalcocite with local spots of other copper and zinc sulfides in a brecciated intrusive porphyry plug adjoining altered Paleozoic limestones along the Dividend fault. The deposit is hosted in the Jurassic Sacramento Hill Stock granite (170.5 ma) ± 7.5). Ore concentration was bornite replacing pyrite. An associated rock unit is the Sacramento Hill Stock. Low-grade copper ores. The turquoise was a hard, deep blue, sometimes found in a matrix of hard red mineral (cuprite?).
Local structures include pre-mineralization faulting and tilting. The main fault directions are N10W to N40E and S30W to N50W. The Dividend Fault "horsetails", its strike is N20E and it dips S70. Displacement along the fault is about 500 feet (ca. 152 m). This fault separates the Sacramento/Lavender pit and the extension to the east (Cochise project).
Workings are a huge open pit 914.4 meters long (1,219.2 meters overall length) by 457.2 meters wide and over 750 feet (ca. 229 m) deep (more than 15, 50-foot-high benches). Some 75 million tons of ore were produced from 1954 to 1970.
The current highway follows the Dividend Fault. Large bulk mineable, low-grade porphyry copper ore. There is substantial supergene groundwater enrichment at the base of the leach cap. There is a substantial reserve of Cu ore. The chalcocite blanket was nearly mined out, but recent exploration (1989-1991) has identified several high-grade polymetallic targets in the Mississippian limestone. Future open-pit mining would use electrowinning solution leach processing methods.
