		Anaconda said the loss, which is a huge blowout from the previous year's $83.3 million loss, came after the company wrote down the carrying value of its $1 billion Murrin Murrin nickel mine to reflect a more realistic number.
		Anaconda has already secured the support of 50 per cent of its bondholders to be released from its secured debt in return for a payment of $US190 million, or just 25.6c in the dollar.
		The seriousness of Anaconda's situation was also highlighted by the fact that in addition to its $919 million net loss for the June 30 year, the company has a working capital deficiency of $826.5 million along with a $413.6 million deficiency of shareholder funds.

	Montana Mining Properties - Butte Mining District History
		The Green Mountain mine, located between the Mountain Consolidated (Mountain Con) mine and the Bell-Diamond along the brow of the Butte hill in Centerville, became a property of ACM in 1889 and during its first year of operation reached a depth of 400 feet.
		The Orphan Girl mine was a major silver and zinc producer in Butte from the late 1880s until 1956 when it was finally closed by the ACM Co. The mine derived its name from its isolation from the other major mining properties in Butte.
		In 1916 the mine was acquired by the ACM Co. and a rich vein of zinc/silver/lead ore was discovered.

		The major coal mines, located in south central Montana, are surface strip-mining operations that produce low-sulfur coal used for coal-fired electricity generation, especially in states in the Midwest.
		Due to the proximity of natural resources such as water and timber and the availability of inexpensive labor, the Anaconda Mine soon became one of the leading copper producers in the country.
		As the importance of mining to the state’s economy declined in the 1980s, the importance of the tourism industry increased.

	Montana DEQ - Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex Site Accomplishments Page
		The Upper Blackfoot Mining Complex (also known as the Heddleston district), 15 miles east of Lincoln, is an inactive mining district, greater than 50 acres in size, which was mined intermittently from 1889 to the 1950s and explored intermittently through the 1980s.
		The main workings in the district are the Mike Horse Mine, which was a major contributor to surface water contamination; the Anaconda, Carbonate, Edith, Mary P and Paymaster mines; and a tailings impoundment on Beartrap Creek.
		The mining district is located in a fairly remote area on and near national forest land which is used by hunters and other recreationists.

		Earle Dixon, a BLM environmental protection specialist, said there's not enough data to determine if there is "a direct cause and effect relationship between the mine and the wells." But he said the reading of 108 micrograms was a concern and reason to do more testing.

		At some point, the liner within the pond in question developed a leak and was later found to be depositing contaminants, such as uranium, into the surrounding sediment and a nearby lift station.
		Sickles said the Anaconda operation utilized pumps to force water and solutions from the north to the south.
		To help combat the assumption that the mine site is raising the wells’ uranium levels, Strachan noted that the Sunset Hills area is uphill from the mine and therefore is more than likely not receiving its water flow.

	LEVIATHAN MINE
		Description: Leviathan Mine is an abandoned open-pit sulfur mine high on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, in Alpine County CA.
		During this period, Anaconda used Leviathan Mine as a source of sulfur to dissolve copper from relatively low-grade ore at a mine near Yerington, NV.
		This acid mine drainage then flows into the creek system at a number of points, devastating aquatic life until the creeks join the East Fork of the Carson River, a much larger flow.

	High Country News -- December 20, 2004: Nevada BLM cleans out cleanup project manager
		Earle Dixon, with the Anaconda mine pit in the background, says he was fired for trying to enforce the law.
		As the BLM’s remedial project manager for the Yerington Mine site, Dixon was hired to clean the site according to laws such as the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act, while at the same time protecting the health and safety of cleanup workers.
		But, in his opinion, the problems at Yerington — the mining company’s attempts to avoid responsibility, the state’s efforts to protect the company instead of the community, and the unwillingness of a federal agency to uphold federal laws — are not limited to one mine site.

	EPA Expects Benefits from Mine Waste Treatment in Butte/Anaconda Area
		After recent laboratory studies by Bill Inskeep, a Montana State University-Bozeman soil scientist, showed that liming mine tailings increases arsenic's mobility in bare wastes, people called agencies involved to say they were concerned about plans to further amend mine-impacted soils in the area, says Dennis Neuman, one of the MSU-Bozeman land reclamation researchers.
		Wind blowing the old mining deposits or rain washing them into creeks present health and environmental hazards if nothing is done.
		Whether some arsenic becomes mobile after liming depends on characteristics of the mine wastes and what forms of soil arsenic are present.
