Сибай баҡыр-цинк колчеданы ятҡылығы, Copper and zinc quarry in Sibay, Russia.
The Sibay quarry forms a massive excavation site spanning 2 kilometers in diameter and reaching depths of over 500 meters underground.
The mineral deposit was discovered in 1913 when a local hunter uncovered unusual ore while digging into a marten's burrow in the southern Urals.
The quarry contributes to educational programs as mining and metallurgy students conduct research and gain practical experience at the site.
The extraction facility operates through underground mining methods, producing copper-zinc and copper-sulfur ores for the nearby Bashkir processing plant.
The quarry stands as the second deepest open-pit mine globally, with specialized equipment facilitating mineral extraction from extreme depths.
