Bunker Hill Mine and Smelting Complex, Mining and smelting complex in Kellogg, Idaho, United States.
The Bunker Hill facility includes extensive underground tunnels, processing buildings, and a smelter for extracting silver, lead, and zinc from raw ore deposits.
Established in 1885 when Phillip O'Rourke filed the initial mining claim, the complex developed into the largest smelting operation in the world during its peak.
The mining complex influenced the development of Kellogg and surrounding communities, drawing thousands of workers who shaped the Silver Valley's industrial identity.
Environmental Protection Agency conducts regular monitoring and cleanup activities at the site, implementing measures to address contamination from previous mining operations.
The facility processed over 35 different types of metals throughout its operational history, establishing specialized techniques for extracting minerals from complex ore deposits.
