The Robinson Mine is a wholly owned operation located approximately 13 kilometres west of Ely, in the semi-arid climate of White Pine Country, Nevada. The site can be accessed via a public paved road that connects to US Highway 50, west of Ely, Nevada. Copper-gold concentrates produced at Robinson are transported by truck from the mine site to East Wendover, Utah, where rail trans-loading is undertaken. 
 
The concentrate is then railed to port facilities for sea transport. The mine employs almost 600 people. With a history of more than 100 years of production, this mine produced 95 million pounds of copper and 30,000 ounces of gold in 2011.

KGHM International and the Environment:
• KGHM International employs “mining for closure” practices at the Robinson mine which means we use modern day mining practices to close historic mining facilities in an environmentally sound manner.
• We are utilizing water and binding agents to spray the roads to keep dust to a minimum.
• KGHM International monitors air quality, groundwater and surface water to ensure our mining activities not only meet environmental standards, but also do not impact the neighbouring communities of Ruth and Ely.

KGHM International in the Community:
Robinson has been and continues to be actively engaged in the local communities in a variety of ways, including:
• Assisting the City of Ely with improvements to its drinking water and storm drainage systems. As part of this program, we have drilled four new wells in the last three years to supplement the City of Ely’s water systems.
• Partnering with the community of Ruth to install a new basketball court and swings in one of the local parks. In addition, we are raising money for community athletic programs such as the Summer Basketball Program, supporting high school track and cheer teams and hosting a regular barbeque to raise money for local non-profit organizations and clubs.
• We support the American Cancer Society.
• Our employees are also involved in the community. We have “adopted” a four mile stretch of highway between Ely and the nearby town of Ruth and are regularly removing garbage and debris.
