Apex Mine Reclamation Apex Mine is located 14 miles west of St. George. Property consists of 24 patented mining claims and 9 unpatented mining claims covering 619 acres. Germanium, gallium, and copper deposit found near the contact of the Pennsylvanian Callville Limestone and overlying Permian Pakoon Dolomite Copper mined from 1872 until the 1940s. In 1985 Apex became the world’s first primary producer of germanium and gallium, producing until 1987. Teck, and a joint venture partner Penarroya, purchased the property in 1996. Dol

Apex Mine Reclamation In 2002, Teck inventoried dangerous mine features including stopes, adits and shafts. In 2003 and 2008, bat gates and grates, foam closures, and fences were installed to address public safety concerns. Increasing vandalism/trespassing by mineral collectors prompted Teck to begin planning for further reclamation. In 2011, Teck initiated a reclamation program that included: Demolishing and removing site equipment and infrastructure Re-grading and contouring the former mine pad, dump, and roads Annual inspections observed areas of poor re-vegetation; initiated additional seeding in 2014. Operation and maintenance activities are conducted as needed.
