Description

The Orphan Lode Mine with headframe — on the edge of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, about 2 miles west of Grand Canyon Village, within Grand Canyon National Park.

  • A former "rich grade" Uranium ore mine productive from 1956 to 1969, and a present day highly contaminated radioactive waste site.
  • The mine was opened in 1893 by Daniel L. Hogan as copper claim, and converted to the mining of U308 in 1956 and closed in 1969.
