Cyprus Minerals Company – Encyclopedia.com, 10/10/2020 – https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/cyprus-minerals-company
“Cyprus Minerals Company is the second largest U.S. copper producer, a world leader in molybdenum production, a top 20 U.S. coal producer, and the world’s leading producer of lithium. Cyprus also produces iron ore and gold. It operates in 24 states and seven countries and conducts base and precious metals exploration worldwide. The Cyprus Minerals Company first appeared in July of 1985 as a spinoff from the Amoco Corporation. The company’s history, however, dates back to 1969 when Amoco created Amoco Minerals Company to handle mineral rights. In 1979, that subsidiary’s president, Kenneth J. Barr, acquired Cyprus Mines Corporation, which then mined copper, talc, calcium carbonate, and kaolin and explored for uranium, gold, and molybdenum. Amoco kept the Cyprus name and in the early 1980s built it into a large concern that produced coal, copper, and industrial minerals.”

“Cyprus Amax Minerals was a major US-based mining company formed in 1993 through the merger of AMAX with the Cyprus Minerals Company.

It was acquired by the Phelps Dodge Corporation in 1999 … which in turn was acquired by Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) in 2007, forming the world’s largest copper producer.”

“As with a clutch of other industry-funded academics who quibble over climate change, Dr. Balling is happy to use his Ph.D. and his title to suggest expertise and to imply scientific objectivity. But readers might be better able to judge the quality of his input if they knew that he has been the eager recipient of funding from such philanthropic organizations as ExxonMobil, the British Coal Corporation, Cyprus Minerals and OPEC. Per the link above, Sourcewatch lists his take from these sources at a little over $400,000 in the last 10 years.”
