Image?

The image reading: "ASARCO Mission Mine" is of an artifact; an ancient lift for old fashioned deep mines. It does not represent modern open-pit mining, used exclusively by ASARCO and most others since 1957. The picture of the Garfield, Utah mine is much more representative of it. I have, and can get, better images of the exterior and interior of the modern mine.68.231.184.217 (talk) 21:00, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ASARCO → Asarco – Common name. The first 20 Google News results use "Asarco" except for these: [1] [2] [3] Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 22:49, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support, WP:CAPS and the WP:MOSTM also support this move.--70.49.82.84 (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Superfund Sites

Article currently mentions 20 superfund sites and then lists 10 of them. As noted at the EPA site there are actually 26. In particular no mention is made of the five sites in Missouri, for which the settlements totaled $63M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.128.122.44 (talk) 00:02, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd propose changing the introductory paragraph to read "... over 20 superfund sites .... These include:" followed by the current list of 10. Msramming (talk) 20:10, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Environmental section suggesting an author bias?

On 9 April 2019 several changes were made to this page from IP Address: 2600:6C64:7980:485:12:8886:FBCE:F201 to "more accurately describe ASARCO." With this change included several references of environmental, health and litigation issues added to several lines in the opening statements of this article.

While I believe it is important, especially with the pollution causing industries to report on the environmental issues; the tone of voice in this update comes across very charged and tries to paint ASARCO as if it was in the business of creating environmental disaster. I will try and update the article to reflect a more neutral tone, and recommend keeping an eye out against such emotionally charged writing in the future. Furthermore, the section improperly cited an Amazon.com page for a book, rather than citing the book itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xboxtravis7992 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Corpus Christi and Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mex

I have seen no reference to the plants in Corpus Christi, Texas and Neuva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico. Both of these plants were enormous and were major polluters in there respective areas. 2001:5B0:4DC8:C998:B80A:F904:C0BB:8E52 (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
