ArmInfo. The symbol of America, the Statue of Liberty, is made of
Armenian copper.
Serob Ter-Pogosian, the president of Metal Prince, a US company owning
Akhtala Ore Mining and Processing Works, has documentary proofs that
the Statue of Liberty - built in France and granted to the United
States - was made of copper exracted from Akhtala deposit in Lori
region of Armenia. In the 1880s the father of the president of France
Charles de Gaulle, Henry de Gaulle, managed the prospecting activities
in Akhtala, which then was under concession of a French company. At
that time the whole copper mined in Akhtala was taken to France.
225 tons of copper was spent on the construction of the statue. It
was officially inaugurated by President Cleveland on Oct 28 1886.
