Statue of Liberty Made From Armenian Copper
YEREVAN (ArmInfo)-The Statue of Liberty is made of Armenian copper,
according to the president of a US mining company that owns the
Akhtala Ore Mining and Processing Works in Armenia.
Metal Prince President Serob Ter-Pogosian said he has documentary
proof that the statue, located on New York's Liberty Island, was
constructed from copper extract from the Akhtala deposit in Armenia's
northern region of Lori.
According to Ter-Pogosian, all the copper ore mined from Akhtala was
shipped to France in the 1880s when it was under the management of a
French company headed by Henry de Gaulle, father of former French
President Charles de Gaulle.
The statue built by the French and shipped to the US, was officially
inaugurated in 1886 by President Cleveland. 225 tons of copper was
used inconstructing the statue.
