La Caridad Mine is a large open-pit copper mineinNacozari, Sonora, Mexico. It is operated by Mexicana de Cobre, S.A.,[1][2] which is a part of Grupo México, the largest copper producer in Mexico.[3][4] The mine lies approximately 8 mi (13 km) east of Nacozari de Garcia.[5]

Although the mine was worked in the 1800s, it was closed about 1948, and did not reopen until 1979.[6]

In 1985 the mine was producing over 72,000 metric tons of ore per day.[7] In addition to copper, it produced silver as a byproduct, in 1995 that amounted to over 77 tons of silver.[8] The mine was repurchased by investors from the Mexican government in 1988.[9] The mine employed approximately 3,000 workers in 2000.[10] In 2006 the mine was shut down due to labor strikes.[11]
