While the slides were not quakes, they were measured by seismic scales as having ...

Bingham Canyon mine extracts copper, and other associated ores, from the high grade Bingham Stock deposit. 40 million years ago, as tectonic forces were building the Oquirrhs, a plume of molten rock forced its way upwards to "intrude" the overlying sedimentary rock. This is referred to an igneous pluton or a "stock".
