Stargo, Arizona
Stargo is the name of a housing development  in Greenlee County, Arizona, United States. It was located about two miles northwest of the present location of Morenci. Houses were built starting in the 1930s in what was known as Apache Gulch when miners came to work at the Morenci mines as Phelps Dodge started open pit operations. The name came from the silver mining company which operated in this area, Stargo Silverbelt Mining Company. Families lived here until the early 2000s. Only the upper section of Cedar Loop and Cedar Street are visible today. The area is now buried and a part of the leaching process in mining operations of Freeport-McMoRan Inc.

Open-pit mining
Open-pit mining, also known as open-cast or open-cut mining and in larger contexts mega-mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts rock or minerals from the earth.

Open-pit mines are used when deposits of commercially useful ore or rocks are found near the surface where the overburden is relatively thin. In contrast, deeper mineral deposits can be reached using underground mining.

This form of mining carries several risks to the health and safety of miners, and can have a significant negative impact on the environment.

Meta-optimization
Meta-optimization from numerical optimization is the use of one optimization method to tune another optimization method. Meta-optimization is reported to have been used as early as in the late 1970s by Mercer and Sampson for finding optimal parameter settings of a genetic algorithm.

Mathematical optimization
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization. Optimization problems arise in all quantitative disciplines from computer science and engineering to operations research and economics, and the development of solution methods has been of interest in mathematics for centuries.

In the more general approach, an optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations constitutes a large area of applied mathematics.
