Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is "is in the United States"
"Is located" indicates the passive voice. Setting aside "located" will not change the sentence's intended meaning. "By" implies that the mine is near the United States and "through" implies that the mine covers a vast area across several states.
