Did You Know? Curious Facts: About the Resolution Project

  • If mined, we expect the Resolution Copper ore body to produce as much as 110,000 tonnes of ore per day—or one truckload every 15 seconds.
  • The Resolution Copper mine will be 7,000 feet deep. That’s equivalent to five Empire State Buildings stacked on top of one another!
  • The mine could produce up to 1.1 billion pounds of copper ore per year. That’s equivalent to a #12 copper wire stretched around the world each day of the year, plus extra to the North Pole!
