After over a decade, the path forward for Resolution Copper and the benefits it will bring are clear. The critics had their say — in federal permitting, in courtrooms, in Congress, and in the press — and lost at every turn. Now comes the important part for Superior, Arizona, our state’s economy, and our country’s future.
Learn how Resolution Copper is advancing environmental stewardship through land reclamation, responsible mine planning, and community partnership.
Across Arizona, students explored future careers, volunteers served neighbors in need, families gathered at community events, and local partnerships continued creating real impact.
A new Potable Water Recycling System is now operating on site, reducing water use by an estimated one million gallons per year. The system captures clean analyzer water and returns it to the plant for reuse, replacing water that was previously discharged onto the ground.
Together alongside local partners, we invested over 4.5 million dollars to support students, families, communities, small businesses, and the places we all care about in the Copper Triangle region. The year was full of real moments that changed lives in quiet, meaningful ways. A robotics team getting their first competition kit. Families picking up holiday meals with dignity and relief. Teachers gain new tools for hands-on learning
On November 14, we joined the White Mountain Apache Tribe to celebrate the start of a project that came straight from community voices. WMAT leaders asked for more spaces where kids could safely play outside. We listened. Together we built a plan to rehabilitate three basketball courts. One in East Fork and two in Cibecue.
In August, our underground team had anything but a typical day. While working in the 10 Hoist House, they spotted something unexpected, a baby coatimundi, curled up and clearly in distress. She was tiny, dehydrated, and very lost.
Resolution Copper welcomes today’s republication of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)—a positive step forward for the project. This republication allows the USFS to advance the congressionally mandated land exchange, enabling future underground mine development and placing thousands of acres of land into permanent conservation.
