Community Engagement

Superior, Arizona is more than where we work. It is our home. We strive to make the Copper Triangle a better place for all who live and work here, whether it’s supporting local businesses, giving students the tools they need to succeed or volunteering with local partners. Our goal is to foster generations of success right here.

Empowering Future Generations
A strong education is the cornerstone of lifelong success, which is why Resolution Copper has long been a supporter of the Superior Unified School District, contributing millions to initiatives including the STEM and robotics programs.

Our annual scholarship program provides vital financial assistance to local students pursuing higher education, while also encouraging exploration of career opportunities in the mining industry and related STEM fields. Since 2002, we’ve awarded over 250 scholarships, totaling more than $850,000.

At Central Arizona College, we’ve established a three-year apprenticeship program that equips students with the skills needed to safely operate and maintain on-site assets. Graduates of this program, like those from 2020, have successfully transitioned into high-demand technical roles. In 2024, we welcomed 20 new apprentices into various roles, including underground electricians, mechanics, welders, and environmental advisors.

We’re also proud to support the Superior Enterprise Center in its mission to create a sustainable workforce development program that will benefit generations to come.

Volunteering in the Community
Each year, over 100 employees dedicate thousands of hours to community service throughout the Copper Triangle, volunteering on a regular basis. Our employees are dedicated to making a difference in the community by actively volunteering their time and expertise.

Collectively, they serve on over 35 boards, commissions, and nonprofits across Arizona, contributing to causes that benefit Superior, Globe, Miami, Kearny, Hayden, Winkelman, and the surrounding areas. Through their volunteer efforts, our team helps strengthen local communities, support vital services, and create a positive impact that reaches far beyond our operations.

Supporting Causes & Organizations
We are deeply committed to supporting causes and organizations that enhance the well-being of our community. Our contributions span a wide range of initiatives, from education and workforce development to environmental stewardship and cultural preservation. We partner with local schools, provide scholarships, and offer apprenticeship programs that equip students with valuable skills for future careers. Our support for environmental organizations helps ensure the protection of natural resources, while our involvement in cultural projects preserves the rich heritage of our region. These efforts not only empower individuals but also strengthen the community as a whole, creating lasting impacts that resonate through generations.

Inside the Never Sweat Tunnel

November 3, 2025
Completed in 1973 by the Magma Copper Company, the Never Sweat Tunnel stretches 8,600 feet (1.6 miles) long and sits at a depth of 1,100 feet. At the time, it came with a hefty price tag of $74 million, but what it delivered was priceless. It created a direct underground connection between the East and West Plant sites.
