Our Work

8 Billion Gallons Recycled: Our Commitment to Responsible Water Management

Since 2009, Resolution Copper has treated and provided more than 8 billion gallons of water for agricultural use in Arizona. It is a major milestone for a program that starts nearly 7,000 feet underground and ends in local farm fields.

Resolution Copper awards $110 million in US contracts to advance underground mine

Resolution Copper has awarded approximately $110 million in contracts to Major Drilling America Inc. and Redpath USA Corporation to advance exploration and underground development at the proposed Resolution Copper mine in Arizona.

Every gallon has a job: David’s work in water services

Before anyone can mine copper nearly 7,000 feet underground, someone must move the water. That’s where David comes in. As Water Services Supervisor at Resolution Copper, David helps oversee the systems that treat water pumped from the mine workings while also supporting the site’s potable water system. It’s work that blends science, troubleshooting and teamwork, all with one goal: keeping water moving safely and putting it to good use.
