Supporting Our Community

We work with local businesses, schools, and community organizations to support jobs, skills training, and long‑term community strength. Our goal is simple: invest locally and grow together.

Supporting Local Businesses

Resolution Copper supports local businesses by keeping jobs local and investing in economic growth. We prioritize local hiring and partner with area suppliers to strengthen a resilient, connected regional economy.

Our supplier portal helps local businesses share their capabilities and stay informed about upcoming opportunities. Companies such as Oddonetto Construction, 4Winds Contracting, and Superior Environmental have grown alongside the project, reflecting the positive impact of working locally.

Workforce Development Efforts 

We partner with local schools, apprenticeship programs, and training providers to help build a skilled workforce for mining and other industries. These efforts combine education and hands‑on experience to support long‑term career pathways and community stability.

Today, more than 90% of our workforce lives locally, reinforcing our focus on local opportunity and shared success.

Community Partners

Resolution Copper maintains long‑term partnerships with local schools, first responders, civic organizations, and community groups in and around Superior and across the region. We also engage regularly with local leaders, Native American Tribes, NGOs, and businesses. Through hundreds of meetings and thousands of conversations, community input continues to inform our planning and decision‑making, helping ensure the project reflects local priorities and needs.

The Descent: What It’s Like Traveling Nearly 7,000 Ft. Underground
