Supporting Our Community

Helping Local Businesses
At Resolution Copper, we’re dedicated to strengthening our community by keeping jobs local and supporting economic growth. By prioritizing local hiring and partnering with area businesses, we’re helping build a resilient, interconnected economy. To further this mission, we’ve created a local and indigenous supplier portal, making it easier for local businesses to showcase their services and stay informed about upcoming opportunities. Success stories like Oddonetto Construction, 4-Winds Contracting, and Superior Environmental—businesses that have expanded with our support—highlight the positive impact we’re making together in our community.

Workforce Development Efforts 

Through partnerships with local schools, apprenticeship programs, and targeted training initiatives, we help develop a skilled workforce ready to meet the demands of the mining industry and beyond. By investing in education and hands-on experience, we not only prepare individuals for successful careers but also contribute to the long-term economic health and vitality of our community. 

In 2024, we were proud to be named Provider of the Year by the Arizona Association for Economic Development (AAED), recognizing our commitment to sustainability and economic diversification in Superior, Arizona. Through our Regional and Economic Development Strategy, we’ve empowered local businesses, provided workforce training, and enhanced community resilience, all while maintaining over 85% local employment. Our investments in salaries, partnerships, and community initiatives, along with strong collaboration with external partners, have been instrumental in driving economic growth and empowering our team. 

Community Partners 

Resolution Copper is proud to maintain multi-year partnerships with key community stakeholders, including the Superior Unified School District, Superior Chamber of Commerce, Rebuild Superior Inc, the Town of Superior, Globe Unified School District Robotics, Queen Valley Fire Department, and the Superior Fire Department. Our commitment to collaboration extends beyond these partnerships, as we’ve engaged with thousands of individuals, including local leaders, Native American Tribes, NGOs, community organizations, and businesses, to gather valuable input and shape our project. Through hundreds of engagements, including community working groups, we’ve ensured that our initiatives are guided by the voices and needs of the communities we serve.

Our Work

From Geology Roots to Modern Mining: Ginger’s Journey

For Ginger, mining isn’t just a career. It is a way to honor her father’s passion for geology and the Arizona landscape he loved. More than 30 years ago, her dad, a hydrogeologist, moved the family to Arizona drawn to the region’s geology, water systems, and the potential beneath the surface. He passed away 20 years ago, but his curiosity stayed with her. “Working at the Resolution Copper project would have been a dream job for him,” she says. “Every time I go underground, I think of him. It feels like I’m walking the path he never got to take.”

Building Stronger Communities Together: December 2025

At Resolution Copper, our mission is to responsibly develop one of the world’s largest copper resources while creating lasting benefits for the communities around us. That means investing in education, supporting local economies, and partnering on initiatives that improve quality of life. Community engagement is not an add-on to our work. It is central to who we are and how we operate.

Volunteering: Making Every Hour Count

126 employees. 1,650 hours. One community. That’s what impact looks like in the Copper Triangle. This year, our team showed up for food banks, flood cleanups, classrooms, and local events. They gave time, care, and heart. And it mattered.

2025 Year-End Review: Progress, Partnership, and Purpose

As 2025 comes to a close, Resolution Copper reflects on a year defined by progress, collaboration, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way. From major operational milestones underground to meaningful investments in local communities, this year marked another important step forward in responsibly advancing one of the most significant copper projects in the United States.

Breaking Ground for WMAT Youth Courts

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.

2025 Supplier Awards: The Partners Behind Every Shift

Once a year, we bring those stories into one room. Our Supplier Award Lunch is where we say thank you. Since 2019, this event has celebrated suppliers and community partners who live our values of care, courage, and curiosity. In 2025, we recognized six partners who quietly make a big difference for our teams, our project, and the Copper Triangle.

Resolution Copper Donates $10,000 to Support Superior Families This Holiday Season

As families across Arizona prepare for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, Resolution Copper is proud to support the Superior Food Bank with an additional $10,000 gift to help keep shelves stocked and ensure Superior residents have access to essential food and supplies during this time of year.

Building Community Through Sports

In November, Resolution Copper partnered with the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Academy to host a free baseball clinic in Whiteriver. Held at Alchesay High School, the event brought together more than 65 young athletes from the White Mountain Apache Little League. Players ages 6–14 spent the day learning from official D-backs coaches through drills, skills stations, and on-field instruction.

From Service to Mining: Honoring Our Veterans

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave individuals who’ve served in the U.S. Armed Forces. At Resolution Copper, we’re proud to work alongside veterans whose leadership, discipline, and teamwork continue to strengthen our project and community.
