The primary focus of the walk is the rocks from the Superstition Mountains to the Pinal Mountains. In addition, information on the geologic history of Arizona that created the state’s great mineral wealth and brought about a legacy of mining is available.

The tour lasts from 1-2 hours, and questions are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring rocks from their own collection for identification by the tour guide.

Ben Henderson presents to a group of enthusiastic students!

On April 22^nd Arizona Trail Association sponsored an Earth Day event for grade K-6 John F. Kennedy Elementary students at the Picket Post Trailhead near Superior. The beautiful backdrop of Picket Post Mountain and the great weather made for a wonderful event.  In all, 247 students, 14 teachers and several parents were treated to trail hikes, wildlife and environmental displays and presentations by several local groups and businesses. Making a brief appearance at the event was the ever popular “Smokey the Bear.”

Resolution Copper geologist Ben Henderson, hosted a geology display complete with rocks, posters and a sample of everyday products created using the earth’s natural resources. The display, along with Ben’s presentation on the geology surrounding Superior, proved to be quite popular with students of all ages. Of particular interest to students were Ben’s comments on Picket Post and its volcanic history. Following each presentation students received a Resolution Copper “goodie” bag containing a water bottle, bookmarker, pencils and literature.

On April 22, 2010, Resolution Copper employees Sue Salazar, Connie Schultz, Angela Noon and Senyssa Manriquez represented the company at an ‘Experience Your Future’ day. The purpose of the event, hosted at the University of Phoenix Stadium, was to share career information with Valley 8th graders. The Resolution Copper table included a video animation of the block caving process, rock samples, and a simulation of loading and mucking operations – along with a giveaway of mini chocolate haul trucks! Over 9,000 students from local schools attended the event. For more details please visit http://www.experienceyourfuture.org/

The report tracks our progress, setbacks and challenges in three important areas: social well-being, economic development and environmental stewardship – areas that will allow us to contribute sustainable value well beyond the life of the mine we seek to build and operate.
