Resolution Copper Receives Support from Arizona Daily Star
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Last week the Arizona Republic wrote an article about Governor Jan Brewer’s support for the Resolution Copper Mining project and in response we addressed a few concerns voiced in the articles comments. On Sunday, the Arizona Daily Star published an article voicing their support for the effort so we wanted to take a moment to address a few of the concerns raised there as well.
Issue:
Gaining access to the ore body means Resolution Copper will harm the environment.
Response:
Resolution Copper is committed to running an environmentally friendly mining operation. You can see all of the steps being taken here, but in short, a few environmental measures include:
- Resolution Copper supports a multi-year, multi-million dollar cleanup of lands in and around Superior that have been affected by almost 100 years of mining activity.
- The proposed Resolution Project mine will be an underground operation with no open pits and no new plans for Greenfield tailings sites.
- After mining is complete, a detailed course of action will be taken to return the land to a productive and/or natural state.
- Resolution Copper has constructed a water treatment facility to prepare groundwater from old mine workings before it is discharged.
Issue:
Few jobs will be created and those that are won’t be available to the local community.
Response:
- Understanding that the project will generate a large amount of economic activity, Resolution Copper is working with local authorities to ensure the long-term economic health of the region. The company’s approach is to partner with the Town of Superior and the surrounding area to support the community’s vision for economic development and social stability.
- Our goal is to help with specific activities that will jumpstart a range of economic development activities and, over the long term, aid in the diversification of the local economy. To further this goal, Resolution Copper actively works with local and regional economic planning groups and provides a wide range of support for regional economic development.
