Copper ore from the future Resolution mine near Superior will be mixed with water and sent 20 miles by pipeline to an isolated location north of Florence, where it will be filtered and shipped out for processing.

Resolution Copper and county planning staff are working on a roadway development agreement before the rezoning request goes before the Board of Supervisors for final approval.
