It’s a busy and exciting time for Resolution Copper as the mining organization continues its partnership with Rio Tinto and BHP to progress the proposed underground mine near Superior. This project represents one of the most significant untapped copper deposits today with 1.787 billion metric tonnes at an average grade of 1.5% copper and the potential to supply close to 25% of U.S. copper demand.
Tyson Nansel, principal advisor communications for Resolution Copper, shares more about the Superior project, as well as other exciting updates about the company and its recent news and accomplishments.
Az Business: Can you provide an update on the current status of the Resolution Copper project and any major milestones achieved recently?
Tyson Nansel: The Resolution Copper project is currently in the permitting phase, with a focus on addressing regulatory requirements and environmental considerations as outlined in the federal review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This includes comprehensive assessments of environmental and social impacts, with extensive stakeholder engagement.
Resolution Copper has made significant progress in 2024. We were honored to receive the Rocky Mountain Mining Institute’s Safety Award for Small Underground Mines for the second consecutive year, recognizing our commitment to workplace safety. Additionally, we formalized a landmark Good Neighbor Agreement with local communities and stakeholders, setting a foundation for ongoing collaboration and responsible development.
These milestones highlight our focus on safety, sustainability and community partnership as we advance the project.
The project continues to await final permitting decisions, and the team remains actively engaged with stakeholders to address any concerns and ensure the project aligns with sustainability goals and community values. This ongoing dialogue is key to developing a project that responsibly contributes to the global copper supply, essential for renewable energy technologies and infrastructure.
