As artificial intelligence reshapes the global economy and electrification accelerates, copper’s status as the foundational metal of the 21st century becomes magnified. Demand is surging, yet domestic U.S. supply continues to lags after decades of stagnation. Resolution Copper – a joint project by major mining companies Rio Tinto and BHP – in Arizona offers a rare, high-impact solution: one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper deposits with the potential to deliver up to 25% of current U.S. copper needs while creating thousands of jobs and enhancing national security.
Vicky Peacey, President of Resolution Copper, captures the project’s strategic value, calling it “a rare combination of geology, location and national need. It is one of the largest undeveloped copper resources in the world, located in a historic mining district in Arizona.” Resolution is a brownfield redevelopment in the heart of Arizona’s Copper Triangle which is set to build on a century of responsible mining heritage.
