Where You'll Be Working
Once operational, Resolution Copper has the potential to supply nearly 25% of US copper demand and create several thousand direct and indirect jobs in the Pioneer Mining District of Arizona. The project, valued at several billion dollars over its lifespan, will utilize a block caving technique to extract the deposit located more than 2,000 meters below the surface. This method leverages gravity to remove the ore, making it the most viable way to recover the resource.
