Jacqueline E. Cardenas, 37, of Superior passed away on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 at Banner Baywood Hospital in Mesa. Jacqueline was born on June 10, 1974 in Kearny. She was a loving mother to her three children, Alejandra Shantea Lowe, Jesus Manuel PaLaFox and Cruz Orlando PaLaFox. She also leaves behind her companion, Manuel PaLaFox;

mother and father, Christina and Cruz Cardenas; and her sisters, Jessica and Nancy Cardenas and Vanessa Beltran. Jacqueline was a wonderful aunt to her nieces and nephews. She enjoyed listening to music, talking on the phone, walking, and watching her favorite show Days of our lives, and mostly being with her family. She enjoyed sitting

in her front yard watching Chico (her dog) playing with her two sons. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Superior.

Consuelo Navarro

Jacqueline E. Cardenas An online guest book can be signed at www. superiorfuneral.com.

April 25, 1916 - October 19, 2011 Consuelo Navarro, resident of Superior for almost nine decades, has been lovingly greeted by Jesus and now joins her husband Evaristo in heaven. She passed away on Oct. 19, 2011. Consuelo was born in Metcalf, Arizona on April 25, 1916, to parents, Jose Pulido and Geralda Lopez. Consuelo was one of 12 siblings with Joe Castro of Superior the remaining living member of her family.

At 20 years of age, Consuelo was faced with the enormous task of helping to provide for her brothers and sisters as her single mother died at the age of 42. Although times were difficult, they leaned on her grandmother Eligia Lopez and found ways to accommodate the needs of her brothers and sisters. She shared times when she worked for $1 a day at the Magma Hospital. Her

brother Camerino Lopez dropped out of high school in the 10th grade to work in the mine to help support the family. She was married on Easter Sunday April 9, 1944 to Evaristo Navarro. They raised a loving family of five children: Connie, Ophelia, Cecilia, Linda and Victor. They lived happily in Superior and enjoyed family and friendship over the years. She was an active leader in the 4H program for 18 years teaching young girls the craft of being a seamstress and creative clothing creations. She also participated in a women’s social club known as the Mexicanitas. In the fall of 2004 her loving husband Evaristo went to be with Jesus and she moved to Mesa, living with her daughter and sonin-law, Linda and Danny Real. This period of her life she experienced a time when she was able to enjoy life very differently and

Consuelo Navarro found time to even visit the Mesa Senior Center on a weekly basis. She also traveled to Florida, California and Texas to visit family and celebrate joyous occasions. Just six months ago she enjoyed the wedding of her grandson in Rhode Island. We will miss her dearly and she will be forever in the hearts of her children who she treasured so deeply. She has touched so many people in her life and we are so grateful for the kind expressions and actions from family and friends. An online guest book can be signed at www. superiorfuneral.com.

Letter to the Editor: Response and clarification to questions and answers of the Mayor’s during the debate for the Town of Superior, held on Oct. 24 Editor, Superior Sun: There was a question concerning the Town’s audits. The delay of the financial audits of the Town is something we are not hiding. The Town Council as a whole are aware of the delays that exist. Many times this has been spoken during the Town Council meetings that are open to the public. The Arizona State Auditor General is aware of the problems and delays associated in producing the

Town audits. We have not been assessed any penalties for the delay. Superior is not alone in this issue as many communities and even countries are behind in their audits since the 2008 great recession. We face similar problems as others with staff shortages as well as, for us, a high turnover in our financial department. One major area that our Town faced was the financial software the Town used. As many of you who are computer minded, system upgrades

of an old software at times creates more of a problem than it is intended to solve. This is why the Town Council moved to completely introducing a new financial software program. The old data from the old system has to be manually inputted into the new system but also making sure the old data was actually correct. This takes time to complete. It was also mentioned that we were spending too much. Actually we have been spending less and less

since the 2008 recession. Our income streams has been reducing and therefore we are spending less. I have to commend our Town staff for doing more with less and making every effort to maintain service to the community. This is also true with the volunteer committees who have been working hard on projects and seeing them completed which have improved our community. My opponent mentioned that he will solve all these problems in 18 months and

that was his commitment. He did not mention anything after that. Mr. Valenzuela thinks that solving these problems that we will be living in paradise. That is a total fantasy. We as a community will always be facing issues as our community moves forward as we grow and develop. My commitment is not just for 18 months; my commitment is for a lifetime. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for all our residents

every day and into the future. Finally, I feel it was inappropriate for Mr. Valenzuela to go after my children during the debate or even use them in his political campaign. The issues surrounding my children are a private matter and if anyone who wants to know the truth can come and see me privately and I will be glad to explain the issue. /s/ Michael Hing Mayor Superior

Candidate Forum: The Mayoral Recall Election By Taylor Beard Michael Hing and Jayme Valenzuela will be squaring off Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the polls in the Recall Election. At stake is the top seat in the Town of Superior government. It’s up to the voters to decide who will be sitting in the mayor’s seat. There was a large turnout Monday, Oct. 24, to hear what each candidate in the upcoming recall election had to say when presented with numerous pertinent questions by J. Peter Armenta, the moderator of the forum. The forum was informal and meant to give greater clarity to the issues each candidate represents. In the opening statements, each candidate noted being raised in Superior, along with giving a short history of their actions within the town. Each candidate also gave background lending them to the office of Mayor.

“I have lots of things that I want to bring to the town of Superior,” said Valenzuela. “I want to run for Mayor in the town of Superior because I want to work for the people of Superior. I want people to be able to ask questions and not be ridiculed because they are asking questions of town government…We’ve lost our leadership within the town hall. I feel that there are lots of issues that have occurred within town hall that have made people not believe in town government and right now I want to…[bring] everybody back on the same page and working towards the goal that we all have of helping Superior thrive and bringing back economic prosperity to the town of Superior.” “We’re committed to this community and that’s why I am still here and I can say that we are setting the foundations for overcoming the obstacles that our community faces,”

recall election instead of a regular election, Valenzuela said, “I believe in what we all stand for, making our community better and stronger. Now I believe that he (Hing) has lost sight of where we are going as a community. It’s not about I; it’s about we as a community, we as a council. He didn’t make those changes by himself, they were done as a council. We did it, not one person. One person does not dictate this whole community. I believe in this community as a whole.” Armenta asked Valenzuela what he felt the duties of Mayor are. “The duties of a mayor and council,” Valenzuela responded, “are not to be involved in the day-today operations. We as a legislative body are there to approve [zoning, policy and procedure]. We need to let our people do their job. If we micro manage

Hing said. “It hasn’t been easy. Our community has struggled with the closure of the mine and then with the 2008 recession, but we have been setting the firm foundations for a great future and I hope that tonight I can elaborate on some of those areas that this community is moving forward on.” Right out of the gate, the mayor was asked about the recall and what his reactions were. “I didn’t call the recall,” Hing said. “There is a group out there that made these accusations and today these accusations are unfounded. We struggle as a community. I am not blaming anybody, but we’ve got to deal with the current issues. The shortfalls of our revenue streams, since I have been in office, are incredible. It is hard to move in a positive direction, but we are moving forward.” Valenzuela was asked about why he chose to run in the

it, we are just holding back progress. As mayor I will not be a micromanager of town government. When there are issues that arise, we as a council will address those issues; not one individual meeting with certain people by themselves, as it looks like back door deals are being done.” “Interesting,” Hing rebutted. “Going back to Mr. Valenzuela’s issue of we and I, every decision that’s made is made here at the town council level are voted on. If Mr. Valenzuela feels that I am driving this in the wrong direction, there are six other council members that he can speak to drive it in a different direction. I am just one vote. When it comes to critical issues where the mayor needs to be there, I go. That’s part of the duty that was given to me as mayor, to make these meetings with Resolution, with Omya, with developers that come in. I make myself available. I do not run the day-to-day operation. That’s why we have a town manager. You have to have a relationship with the town manager to understand where the town is headed.” When asked about the many issues that face the town currently and what he is doing to address them, Mayor Hing explained, “Code enforcement and petty crime in our community, that is what we need to address. You can bring in development after development, but it doesn’t do you any good unless you address the petty crime that exists, and that is due to the drug and alcohol abuse in the community. What’s the crime rate, EMS service and

schools: those are the key elements for having people move to your community. It has been a struggle, but we are moving forward.” Valenzuela considered other issues to be most important. “First of all,” he said, “I think that the biggest issue facing the town of Superior is our finances. We were told by the auditor that we were in pretty bad shape. I don’t think we’ve had a current audit for the last three fiscal years. How can we move forward if we don’t know what the last three years were about? How can we establish budgets when we don’t know where we stood for the last three years? I think the next more important thing is making policy and procedures in the town.” When asked about the economic downturn of the town and what he felt should be done to change this, Mayor Hing said, “We are on our way. We have an economic development committee that was formed. They have accomplished quite a bit. Zoning has changed a lot of what can be done. We need to change … design the zones to meet the community needs at this time. We’re addressing the downtown area to be more proactive for businesses. Superior has a visitor’s center. We have partnered with the Superior Chamber of Commerce. There are a lot of things that have been developed through the economic development committee. The EDC is going to be a non-profit so that money can be brought into the community in a non-profit status. They are continuing to See Forum, Page 14

misuse of funds. If resources are needed for sewer system maintenance, the voters of this town should be the ones to decide on this issue and should be appraised of the need to do so. Second, we strongly object to the extremely high late fees being added to overdue accounts. This puts an undue burden on those of who are experiencing economic

hardships or on fixed incomes. It is basically a tax on those who can least afford it. These fees should be eliminated immediately. We, the undersigned, strongly urge those in power to address these issues. We call for a complete reevaluation of all systems that oversee and manage our sewer system. We respectfully request that those in power

provide an explanation for the allocation of funds collected in relation to our sewer bills. Respectfully, /s/ Charles S. Davison /s/ Joseph Young /s/ Matt and Stacie Powe /s/ Pamela Galloway /s/ Mitchell Brown /s/ Ken Swift /s/ Sandra Medina /s/ Lynette Lord Superior

progress at CAC and the fact it is a great asset to Pinal County,” he said. “I leave with my head high for putting CAC in a better place. I want to thank the Governing Board and the communities across the county for their continuous support of me and CAC.” In a joint statement, CAC’s Governing Board said it was grateful, as all of Pinal County should

be, to President Dennis Jenkins for his 40 years of service to the college. The board cited his numerous stellar accomplishments under his leadership, including passage of the general bond for the expansion of current CAC locations and the building of two new campuses in the city of Maricopa and in the San Tan Valley.

The board also lauded Jenkins’s ability to keep CAC financially sound in a time when many community colleges are on less solid financial footing. Jenkins’ work ethic has been unparalleled, his loyalty and dedication are beyond reproach, and his decisions and the resulting actions have always been in the best interest of CAC. Dr. Doris Helmich, the

vice president for student services, will be in charge until the CAC Governing Board holds a special meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011. The meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. in room T116 on the Signal Peak Campus to decide on and share a plan for temporary leadership in preparation for a nationwide search for a new president.

its drilling activities at the Corporation’s Oracle Ridge Copper Mine in southern Arizona. Metallurgical testing to validate design assumptions and detail engineering is nearly complete, with the grinding work index studies, mineralogy, flotation, thickening and filtration studies in final stages of testing and approximately 95% complete. A final comprehensive report is expected in November. The tailings impoundment area design is 60% complete and will support the design of a 10-million-ton dry stack tailing impoundment facility, which is adequate for the planned production. The tailings facility design is ready for the final stage of engineering. Engineering and design work is on schedule and is approximately 40% complete. The plant design and economic study is based on a 2,000 tons-per-

day processing facility and related facilities including the tailings impoundment. The process design will use SAG/ball mill grinding followed by flash and conventional froth flotation for recovery of copper and precious metals. A copper concentrate will be thickened and filtered for transport. Preliminary production estimates indicate that approximately 140 tons of high-grade copper concentrate could be produced on a daily basis. The Corporation last reported assay results of 10 holes on Oct. 19, of which seven holes intersected highgrade copper mineralization in areas extending beyond the previously known mineralization. Highlights include 24 feet of 3.09% copper in Drill Hole ODH006, 30 feet of 3.45% copper in ODH007 and 35 feet of 2.70% in ODH008. Please see the media release See Mining, Page 7

Mining Report By Mila Lira October has proved to be a busy month for local copper mine projects. At press time copper was being sold at $3.52 a pound this reflects a fourteen cent increase since our last report earlier in October. Resolution Copper: Resolution Copper received a vote in the House of Representatives for the passage of the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2011. The bill passed 235186, with 12 no votes. The

bill will now need to be introduced into the Senate. Once approved in the Senate the bill will move on to President Obama for his signature. It is expected that the bill will have some resistance in the Senate. At this time there is no official comment from the Obama administration on their position on the legislation.

Continued from Page 6 “Oracle Mining intercepts more high-grade copper at Oracle Ridge” dated Oct. 19, 2011, for more information. At present, there are three surface drill rigs on site conducting confirmation drilling to validate the historic resource. The successful completion of the validation program will allow the Corporation to undertake a NI 43101 compliant resource estimation. Results to date compare well with the historic data. The technical information in this media release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed by Glenn R. Clark, P.Eng., of Glenn R. Clark & Associates Limited, and John I. Kyle, PE, of Lyntek, Inc., both consultants for Oracle Mining and Qualified Persons under NI 43-101, who are responsible for the technical information reported herein. Geo Mining: GEO MINERALS LTD. announced in October that it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”) (TSX: NGD)(NYSE AMEX: NGD), under which New Gold will acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of Geo by way of plan of arrangement. Under the plan of arrangement, Geo shareholders will receive $0.16 per share, and 1/15th of a common share in a new exploration company (“SpinCo”) for each Geo common share held. Excluding the SpinCo consideration, the cash consideration offered represents a premium of approximately 33% based on the closing price of the Geo shares on October 14, 2011. New Gold will also subscribe for 9.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common shares for consideration of $250,000. On completion of the transaction, current Geo shareholders will hold approximately 90.1% of the

Superior Sun, Superior, Arizona outstanding SpinCo shares, and SpinCo will own all of Geo’s assets and liabilities, except for cash retained by Geo and Geo’s West Blackwater mineral interests, located in central British Columbia. The board of directors of Geo unanimously approved the transaction and all directors and senior officers

of Geo, as well as certain other Geo shareholders, collectively holding approximately 29% of the number of Geo securities anticipated to be entitled to vote at a meeting of the Geo securityholders (including holders of Geo shares, stock options, and share purchase warrants), have agreed to vote their securities in favour

of the transaction. “The proposed transaction is an exciting opportunity for Geo and its securityholders,” said Michael England, Geo’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This transaction provides Geo shareholders with both an immediate meaningful premium reflecting the progress we have

That’s a really big check ...

We believe this unbundling of the West Blackwater project and Geo’s other exploration assets will ultimately create the greatest value for our securityholders.” Transaction Details The transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement, and will require the approval of at least 2/3 of the votes cast by shareholders, optionholders and warrantholders voting as a single class at Geo’s special meeting of

shareholders, expected to take place in December 2011. The transaction is also subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and the satisfaction of certain closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. Geo has engaged PI Financial Corp. to deliver a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. If the transaction is completed, Geo shareholders will receive $0.16 for every Geo share, and one SpinCo share for every 15 Geo shares.

Panthers close a GREAT season, lose in state quarterfinals By Taylor Beard The boys worked hard this season and had a fantastic season…not too many teams can say that they made it to the quarterfinals, especially blazing their way there the way the Panthers did. These guys are like a floor made of matches that some idiot cruised across with shoes made of flint…they explode into action.

Watching them play is truly a delight, you can’t help but be drawn in and scream your face right off until you are hoarse and cannot talk for the rest of the weekend. They ended their season playing against the Joy Christian Eagles, who at the time were the number two team in the division. Not a bad opponent to go out on, right?

The game was suspenseful to say the least, drawing many homebodies from Superior down to Glendale to watch and support the boys. The first half was highly competitive, with each team trading scores for the first three possessions. Anthony Flores returned a kick in the best possible way, for a touchdown. During the next drive Martin Granillo hooked

up with Louie Fuentes for a three yard touchdown. Flores forced a fumble that was recovered and then returned by Fuentes for a touchdown. The Joy Christian Eagles scored a touchdown with five seconds to go in the first half which put them up by two goals going into the half. In the second half, Joy Christian pulled away with a

from the Globe – Miami mining district, through the Ray and Florence mining district, and the Red Hills project which is located Southeast of Florence. Curis Mining – Florence Copper Project Curis Mining has announced its voluntary withdrawal of its requests to amend the Town of Florence General Plan and rezone a portion of its property. Curis continues to pursue the completion of state and federal permit amendments required to advance Florence Copper towards full development. The process is well advanced, involves an extensive and in-depth review by state and federal environmental and technical experts, and is in the final phase which includes a 30-day public comment period that is anticipated to be initiated by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency in the near term. Curis believes that the completion of this process and amendment of the permits will give the Town of Florence and all stakeholders greater confidence on environmental and technical matters and the opportunity to focus their attention on matters relating to land use. In withdrawing the requests for amendments to the Town’s General Plan and rezoning during this year’s planning cycle, the Company will focus on finalizing the environmental permit amendments early in 2012 and intends to re-engage in these discussions with the Mayor, Town Council and Town staff.

“A significant number of the permits required for the development and operation of Florence Copper are already in place”, commented Michael McPhie, President and CEO of Curis. “This includes important water use approvals from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) and air quality permits from Pinal County. The permit amendments from ADEQ and EPA represent the final significant step in the overall environmental approvals required for the development and operation of Florence Copper.” “Our primary goal has been that upon the receipt of our updated major environmental operating permits, we would move forward with Florence Copper operations in 2 phases. Phase 1: the Production Test Facility (PTF); and Phase 2: full commercial operations,” commented Mel Lawson, Vice President of Project Development with Curis Resources in Arizona. “Nothing with respect to our overall project development timeline has changed as a result of today’s announcement,” he said.

“Our sincere desire is to build a constructive and meaningful working relationship with the Town and our neighbors this year, next year and in the many years to come,” said McPhie. “In withdrawing our applications, our hope is that we can have an open and meaningful dialogue with the Town after receipt of our amended environmental permits and work to address any concerns that Council and Town staff may have in the weeks and months ahead.” McPhie noted that about one-half of the recoverable oxide copper contained in the 429 million ton copper oxide resource1 hosted on Florence Copper lands lies beneath a 160 acre block of State Land. Curis holds the rights to recover and process minerals under a mineral lease from the State on this land parcel. The Company intends to complete its feasibility study and initiate operations utilizing in-situ copper recovery (ISCR) technologies within this State land parcel next year, beginning with a Phase 1 production test and ramping up to commercial production by 2014.

Upon the recommendation of a special committee established to review the transaction, Geo directors have determined that the transaction is in the best interest of Geo and its securityholders, and have unanimously approved the transaction. The directors intend to recommend, in the information circular for the securityholder meeting, that Geo securityholders vote in favor of the transaction. Subject to New Gold’s right to match, the board of Geo may terminate the business combination agreement in favor of an unsolicited superior proposal upon payment of a $230,000 break fee to New Gold. The special meeting of securityholders of Geo and the closing of the transaction are targeted to occur in December 2011. The completion deadline is February 15, 2012.

Joy Christian definitely made the big plays when they needed to. Coach Palmer explained, “We would have them held to third and long, but then give up a big play which more than often resulted in six points. They did a good job of containing our offense and creating turnovers. Joy Christian was just the better team on that night.” The final score of Superior vs. Joy Christian was left at 26-

68. Unfortunately, there will always be a better team; maybe you are at the top for a season, but it is a guarantee that there are several teams waiting and striving to get to the top.

Southeast Arizona Land Exchange moves forward By Mila Lira The US House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to approve the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2011. The vote was approved with 235 votes in favor of passage and 186 against the passage of the bill. The legislation will allow Rio Tinto to swap 5300 acres of environmentally sensitive land that they own for 2400 acres of forest service land in the Tonto National Forest with the federal government. The swap is needed for the development of the Resolution Copper mine. The ore body they expect to mine will produce 80 percent of North America’s need for copper. The vote in the House of Representative is the farthest this legislation has gone since it was first introduced by then Congressman Rick Renzi in 2005. Passage of the bill did not occur without great debate and requests from House Democrats to amend parts of the legislation or stall the bill all together. The amendments were discussed in the House Rules Committee on Monday and Tuesday prior to the hearing. There were three proposed amendments to the bill all of which failed. The first amendment was requested by Arizona Representative Raul Grijalva who is a longtime opponent to the legislation. His amendment would have required that the remote operations center for the proposed mine be located in Superior. The amendment also required that Resolution actively recruit and hire local employees, that all ore produced from the mine be processed in the United States and all equipment used at the mine be made in the United States. The second amendment was entered by Representative Ben Ray Lujan, a Democrat from New Mexico. His amendments would have exempted all Native American sacred and cultural sites from the land conveyance. Edward Markey a Democrat from Massachusetts brought forward the third amendment. His amendment would have required as a condition of the land exchange that Resolution Copper pay an eight percent royalty to the United States on all locatable minerals produced from the federal land that the company

receives in the exchange. The Democrats supported this amendment because the Mining Law of 1872 does not require any royalty payment. Congressman Ed Pastor, who was raised in the copper mining town of Miami, Arizona also supported this amendment. In his speech during the debates, Pastor said that he could not support this bill as it is written. Congressman Pastor introduced a similar bill into Congress several years ago. In a final attempt just prior to the official vote, Rep. Markey requested that the bill not be passed because .03 percent of Rio Tinto’s mining operations mine uranium in other countries. He stated that the uranium could be used by terrorists and to construct a nuclear bomb. Markey’s very passionate speech on the floor of the House included a picture of Iran’s current President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. One critical issue that Democrats continued to bring up was the automation that Rio Tinto uses in their mining operations. Democrats argued that the proposed mining project will not create the jobs they claim it will because robots will be working in the mine. Several Republican Congressmen from across Arizona and America debated in favor of the legislation. They reminded their colleagues across the aisle that the legislation once approved will create jobs for Americans; add billions of dollars into the economy, and preserves 5300 acres of environmentally important land in Arizona. The Republicans also assured them that the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) will be conducted prior to any minerals being extracted from the land. Arizona Representative Jeff Flake shared in his speech how local businessmen Albo Guzman and Jeb Dalmolin are just a few of the current contractors working on projects for Resolution Copper. He also commented that 90 percent of the 500 current employees on the project are from Arizona. Representative Gosar who introduced the bill into Congress earlier this year reminded his colleagues that the lands that are to be exchanged will preserve the ecologically important 7B Ranch in Pinal County, and will create

3700 jobs without costing the taxpayer a dime. The following members of the Arizona Congressional delegation voted in favor of the passage of the bill: Rep. Gosar, Rep. Quayle, Rep. Flake, Rep. Franks and Rep. Schweikert. Representatives Grijalva and Pastor voted in opposition to the bill. Representative Giffords did not vote

on the bill. Giffords was absent from the vote due to her ongoing recovery from injuries sustained in the shooting this winter. Several local supporters of the Land Exchange gathered to watch the hearing at the Resolution Copper Main St. Office, upon the official announcement of the passage of the house bill there was a big sigh of relief and

cheers echoed from the supporters. Many of these supporters have been patiently waiting for this step in the process. Roy Chavez the spokesperson for the Retired Miners and Concerned Citizens group remarked on the passage of the legislation. He explained to the Copper Area News that they were “disappointed and disgusted with the

outcome of the vote, but they we not discouraged.” The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation of Act of 2011 will still need to pass the Senate and be approved by President Barack Obama before the legislation is finalized. The legislation is expected to face some resistance in the democratically controlled Senate.

Copper Area readers support the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act By Mila Lira The Copper Area News Group ran a poll over the weekend following the passage of H.R. 1904 The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2011 and of those participating in the online survey there was overwhelming support for the project and a strong belief that the Resolution Copper project will help to rebuild and stimulate the economy of the Copper Corridor. The first question that was asked in the survey was: Do you support the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act? There were 48 total responses to this question, 37 people (77%) of those responses said that they support the land exchange while only 10 (20.8%) said that they do not support the land exchange. There was 1 no vote. Those responding to the survey were allowed to comment on each question. All comments will remain anonymous: Here are some of those comments to question one: • Copper is one of the “C” in Arizona, and is vital to the existence of this state and country. As the daughter of a retired copper miner, and who’s first job was in a copper smelter, I fully support mining in Arizona. It’s also important to develop a non mining economy, so when mining operations shut down, the area wont revert back to a ghost town, experiencing the current economic struggles. • I do not believe federally protected land that has been designated for recreation and has a cultural and spiritual significance should be touched for profit, especially by foreign entities with major human rights

and environmental charges against them. • I would expect Resolution Copper to mine at the highest standards available in their operation. I would expect the company to find ways to return to the community the tax base taken from the areas that will not receive any taxes because this is an exchange of land, not a purchase. I hold RCM accountable for the environment and community and expect the company to be an upholding citizen, and one that has money to put into the community where it is established. • I am opposed to the royalty tax on extracted ore. Copper mining is difficult and expensive enough. We need less taxation and more conservative representation. • The land to be exchanged is part of our National Forest, a camp ground where many people go. When it is gone, it will be gone forever. Question 2 of the survey asked: Do you think that Congress really has an understanding of what our region needs when it comes to job creation? There were a total of 48 respondents in this question a 37 (77%) of the respondents said No that Congress does not have an understanding of what our region needs when it comes to job creation. Ten (20.8%) of the respondents said yes that Congress does have an understanding. There was one non-responding vote. The comments for this questions varied but most expressed their overall concerns with Congress. • Arizona doesn’t have the manufacturing jobs or non mining industries that other regions of the county have, so mining is an

alternative to joblessness in this area. What Congress ought to do is concentrate on changing the antiquated mining laws, so that foreign companies don’t exploit the resources, people and mining culture similar to what BHP did. • If they really knew the nuts and bolts of the agreement and workforce profile alongside the hiring practices of Rio Tinto and BHP they would see this farce of job creation is more like profiteering from economically depressed areas without accountability. • I know this to be the case that Congress does NOT understand the West, they rather view it as a big vacationland and do not understand how people live and work here. I think a few do, namely AZ delegation. • I believe Congress is aware that we need jobs but they don’t know how to create them. That should be left up to business people and private companies to create jobs or develop the project that will. They should support legislation that help facilitate job creation! • I think Congress is made up of a group of egotistical fools who are out for themselves, their political position, and their career. I don’t believe anyone in congress deserves to be there because they’re a bunch of spoiled individuals who know only how to oppose each other and have no connection to the People they supposedly represent (and definitely do not!). The third and final question of the survey was: Do you believe that the Resolution Copper Mine will help stimulate and rebuild the economy of the copper corridor? Forty-eight readers responded to this question and 40 (83.3%) of them agreed

that that the Resolution Copper Mine will help stimulate and rebuild the local economy. Of the 48 respondents only eight (16.6%) said that the project will not stimulate the local economy. There was one no response. Some of the comments to this question included: • I believe, if done correctly and responsibly, RCM will provide good jobs. What I hope is that RCM will continue to care about the community and show, as done in Superior, that they are giving back to the People who have made this all possible. For the record, I recognize the work that RCM has put into bringing Superior back to life, dedicating trails, and working with the community to move ahead thoughtfully and carefully. Thank you. • I believe they will take the money and run back to England and leave us with another toxic mess to clean up at OUR expense • Seems to already be working for Superior! • By default it will, due to its geographical location, and skilled labor currently in the area. Many of those who’ve left for mining jobs in Nevada, Utah, and etc. will return home, and revive the economy in communities • I believe it will stimulate Gold Canyon, Apache Junction and encroach on our way of life.

After the fight: A follow-up to the House vote

By Taylor Beard The debate over the H.R. 1904 or its predecessors has spanned several years in and out of the town of Superior with many people for the many benefits of the bill and many people against the destructive forces they feel the bill will bring to the area. On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the bill passed on the floor of the House of Representatives for the first time. Yet during the heated debates taking place on the floor preceding its passing, many relevant points were brought up and passed over without revisiting the issue. Arizona Congressional Representative Paul Gosar and Jon Cherry, Vice President for Environment, Legal and External Relations at Resolution Copper, took the time following the vote to explain anything that might have been brushed over. In the past, Congressman Ed Pastor had been a proponent of a previous version of this bill, yet this time around he took a very different stance on the matter, prompting some anger from local supporters of the bill who were confused over the change of heart. “On one hand,” Gosar said, “I was happy that he acknowledged what we tried to do with this bill, you know, our way of listening and trying to incorporate everyone into a solution. Then again, it also makes me sad that we’ve become so partisan up here that we don’t take advantage of what’s good.” Cherry explained: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and they have to vote their conscience and that’s obviously what he did.” During the debate, representatives in opposition to the bill repeatedly referenced an eight percent royalty that they would like to see made part of the bill. This would be an additional eight percent taxed on profits of the mine above and beyond the taxes and royalties that they would already be paying to the government. When asked about what such a royalty would have meant to the operation, Cherry explained, “This bill is about a

land exchange. Congressman Flake gave a very good rebuttal, saying he has been working on this in the past. Royalty issues belong with the 1872 Mining Law debate, not on a land exchange. It essentially would have preempted the existing mining law.” Cherry added, “Why would you be singling out one company in the United States to apply that to? It’s picking and choosing winners and that’s not appropriate. It was intended to kill this bill, not to look at policy.” “That’s exactly right,” Gosar agreed. “If you’re going to consider a differences of the way our mining act looks at a mineral, then you need to do it all the way across the board, not pick and choose this company over another. What we need to do is then go back to the full mining act and make that full disclosure and change. But until then what they need to do is abide by this and how this process works. It’s very common sense, very practical. When you start talking about the facts, this is why this thing wins out.” At several points during the House debate, the comment was repeatedly made that the mine was going to be manned by robots, not human beings. The opposition referenced the Pilbarra mines in Australia, which are remotely operated. The bill, they argued, would not be for human jobs in Arizona, but instead would give profits to a company that would stock its workforce with robots. When asked to explain the role of humans and robots in the Resolution Copper project, Cherry said, “Just because you have a robot doesn’t mean that you have fewer people. We are using these things to be more efficient and to work even safer. Every piece of automated equipment still needs someone to program it, someone to operate it. When we talk about remote equipment, there may not be a driver sitting on that piece of equipment. He is going to be back at the end of the drift or up on the surface. There still has to be human interaction

with that piece of equipment on several different levels.” The Pilbara mining operations in Western Australia is an entirely different operation with several factors dictating why it is remotely operated, such as safety, location and ore type. The opposition also stated that the numbers of jobs that would result from this project had been grossly inflated. In response, Cherry said, “We’ve done a prefeasibility study. We’re just wrapping that up. We have the preliminary engineering designs. We have the design of what this mine is going to look like. We know how many people it is going to take to operate it. We have gone through that engineering process and part of the process is determining the workforce that is required. It is all based on the fundamental engineering design and the fundamental engineering principles.” During the debate, an amendment was introduced by opposing Congressman Raul Grijalva, essentially dictating where Resolution Copper could hold its company headquarters and that the company would only be allowed to utilize American made products. “We’ve so hamstrung industry that no one wants to play in America anymore,” Gosar said. “No one wants to play in America anymore because they cannot afford to.” Rep. Lujan of New Mexico suggested an amendment to the bill to keep lands that Native American Tribes deemed “Sacred” out of the bill. Part of the Land Exchange Bill, Gosar explained, includes the donation of 110 acres of Resolution property on Apache Leap to the federal government for long term protection. “We are starting the block cave mining away from the Leap and we will have high tech monitoring in place to watch the Leap,” Cherry said. “The bill itself prohibits us from impacting the Leap.” The federal government,

Albo Guzman, foreground, and Superior Mayor Michael Hing, background, react to the final tally at the US House of Representatives vote on the Land Exchange Bill. (Taylor Beard photos) he continued, evaluated the “sacred sites.” They gave a fact of no finding. The Tribes challenged the finding in court and the court upheld the Forest Service’s finding. Towards the end of the debate, the opposing congressional members lashed out against the bill from the standpoint that supporting it would support terrorism, since Rio Tinto holds a stake in a Uranium mine that is minimally owned by the

Government of Iran. “Rio Tinto owns and operates a uranium mine in Namibia, Africa,” Cherry said. “We own roughly 65 percent of that operation, along with the Namibian Government. The IFIC own 15 percent of Rossing Uranium. It was done in 1975 when the Shah of Iran was in control, so that agreement and arrangement happened prior to the Islamic Revolution. That property is still retained by

the government of Iran, but since that time, we have taken steps. There is no nuclear technology that will ever be transferred to Iran. We do not sell uranium to Iran. We have frozen all of their dividends and financial interests in their part. Provisions have been taken to not allow the two board members (from Iran) to attend meetings. We are in full compliance with all of the U.N. Sanctions. We are in full See Follow-Up, Page 14

Follow-Up

Continued from Page 11 compliance with all of the law. H.R.1904 does not waive any Federal law, statute or sanction – period.” With the passing of the bill, both men are optimistic about what will come next. When asked if the bill would need to be changed before it is brought before the senate, Cherry replied, “Hopefully not at all. We’re very pleased with the bill the way that it’s written and we hope that it goes through the Senate the way that it is written. It’s a good bill.” “It’s a good day,” Gosar said. “It’s team work. We all did this together.”

Forum

Continued from Page 4 move the community to look at these issues that affect the community.” Valenzuela responded to the same question. “I think the biggest thing that we as a community have in our favor is Resolution Copper,” Valenzuela said. “We can capture on that and move forward with Resolution. We can win and everybody can win; the community can win as a whole and Resolution can win as a whole. What Resolution is going to bring is the money that is going to be spent in the downtown area. We need to promote our community. We need to get out there and show them what Superior has to offer. Let’s be in the paper for positive things.” Several other topics were covered during the recall candidate forum, including the many issues that are currently facing the town: the land exchange, commerce, development, fiscal responsibility and more. The debate allowed those who attended to better ascertain where each candidate stood on various issues; it was an ideal opportunity to help dispel the many rumors and issues surround this recall election. Early ballots are out for Superior’s Mayoral Recall Election. Please remember to have them back to the Pinal County recorder by the Nov. 8 deadline.
