School days ...
It’s that time of year again – the time kids dread and parents everywhere dance joyfully. Yes, it’s back to school time in Superior. Kindergartners have fun lining up on the squiggly alphabet line while older students check to see which teacher will be teaching them this year. School started Monday.

THE MINING BRIEF
By Mila Lira Copper prices remain on an upswing in last month’s Mining Report we reported that Copper was being sold at $4.12 a pound the current price is listed at $4.41 a pound. That is a 29 cent increase. Freeport McMoran Freeport McMoran is reporting that Morenci, FCX completed its project to ramp up mining rates to 635,000 metric tons of ore per day and milling rates to approximately 50,000 metric tons per day, resulting in an increase of 125 million pounds of copper per year. FCX is advancing a feasibility study to expand mining and milling capacity at Morenci to process additional sulfide ores identified through positive exploratory drilling over the last few years. This project, which would require significant investment, would increase milling rates to approximately 115,000 metric tons of ore per day and target incremental annual copper production of approximately 225 million pounds within three years, following completion of the feasibility study, expected by year-end 2011. The ramp up of mining
activities at the Miami mine continues. FCX expects production at Miami to ramp up to approximately 100 million pounds of copper per year by 2012. Freeport -McMoRan Environmental The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Arizona Attorney General’s Office announced recently that Freeport-McMoRan Morenci Inc. has agreed to a $150,000 settlement for releasing 168,000 gallons of sulfuric acid and heavy metals from a pipeline into Lower Chase Creek, a tributary of the San Francisco River. Freeport-McMoRan will pay a $75,000 penalty and complete a supplemental environmental project valued at $75,000 as part of a consent judgment in Maricopa County Superior Court for water quality violations caused by the Oct. 30, 2008, spill from its Morenci copper mine in Greenlee County. The supplemental environmental project agreed to by Freeport McMoRan includes conducting one or more household hazardous waste collection events for residents within Graham or Greenlee counties at dates and locations to be announced.

Freeport McMoRan’s Morenci facility discharged the highly corrosive acidic solution directly into Lower Chase Creek from a storm water pipe. The material traveled downstream for a distance of more than two miles, passing through areas of the creek publicly accessible from both Morenci and Clifton. The discharge occurred after one of Freeport McMoRan’s contractors
incorrectly connected an electrolyte solution pipeline into a pipeline dedicated to transporting storm water through the mine. The pollutants in the discharge exceeded Arizona surface water quality standards for copper, zinc and pH in Lower Chase Creek. The company’s Aquifer Protection Permit and See Mining Brief, Page 6
Resolution Copper to cover overage on Magma Avenue construction Originally, Resolution Copper allocated $100,000 to the town of Superior to repave Magma Avenue. The bids went out and what came back was rather shocking—the lowest bid was $114,000. This left town officials a little worried about how to cover the overage. Resolution Copper, however,
has stepped in and offered to cover the remaining $14,000 that went over the original donation. During his discussion with the town council, Thursday, July 21, Vice President of Resolution Copper Company, Jon Cherry, laughingly asked, “Do we get a yellow line with that $14,000?” (The center line has not yet been painted on the freshly paved street.)
By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter Now that Resolution Copper’s proposed land exchange has made it out of committee, what does that mean for the Superior company? At a recent Superior Town meeting, Jon Cherry, Vice President of Resolution Copper Company, was present to give an update on the Land Exchange following the recent full markup allowing the bill to move from the House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee to the House Floor for vote. There were several points of interest that Cherry commented on, from the amendments to the bill to recent rumors concerning Arizona Water to the recent Economic Impact Study. He began his presentation with the most pressing question in the public’s mind, the Land Exchange. The first of the main amendments to the bill deal with the changes in the technical language that is provided in the original bill, while the second deals with the transfer of property and is specific to the Town of Superior. The land exchange permits the transfer of roughly 550 acres of federally controlled land to the Town of Superior for future development. One of the possibilities for accomplishing this is through the use of excess value, if any, in the land exchange to pay for this property. Basically, if the final appraised value of the Resolution Copper land to be exchanged exceeds the value of the federal land, that excess value could then be applied toward the purchase of the lands for the town of Superior, one of the only processes to secure that property for Superior. Cherry explained that the amendment was introduced however, because the use of excess funds for this purpose is considered an earmark and against new House rules. The leadership, specifically Rep. Eric Cantor, insisted this provision be deleted from the bill in order for it to proceed to a full House vote. Rep. Paul Gosar and the Resolution Copper Company strongly opposed this change, yet they will work with Senators McCain and Kyl to reinstate it when the bill goes to the Senate, as the Senate does not have the same rule. The land owned by Resolution Copper Company that is being exchanged for federal lands at Oak Flats includes the 7B property, which is in the San Manuel and Mammoth area. Cherry said that currently the date for the House floor vote had not been set, while Rep. Gosar was anxious to bring it forward, the budget debate has currently tied up the voting process. Following his discussion on the Land Exchange, Cherry announced that the company had conducted another Economic Impact Study and was happy to present the council with some of the recent numbers. He explained that the project will create 3,700 jobs, with 1,400 of those being directly tied to Resolution Copper Mining. The annual payroll for these 1,400 jobs is $220 million. The remaining 2,300 jobs are direct and induced jobs (such
as tire vendors, fabricators, etc.) that will be created as a result of the mine operating in the area. Over the life of the mine, which is estimated currently to be 40 years, the state of Arizona will see a benefit of $61 billion, nearly $1 billion a year; this does not include the estimated federal, state, and county taxes of nearly $20 billion that will be paid through the duration of the mine. From the beginning of the mine to the end, it is estimated that the mine will produce over $14.1 billion dollars in wages. The jobs and economic impact of the mine will be seen most especially in the immediate towns of Superior, Kearny, Globe/Miami, Hayden, San Manuel, Mammoth, Florence, Gold Canyon and the Phoenix Metro area, but will be felt throughout the state. On a mildly similar topic, Cherry updated the council on recent developments concerning the old Superior Marble facility in the town of Superior, recently acquired by Resolution Copper. The plant is being refurbished for use within mine operations and will be directly used by geologists for logging cores and storage. Resolution Copper is adding roughly 12,000 square feet of warehouse space to the existing building on the south side and around 3,000 more square feet in modular trailers that will be installed to the southwest of the building. The facility will house about a dozen geologists and technicians when it’s completed, which is anticipated by the end of 2011. At this point in the discussion, Cherry turned the attention to recent rumors that have been circulating involving contracts between Resolution Copper and Arizona Water. The rumor is that Resolution Copper has purchased or are attempting to buy up all of Arizona Water Company’s supply, inferring that the company will squeeze the town out of its supply of water. Cherry said this rumor is simply not true as he went on to dispel the rumors with fact: Resolution Copper has seen an uptick in their own water use from Arizona Water Company on the West Plant site because of the reclamation work, but that’s been necessary to control dust. They are limited in the amount of water that can be drawn from Arizona Water and are not aware of any supply issues related to their use. There’s a big difference between the potable water See Resolution, Page 7

Local volunteers attend Sheriff Babeu’s awards ceremony at Diamondbacks game For the second year in a row, the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball organization partnered with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office to commend the heroic and lifesaving actions of many of their employees. As a special treat to a few local heroes, Sheriff Babeu invited volunteers of the Superior Substance Abuse Coalition, Gila County Safe Home and Copper Basin Coalition to attend the Diamondbacks game on Friday, July 22, when he honored his employees
with life-saving and purple heart awards at the opening ceremony of the game. The awards were presented not only in front of the hometown fans of the Arizona Diamondbacks but also in front of 2,000 Pinal County Sheriff’s Office employees and family members who were in attendance. “Every day, men and women of law enforcement across our great nation risk their lives so that all of us can be safe.

As thousands of Arizona kids start kindergarten over the next few weeks, they face high expectations and a state ultimatum: learn to read by the end of third grade or be held back. The class of 2024 is the second class of kindergartners subject to the new requirement, approved in 2010 by the state Legislature. “As parents and caregivers, we are counting on Arizona schools to help our children meet those high expectations,” said Rhian Evans Allvin, Chief Executive Officer of First Things First. “But, there are many things that we can do – every day at home – to help prepare our children for success in kindergarten and beyond.” It’s never too early to start. Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain develops by age 5. The experiences a child has during that critical time shape the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Kids who have positive experiences from birth and leading up to kindergarten are more likely to do well in school, graduate and go on to college. Gathering information from a variety of early childhood and parenting resources, FTF has developed tip sheets for parents to help them prepare their kids in the weeks leading up to and on the first
day of school. With just a few weeks remaining before the start of kindergarten, the tips range from making sure kids are caught up on all their medical and dental check-ups to practicing new routines and reducing first day anxiety. “Being prepared means that the child comes to school ready to succeed; they are meeting or exceeding typical developmental milestones for a child their age and they have a desire to learn,” said Jolene Mutchler, a preschool teacher who also is a member of the First Things First Central Pima Regional Partnership Council. By contrast, children who are not prepared when they enter school face challenges from the start, said Mutchler, who has worked with children 5 and younger for a decade. These children must first play “catch up” in order to be able to absorb the rigorous curriculum of kindergarten. They often display more acting out behavior due to frustration and require more teacher attention to manage and educate, which often detracts from their peers, Mutchler said. Parents can help by making sure their children have positive experiences in the critical years between birth and 5 years old. “Students who have spent time in quality early learning environments – whether school, childcare or home – have had learning experiences thru exploration and play that prepare their minds and hands for K-12 academics,” Mutchler said. Parents should look for early learning environments that have a low ratio of children to caregivers,

Old Tradition Imbues Mount Graham Sacred Run By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter The Mount Graham Sacred run is an event that has been taking place for more than 20 years and recently the Town of Superior had the pleasure of becoming part of the tradition. Events began with a concert in San Carlos on Tuesday, July 19, with Culture Shock, Quese IMC, DJ Shock B, Samson and the Bedonkohe Band. For Superior, they began officially the following morning at the Oak Flat campground with a traditional sweat. Wendsler Nosie, former chairman of the San Carlos Tribe, said, “The sweat is a time when we come back together and is a purity; so for the whole year we come back to the mother and ask for forgiveness and are recleansed.” He described the traditional sweat as a cleansing event that takes place before moving on to a tribal holy place, this cleansing allows them to carry sacred into the holy place. “We just can’t go there without being cleansed so that we go back to the natural earth,” he said. That morning they arrived at Oak Flats equipped with several types of wood, such as mesquite, oak and cedar, to take part in the sweat and build the sweat lodge from and immediately set to work building the lodge while the ladies soaked the Yucca plant in water for the ties that would bind the lodge together. Nosie explained, “This year is really unique because its also a blessing for the town of Superior, for the people who have really taken the position of the earth being important, life being important and how there’s got to be a brotherhood and sisterhood in order for us to have a tomorrow…so what we are going to be doing here is blessing the staff and carrying the staff into the holy place and that allows us to enter those corridors and spirituality. The staff, the feather, the stones that represent the male and female and all the requests of a better day will be blessed here and from here it will be taken to Mount Graham.” Nosie spoke about bringing the tradition back to Oak Flats and using the materials from Oak Flats as part of the sweat to take part of the place back with them. “If you go back to the 60s, 70s and 80s it was really tough for our people to come back here and I think a lot of people don’t know or understand the circumstances that revolve around reservation life,” he said. “It wasn’t until the 1980s that the tribe really had a voice… if it wasn’t for the town of Superior, for those who
believe and those who respect all people; it’s a big part of making this happen. When more people get involved and they know that there are things going wrong and they begin to make an issue of it, then just like our federal government, they step back and re-look at their policies.” Nosie spoke about the effects of the land exchange and how people are organizing around it. “That’s one of the things that the Federal government had against the tribe, was to not ever come back to the indigenous places, but as America and the town of Superior become more aware of the real issue, they begin to open up the doors…eventually they will get to the point where they understand the bigger picture,” he said. During the sweat, the males involved proceeded shirtless into the sweat lodge where they prayed and chanted in four sessions, singing traditional songs as part of the cleansing. It was asked that the press not take pictures of the actual sweat taking place, nor during any prayers as this interferes with the process. While the sweat was taking place, Theresa Nosie further explained the connection of the Apache people with Oak Flat. Having spent the morning picking acorns with her children, she sat in the shade, eating her harvest as she described the history. The ancestral territory of the San Carlos Apaches, she said, runs along the spine of Apache Leap, which creates the western boundary, eastward and south to Tucson. She swept her hands along the ridgeline and moved them off towards Devil’s Canyon and said, “This was home. They call that Devil’s Canyon…it was named by anglo people who called it Devil’s Canyon because of the Ghan.” ‘Ghan’ are the equivalent of angels and she explained that the canyon had been named as such because of the dancing Ghan which looked like devils to the anglos. “They were seen through Ghan Canyon because that is where they lived and resided.” As the Ghan are sacred, that makes Ghan Canyon or Devil’s Canyon sacred. “When you look at religion as a whole, our god is not different from yours; we just worship differently than you do. So Ghans are like angels; they are the messengers.” Theresa said. She continued detailing the history of the Apaches, the transition to the reservations and how this included the Apache people that lived in the Oak Flats areas. “This is all home land, although now
the reservation boundary is on the other side of Globe, that doesn’t mean that this was not home. All these lands are all important to the people based
on how they’ve been raised,” she said. “One of the things that the mine tends to do when they are trying to fight the See Sacred Run, Page 5 Women and children work to soak a yucca plant’s leaves to help in the construction of the sweat lodge. (Taylor Sheaffer Ritter photo)

Better come in the right duds, or it’s no bail for you! By Taylor Sheaffer Ritter I already wrote about one U.S. Marshall Sheriff that I wouldn’t cross, Rooster Cogburn…definitely wouldn’t cross him, though another actual one that would have been unwise to cross was Wyatt Earp…this man meant business and would go to any length to catch those he was a seekin’. I am fairly certain the term “let’s get the heck out of Dodge” was probably first coined by someone Mr. Earp was after, as Dodge City was his place of residence before he moved on to Tombstone, Arizona. Like Cogburn and Earp, most Cowboy Sheriffs are not the sort you want to mess with much…the very same can be said of our Albo Guzman! Ol’ Albo is going to be keeping the peace this year, as he did last, at the Night of the Cowboy celebration and if you have any brains in that bucket, you will mind your Ps & Qs. When Albo says “Jump” you better do it and he is threatening that any individual at said event that is not dressed in proper Cowboy attire (e.g. cowboy boots, dungarees, button down shirt, bolo tie, Stetson, etc.) can readily expect that they will be locked up in the jail, complete with mugshot, compliments of yours truly. To make bail, any perpetrators of THE LAW will be made to
pay the chamber $5 to get out from behind ‘em bars. I spoke with Sheriff Albo recently who confirmed that he definitely has a spicy sidekick, the lovely Dodie Doolittle; she recently told me that she is the true muscle in the operation and I am inclined to believe her. I asked Albo what he really enjoyed about the cowboy lifestyle and he told me “undoubtedly the horses, cattle and mules…without them, they wouldn’t be able to go out and bring in the wild cattle”…Wild Cattle? I had to know more seeing as I never experienced wild cattle…I mean, I have experienced ‘wild’, beyond annoyed cattle that were not stoked on being branded and these ‘wild’ cattle left me bruised, broken, covered in crap and wanting a steak. I had heard rumors of these wild cattle and much like I thought my Dad was full of it when he told me about arachnid road-kill, I was less inclined to believe this—yet, I was violently proved quite wrong about the massive arachnids that inhabit this state, so I should just learn my lesson and believe it. Plus, I don’t think Albo would send me barking up the wrong tree, would he? Maybe I don’t know him that well? So Albo told me about these wild bovines being some of the meanest suckers

alive, “bolder than rocks,” he said, and that without the help of your horses, mules and dogs, you’d have a right tricky time rounding them up. Apparently, the dogs move in to scare these unpleasant ungulates from under the bushes so that the cowboys can work them with the horses and mules. Cool Beans. Can I come next time? I asked Albo what he loves most about the cattle drives and I could tell he was excited to tell me, his voice kinda started to whistle a little when he said, “AHH, they’re awesome! Awesome! I’ve done several cattle drives for the Herron Ranch.” Frank Herron was last year’s honoree, who coincidentally told me I wasn’t allowed to take his photo since he was “a wanted man”…and gullible me, I believed him. Albo continued. “We get up at 3 a.m. and give the horses some oats and then Mable Herron makes us a huge breakfast: bacon, eggs, dutch oven biscuits and gravy, potatoes, the whole lot. She takes care of us, Mable Herron.” Yeah, I would say she does, I was getting pretty ravenous just listening to him…Dutch oven biscuits, wow! “Then we go out and do our thing and then we come back and she has a huge lunch for us and then there is plenty of
cold beer at the end,” Albo finished. So…to summarize Albo’s favorite part of the roundup is the food, right? Since by analysis of his answer alone, he spent more words describing the food than the event. Of course, I wanted more stories, but I have been instructed to thoroughly harass Dave Ericsson, the recipient of this year’s award, for stories; Albo tells me he is chock full of them. This year you can join in on the fun, celebrate the day of the cowboy and honor Dave Ericsson at the annual Noche De Vaquero celebration held by the Superior Chamber of Commerce. This year the party is taking place at Los Hermanos (sure to be a tasty slash of grub) with Pete Casillas and John Tameron emceeing the evening. The Noche De Vaquero will be taking place on Saturday, July 30, beginning at 5 p.m., with dinner starting at 6 p.m. and the dance from 8 p.m. to midnight. The fee for this worthy event is $15 per person for the dinner, $10 per person for the dance or $25 for both dinner and dance. The proceeds raise funds for the Superior Chamber of Commerce.

and the newspaper will be there to take your mugshot! There will be dinner music provided by local group, Los Romanticos; you might know of them if you’ve heard them play during the Safari campouts. This band is composed entirely of men from the Superior and Ray/ Sonora area and they have composed two songs about Superior. The gents have traveled from statewide and as far as California to perform during Night of the Cowboy. So be sure to come check out Los Romanticos. Dance tunes will be provided by the famously animated Moonshine Mafia, known for their spritely, excited performances. During the event a special movie on the traditional roundup featuring Dave Ericsson and his dynamic skills will be shown, along with various raffles and door prizes being given out. The Superior Chamber of
Commerce is still in desperate need of volunteers for setup and decorating…they are looking to transform Los Hermanos into a barn-style dance hall where it will be one heck of a hoe down! Please contact Mike McKee at 520827-0471, Tina Gutierrez at 520-827-0177 or the Superior Chamber of Commerce 520689-0200 if you are willing to volunteer or would like more information.

Superior Aquatic Center: Reasons to swim and times to do it in
There are several good reasons why a person should take up or continue swimming. Obviously, in a summer of record-breaking heat waves, it just makes good sense (and saves $$) as a way of keeping cool and it’s a great way for children to be entertained and active at the same time. Swimmers tend to build leaner, longer muscles than weight lifters, so, if you already do one, adding the other to your exercise
routine can help balance your physique. With good technique and frequent visits to the pool, swimming can give you a cardiovascular workout that rates up there with running and cycling, but without all the heat and sweat. As quoted on www.active. com, “People who consistently swim strenuously enough to be out of breath when they finish and elevate their heart rate do burn calories and lose weight,” says Jane Moore, M.D., a

be taking stuff just to become wealthy, that’s not god’s way…how can we give away something that is not ours.” Following the sweat, the staff was blessed and taken to Superior for the Cultural Route: Exchange, which included the music of the Apache, Modern Hip-Hop, Mariachi and the Route: dancing of Baile Folklorico Alma de Superior. The event started off with Miss San Carlos Apache being introduced by Superior local Roy Chavez. Following his introduction, she led the group in a moment of silence to open the event. “I am really thankful to the people of Superior, I am really grateful…probably in a few more years you will see a bigger culture exchange as people come to see the bigger picture and that we are all part ROUTE: of it whether they like it or not,” said Wendsler Nosie. ROUTE: The following morning in early hours, locals from Superior joined with ROUTE: athletes from the San Carlos reservation to participate in the Mount Graham Sacred Run which moved from Superior to Oak Flats and after a break from Oak Flats on to Old San Carlos and eventually to Mount Graham near Safford.

As she explained her connection and her culture’s connection with the land, Theresa said that there was no way for someone outside the tribe to understand the significance of Oak Flats just as she wouldn’t be able to understand the true significance of the Vatican to a Catholic; that while the acorns are part of their culture as a staple of their diet, it wasn’t just about that. “If you’re Italian, you’re gonna have pasta, same thing. It’s the same thing for the acorn with the Apaches…yes, it is a staple, but this whole area here is where people gathered food to live, so why they make it that the Apaches are here to fight for the acorn tree is not it,” she said. When asked what ‘it’ was about, she calmly said, “The whole thing is that you shouldn’t be here and you shouldn’t be digging under the earth period. You shouldn’t

Mining Brief
the balance of 2011 for the Copper Creek Project. Stephen Barley, Managing Director commented: “Redhawk continues to take critical steps to move Copper Creek towards production in the shortest possible timeframe. Although we expect important developments in the continuing exploration of this expanding mining district, the primary focus over the next six months is the increase in efforts to move Copper Creek toward the completion of a pre-feasibility study. We believe Copper Creek will be the cornerstone of significant new copper production operations in this part of Arizona and our plans are directed towards this goal.” In order for Redhawk to move forward with their development they have added six new geologists to their team in addition to their consultants. They will continue to add consultants and other professionals as needed. Recently they have completed a number of the main environmental reviews, and received the necessary Aquifer Protection Permit (APP). They are working to complete the environmental review for all biological and cultural aspects on the rest of the property to ensure that there is full access for operations. They have also completed the rights of way to provide commercial access and routes for services to the Copper Creek on seven of the ten miles of roads. Right of way completion is expected to be completed in December 2011. Redhawk has moved into a permanent office and core storage facility in San Manuel, Arizona that will accommodate the development of the Copper Creek Mine. Curis Mining – Florence Copper Project Curis Mining has hired leading water rights attorney Rita Maguire to the Florence Copper Project team. An expert on water policy and environmental quality, Maguire has been hired to help advance the company’s commitment to responsible mineral development. A long-time Arizona resident, Maguire’s career spans the private, non-profit and public sectors. Maguire served as Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources from 1993 through 2001. During her tenure as Director, Maguire represented the state’s interests in the Colorado River Basin, was a key figure in the development of the Arizona Water Bank Authority, and played a central role in Native American water rights negotiations in Arizona. As Deputy Chief of Staff for Governor Fife Symington, Maguire oversaw the operation of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the State Land Department. Tombstone Mining Tombstone Mining has renewed all of its State Exploration Permits in the Tombstone Mining District and they have been executed and finalized by the Arizona State Land Department. The renewals encompass five sections, totaling approximately 2,600 acres in the Tombstone Mining District. These sections are underlain principally by the Bisbee Group sediments and metasediments that have been
Continued from Page 1 Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit do not authorize the release of these substances into the environment. After becoming aware of the spill, Freeport McMoRan acted to mitigate environmental impacts by constructing a series of four temporary earthen check dams, which stopped the discharge only 120 feet upstream from the confluence of the San Francisco River, which was flowing at the time. In the hours and days following the spill, Freeport McMoRan also minimized the potential impact to the aquifer by recovering 93,000 gallons of discharged liquids and removing 85,000 tons of contaminated sediment from the creek bed. “The spill jeopardized the safety of the public who use Lower Chase Creek and impacted its delicate environment. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and Freeport McMoRan acted appropriately to minimize risk to the public and the environment through its quick remediation activities,” ADEQ Director Henry Darwin said. Darwin also said he was pleased that Freeport McMoRan would be conducting household hazardous waste collection events in the area as part of the settlement. “The company has taken its environmental obligations at its Morenci Mine seriously, including the protection of human health and the environment in Arizona, by offering local residents upcoming events in Graham and Greenlee counties to safely dispose of electronic waste, refrigerators, waste tires and household hazardous waste,” Darwin said. “I am appreciative of Freeport McMoRan’s quick response in cleaning up this spill,” Attorney General Tom Horne said. “Mining companies need to rigorously comply with state standards to protect the health of our citizens and our environment.” The consent judgment is subject to court approval.

Mining Brief
Continued from Page 6 highly productive in both the Tombstone Mining District and in the Warren (Bisbee) Mining District, Arizona. Resolution Copper The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act Bill received a hearing by the full House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill before the August Congressional recess. The vote could be delayed due to the current debate on the National Debt Ceiling. It was reported at a recent Superior Town Council meeting that Resolution Copper currently is employing a total of 520 employees: 135 are direct Resolution Copper Employees with the remaining 385 being employed by contractors.
Resolution
Continued from Page 1 Resolution uses from Arizona Water Company right now and that which will be needed in the future to operate the mine and processing facilities; this is the industrial water that will be used in much larger quantities, well beyond Arizona Water Company’s capacity. This is the purpose behind Resolution buying and banking CAP water. Currently, Resolution Copper has about half of their operational needs banked and plan to have all of it banked by the start of operations in 2021. Arizona Water Company has nothing to do with these purchases, nor will it, Cherry told the council. He further explained that Resolution are negotiating with Arizona Water Company on some past billing discrepancies, but it has nothing to do with supply. Cherry moved from the topic of water to the current reclamation project. He explained that Resolution is more than half-way finished with the reclamation of Magma’s old No. 3 and 4 tailings impoundments. The project should be completed within six weeks. In this $3 million project, Resolution is re-contouring and lowering the slope angles to better control drainage and erosion, and then will cap the tailings with new material that blends in better with the surrounding environment and supports the growth of vegetation, which Resolution will induce with hydro-seeding. Cherry explained that the company began on the northeast side of the tailings and has been working its way across the project to the southwest. All the work on the reclamation project has been completed using local contractors hired for this work. From this topic, Cherry swiftly moved on to detail the possible locations being considered for both the mill and tailings sites. He told the council that currently Resolution is considering the Far West site, which is southeast of Florence, along with considering the BHP-owned Pinto Valley pit site; for the sites of the mill, Resolution is also considering Pinto Valley, but additionally is considering building a state-of-art mill within Superior. He said that, obviously, there will be significant employment and tax implications for the county that ultimately houses the mill and tailings and Resolution is continuing to evaluate potential sites as part of the pre-feasibility study. As a final cap to the discussion, Cherry detailed the current standing of the mine, with 520 people currently working on the mine site, 135 of which are working for Resolution Copper. They have sunk shaft No. 10 to 4,600 feet at roughly 10ft per day and are currently on hold for digging as they are mining a station which will be completed in roughly three to four weeks. No. 9 is being stripped of all the steel housed within and is being rehabilitated; this shaft will be eventually linked to No. 10. Cherry told the council that within the next few months Resolution Copper will be holding another meeting to update the public fully on the progress of the project.

Gatorade products totaling more than $500. The second place team was San Carlos, earning around $200 in Gatorade products. Every participant and coach received a Gatorade water bottle and Tobler Combine T-Shirt; the shirts were donated by Steve Tobler of Tobler Physical Therapy in Mesa, who helped sponsor the event and were printed by Chris Ronquillo of Miner Creations in San Manuel. The boys from Superior came in a very close third, just barely missing out on the prizes. They lost out in the tug-o-war to San Carlos, who was beaten by San Manuel to win first place. The talented athletes from Ray came in fourth in the competition. Everyone had fun. Patrick Castillo, who organized the event, explained, “My staff was very happy with the attitude and the manners that the student athletes had. I really enjoyed the smiling faces and the competition.” He wanted to thank everyone for their help, but especially Billy Duarte and Coach Ryan Palmer. “I couldn’t have pulled this off without Coach Palmer,” he said. Patrick will be doing game coverage for most of the home football games in Superior this year. Following the event, participants ate burgers and hot dogs paid for by the Superior Chamber of Commerce and Superior High Football and many ended the day with a dip in the pool to cool off.
