Rosemont offers public tours of copper mine area
The ad in the Arizona Daily Star is simple black type on the white background, but it grabbed my attention. Rosemont Copper is offering tours to the public of the proposed copper mine in the Santa Rita mountains.
The tours will be offered from now through July, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9 am to noon. They are limited to 10 people.
The tours will visit the geology exploration camp, historic mining areas, the old quarry, weather station, and the future copper pit location.
The ad states that "Rosemont's plans for reclamation, re-vegetation and water conservation will make this a world-class facility."
To register for the tours, call 520-343-1730.
