Rosemont Copper offers tours to all that are interested in seeing the creation of a copper mine planned for the land area just a short distance outside of Tucson. There You will see cattle roaming, detailed plans of how the mine is going to be developed with minimum disruption of the areas surrounding beauty.
It is planned for Rosemont Copper to develop the most advanced and comprehensive metal-producing operations in the world at this location. They will set advanced environmental standards for the resource care, water quality and land use which will establish the bar for the balance of the global communities to follow when they are mining the necessary natural resources to allow the world to work.
What an chance for everyone to learn and experiencewhat this development is bringing the world locally here in Tucson Arizona! Just reserve a tour, visit with the employees working in the mine area and you will experience that there is a sincere desire to reclaim the land in a beautiful manner rather than unattractive ugly piles of residue waste.
To assist in the new grass revegetation and reclamation work effort, Rosemont Copper Company has established a 30,000 acre working cattle ranch about thirty miles south of Tucson, Arizona. The ranch operation is professionally managed by Tom Kay and he will control a herd of five hundred to 550 beef cattle. The Rosemont ranch has no dairy cows. Tom has decades of ranching experience and excells at being a cowboy, working to keep the cattle, equipment and environment all working in tip top order. He knows that we need copper to function today but he also believes that beauty in the region needs to be maintained. The developmental plans of the company accomplish this with their vision, approach, plans and promises.
Rosemont will be utilizing the latest in natural, non-confined ranching managment ways. Rosemont cattle will be raised in native environmentally friendly conditions with no hormones, no antibiotics and they will be completely range fed.
The revegetation has been developed with the work of the University Of Arizona College Of Natural Resources. They were performed to find the most suitable plant species for the revegetation following the mining operation. The twenty-nine seeds selected have a resilient and productive system and are typically available from large-scale commercial seed vendors and adhere to the NRCS’s ecological site description.
The cattle operations are critical to assist in the process of growing and reproducing the seeds. Since seeds do better if worked into the soil so they don’t parch in our desert heat or blow away in our wind so the cattle hooves can press the seed into the soil. The eating of the cattle creates textured soil which helps retain water and nutrients.
Not only that but the grazing helps to stimulate the growth not only with them grazing but also by stomping weeds and eating weed flowers. Of course the manure provides benefits of fertilizing the land which helps even in the poor growth areas where a concentration of manure increases microorganisms and ads to the soil fertility.
Rosemont Copper Mine has been actively assisting a number of local organizations with their fundraising activities. They have helped in a number of activities such as supplying not only funding assistance but also providing the cow for the Cienega Rotary “Cow Pie Bingo” event where funds contribute in both local and international projects.
Rosemont Copper offers free weekly tours of the site that include visits to the geology exploration camp, the historic mining areas, the old quarry, and the weather station. Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 to noon. This tour will be not only a great opportunity to see the Arizona Mountains and desert but also to learn about the value of copper to our development. Without copper we probably would not have electricity or would not have a space program. It’s critical to mine this mineral in the most environmentally friendly way possible and Rosemont Copper Mine is working toward doing this and setting the standard for the rest of the world!
