Tom Kay, Manager of Ranch Operations

Tom joined Rosemont Copper after operating his own ranch in the Four Corners region near Mesa Verde, Colorado for nearly 20 years. He is responsible for the daily operations of Rosemont, including property infrastructure care, ranch equipment maintenance and livestock oversight.

"You've got to love being a cowboy. You don't do it for the money. No day's the same when you're working with the cattle, fixing fences, fixing a truck, whatever needs to be done to keep the ranch running smoothly. I was involved back before a lot of the work that's been done in the region. We've got to have copper, so we might as well find ways for this to be a win-win for all involved. We need copper, but we don't need to tear everything up in the process. This is going to be a working ranch throughout. I respect their vision, their approach, their plans. I'm enthusiastic."

Karl Weiss, Site Coordinator for Geologic Database

After retiring from a career in intelligence in the United States Air Force, Karl Weiss worked in computer networking, for the Salvation Army, as a carpenter, and for a bowling alley. With degrees in geology and information resources from the University of Texas and the University of Arizona, respectively, he now works at Rosemont as a database administrator.

Rosemont Copper monitors temperature, humidity, particulates, and other environmental indicators to understand the potential effects of ongoing operations on baseline ambient air quality.
