Corporate Contribution Program Overview 

Overview

Rosemont Copper owns the Rosemont Ranch on the remote east side of the Santa Rita Mountains, a site which has had mining for more than 100 years. Rosemont Copper is committed to development that benefits southern Arizona today while supporting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, both economically and environmentally. Rosemont will continue to operate as a working cattle ranch, with public recreational access in separate areas throughout the life of the mine, and beyond. Following mine closure the land will remain open space in perpetuity.
