Rosemont Copper Company offers tours to all that want to see the development of a copper mine planned for the land area just a short distance outside of Tucson.  You will see livestock roaming, in-depth plans of how the mine is going to be made with minimum disruption of the mountains surrounding beauty.

It is planned for Rosemont Copper to develop one of the most advanced and environomentally friendly metal-producing operations in the world at this location.  They will set progressive environmental standards for the resource conservation, water quality and land reclamation which will establish the bar for the balance of the global communities to adhere to when they are mining the vita resources to allow the world to work.

What an adventure for you to learn and see what this company is bringing the world right here in Tucson Arizona! Just book a tour, visit with the people working in the mine area and you will learn that there is a sincere desire to reclaim the land in a lovely manner rather than scarred ugly piles of rock waste.

To protect the new grass revegetation and reclamation desire effort, Rosemont Copper has created a 30,000 acre working cattle ranch about thirty miles south of Tucson, AZ. The ranching operation is professionally operated by Tom Kay and he will superivise a herd of 500 to five hundred and fifty beef cattle. The Rosemont ranch has no dairy cows. Tom has decades of ranching experience and enjoys being a cowboy, working to keep the cattle, equipment and beauty all working in tip top order.  He knows that we need copper to function today but he also knows that beauty in the region needs to be maintained.  The plans of the company accomplish this with their vision, approach, plans and promises.

Rosemont Copper will be using the latest in natural, non-confined ranching techniques. Rosemont livestock will be raised in native environmentally friendly operations with no hormones, no antibiotics and they will be completely range fed.

The revegetation has been studied with the work of the University Of Arizona College Of Natural Resources.  They were done to find the most suitable plant species for the revegetation following the mining process.  The 29 seeds selected have a resilient and productive system and are currently available from large-scale commercial seed vendors and adhere to the NRCS’s ecological site description.

The cattle operations are important to assist in the process of growing and reproducing the seeds.  Since seeds do better if incorporated into the soil so they don’t dehydrate 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 capture water and nutrients.

Not only that but the chewing helps to stimulate the growth not only with them grazing but also by stomping weeds and digesting weed flowers.  Of course the manure provides benefits of fertilizing the land which helps even in the poor growth areas where an abundance of manure increases microorganisms and supplements the soil fertility.

Rosemont Copper Mine has been actively assisting a number of local charieites with their fundraising programs.  They have helped in a number of activities such as supplying not only financial assistance but also providing the cow for the Cienega Rotary “Cow Pie Bingo” event where funds help 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 beautiful 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 important to mine this mineral in the most environmentally friendly manner possible and Rosemont Copper Mine is working toward accomplishing this and setting the standard for the rest of the world!
