AZ SCR1043

Concurrent resolution expressing legislative support for the proposed Rosemont Copper Project, a mining operation on a 15,000-acre site in southern Pima County.

Projects $15 billion in local revenues over the mine's lifetime, with direct employment of over 400 workers and an estimated 1,700 indirect jobs.

Anticipates $404 million increase in tax revenues for local governments over the mine's operational period.

Water recycling technologies will use less than half the water of traditional mines, with groundwater replacement through Central Arizona Project water purchases.

Mine footprint will be less than half the size of other Pima County mines while maintaining a 30,000-acre working cattle ranch for revegetation and reclamation efforts.
