How will the water discharged from No. 9 shaft be put to use?
In order to prepare for shaft sinking and further exploration of the mining site, it is first necessary to remove the groundwater that has accumulated in the existing mine shaft since previous mining operations ceased. Resolution Copper has constructed a water treatment facility to prepare the water in the old mine workings before it is transported by pipeline for beneficial agricultural irrigation use. We have an agreement with the New Magma Irrigation and Drainage District for the district to blend our treated water with Central Arizona Project (CAP) water for irrigation purposes.
