Rosemont Copper Company gives tours to all that are curious about seeing the development of the copper mine coming to the region area just near outside of Tucson. You will see livestock roaming, in-depth plans of how the mine will be created with minimum disruption of the areas surrounding beauty.
It is planned for Rosemont Copper Company to make one of the most advanced and comprehensive metal-producing operations in the world at this area. They will set progressive environmental standards for the resource conservation, water conservation and land use which will set the bar for the rest of the countries to adhere to when they are producing the necessary resources to allow the world to advance.
What an chance for everyone to learn and see what this development is bringing the world right here in Tucson! Simply book a tour, interact with the people working in the mine area and you will learn that there is a true desire to reclaim the land in a beautiful manner rather than scarred ugly piles of rock waste.
To facilitate the new grass revegetation and reclamation desire effort, Rosemont Copper Company has established a 30,000 acre working cattle ranch about thirty miles south of Tucson, Arizona. The ranch operation is professionally operated by Tom Kay and he will superivise a herd of 500 to 550 beef cattle. The Rosemont ranch has no dairy cows. Tom has decades of ranching experience and excells at being a cowboy, working to keep the cattle, equipment and wonders all functioning in tip top order. He knows that society needs copper to function today but he also knows that beauty in the region needs to be portected. The operational plans of the company accomplish this with their vision, approach, plans and promises.
Rosemont Copper will be utilizing the most current in natural, non-confined ranching managment ways. Rosemont cattle will be raised in nature environmentally friendly operations with no hormones, no antibiotics and they will be completely range fed.
The revegetation has been developed with the assistance of the University Of Arizona College Of Natural Resources. They were performed to identify the most suitable plant species for the revegetation following the mining completion. The twenty-nine seeds selected have a resilient and productive system and are currently available from large-scale commercial seed vendors and meet 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 worked into the soil so they don’t dry out in our desert heat or blow away in our wind so the cattle hooves can press the seed into the soil. The grazing of the cattle creates textured soil which helps keep water and nutrients.
Not only that but the grazing helps to stimulate the development not only with them grazing but also by stomping weeds and chewing up weed flowers. Of course the manure creates benefits of fertilizing the land which helps even in the poor growth areas where a focused placement of manure increases microorganisms and supplements the soil fertility.
Rosemont Copper has been actively assisting a number of local organizations with their fundraising activities. They have benefited 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 assist in both local and international projects.
Rosemont Copper Company 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 great 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 way possible and Rosemont Copper Mine is working toward doing this and establishing the standard for the rest of the world!
