It is planned for Rosemont Copper Company to develop one of the most innovative and comprehensive metal-producing field-operations in the world at this site.

What an opportunity for everyone to learn and see what this company is offering the world right here in Tucson Arizona! Simply book a tour, visit with the people working in the mine environment and you will learn that there is a sincere desire to reclaim the land in a wondrful manner rather than unattractive ugly piles of residue waste.
To protect the new growth revegetation and reclamation work effort, Rosemont Copper Company has created 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 oversee a herd of five hundred to five hundred and fifty beef cattle. The Rosemont ranch will have no dairy cows. Tom has decades of ranching experience and enjoys being a cowboy, working to keep the cattle, equipment and environment all functioning in tip top order. He knows that society needs copper to function today but he also believes that beauty in the area needs to be portected. The plans of the company accomplish this with their vision, approach, plans and promises.
Rosemont will be utilizing the latest in natural, non-confined ranching managment ways. Rosemont livestock will be raised in nature environmentally friendly manner with no hormones, no antibiotics and they will be completely range fed.
The revegetation has been planned with the work of the University Of Arizona College Of Natural Resources. They were studied to find the best plant species for the revegetation following the mining completion. The 29 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 ranching operations are necessary to assist in the process of growing and reproducing the seeds. Since seeds do better if worked into the soil so they don’t dehydrate in our desert heat or blow away in our wind so the cattle hooves can mix the seed into the soil. The munching of the cattle creates textured soil which helps keep water and nutrients.
Not only that but the eating helps to stimulate the development not only with them grazing but also by walking on weeds and eating weed flowers. Of course the manure provides benefits of fertilizing the land which helps even in the poor growth areas where a focused placement of manure increases microorganisms and ads to the soil fertility.
Rosemont Copper Mine has been actively assisting a number of local organizations with their fundraising programs. 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 hosts free weekly tours of the location 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 accomplishing this and setting the standard for the rest of the world!
