Resolution Copper is moving into the next phase of reclamation plans for the West Plant site. The plans include removing the historic Magma smelter complex in order to make the area safe and to complete environmental improvements. This work is part of ongoing land reclamation that started in 2005 to clean up historic mining operations.
“This work demonstrates our commitment to health, safety and the beautiful environment we all share,” said Andrew Lye, project director, Resolution Copper. “We have already spent more than $40 million on land reclamation work at this site making it better than we found it, and this project will add to that total.”
