McCain was crucial backer of Superior copper mine for jobs and national security

What will be one of the largest copper mines in the United States owes its existence, in part, to Sen. John McCain.
McCain moved mountains in Congress so that the Resolution Copper Project could one day move mountains of ore out of the hillsides near Superior, 70 miles east of Phoenix.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Sen. McCain’s family,” Resolution Project Director Andrew Lye said. “He was a man true to his word, and if he felt strongly about something, he’d see it through. We are what we are today because of him and we are eternally grateful for that.”
