  1. HT @Lilith111 - Judge overturns right-of-way for #CopperWorld across #SantaRita Experimental Range

    Sep 19, 2024
    by Paul Ingram

    "A judge in Maricopa County ruled that state officials violated open meeting law when it approved the value of a right-of-way for the Copper World mine project, located 35 miles southeast of #Tucson in the #SantaRitaMountains.

    "Owned by the Toronto-based Hudbay Inc., Copper World has faced a barrage of criticisms and legal challenges from #environmental groups, who have argued the open pit mine would seriously affect the Santa Ritas and the #SantaCruzRiver. Proponents have argued the mine's $1.7 billion investment will generate nearly $250 million in property taxes, and create more than 400 direct jobs and up to 3,000 indirect jobs in #arizona
    [...]

    "#Hudbay originally sought to build the #RosemontMine, planning a half-mile deep pit across nearly 2,500 acres in the Santa Rita Mountains. However that effort faced fierce opposition from environmental groups who argued the mine and its tailings in the #CoronadoNationalForest would bury thousands of acres within the range of the endangered northern #jaguar and the #ocelot, as well as nearly a dozen other #endangered and critical plants and animals."
