CERAWEEK2023: Rio Tinto keeps working to build Indigenous support for Resolution mine copper mining USA EVs batterymetals batterysupplychains environment
HOUSTON - Rio Tinto said it remains committed to building more support from an Indigenous group that opposes its Resolution mine project in Arizona, which could supply a quarter of America's copper needs depending on the outcome of a court case.
The tribe has refused to meet with Rio, saying it prefers to negotiate directly with the US government, which in 2014 approved a complex process to give Rio the land containing the copper in exchange for acreage that Rio owns nearby. PresidentSome other Apache tribes in the area support Rio's project, but the San Carlos Apache have vowed to block it. Rio said it will continue to try to win the San Carlos Apache's approval.
Rio does not plan to attend the court hearing in Pasadena, California. US government attorneys have defended the land swap in court. "Turning Oak Flat into a political bargaining chip was an assault against tribal sovereignty that never should have happened," said Grijalva, the ranking member of the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee.
