Rio Tinto bets on Trump support for long-stalled Arizona copper mine
Rio has faced a 12-year permitting battle to develop the Resolution mine, which could meet 25% of the US domestic copper needs.
Academy-award winning director, actor and environmental activist, Robert Redford, Thursday became the latest face of those opposed to the development of the massive Pebble copper-gold mining project near Bristol Bay in Alaska.
In a blog published on the Huffington Post political website, Redford claimed, “I am not against mining. I am against putting mega-mines where they don’t belong.”
