As of 2023, the Canadian mining company Faraday Copper is planning underground and open mining in the area. The company purchased the Mercer Ranch for $10 million in March 2023, acquiring 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) adjacent to Copper Creek. [1]
The Copper Creek Project is a ~65 square kilometre property, 100% owned by Faraday Copper Corp. [2] The project is located in Pinal County, Arizona, approximately 80 road kilometres from Tucson, Arizona.
Copper Creek is a large, undeveloped project, which hosts multiple breccia and porphyry copper deposits. The results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) were released by the company in a news release dated May 3, 2023. The PEA [3] contemplates an open pit mining followed by an underground operation over a 30+ year mine life.
