Florence Copper is a unique in-situ copper recovery project in Florence, Arizona that will create close to 500 jobs for Pinal County and $68.4 million in local tax revenues for the Town of Florence. Not a mine in the traditional sense of the term, Florence Copper is an in-situ (in place) recovery project that seeks to dissolve copper minerals from an underground deposit by introducing water with a lowered-pH (making it slightly acidic). This low-PH, water-based solution dissolves the copper and allows it to be pumped to the surface through a continuous loop water treatment system. Florence Copper is currently operating its Production Test Facility and advancing in the permitting process for commercial operations.
