Doing Business With Us

Resolution Copper relies on a number of suppliers of both goods and services. For example, we currently contract with outside companies to supply several hundred skilled contractors who supplement and strengthen Resolution Copper's workforce. We also take into account the impact our operation can have on local businesses, and in 2007 the company distributed nearly $8 million in direct payments to local suppliers.

Resolution Copper expects to participate in a fair and competitive marketplace, and to provide a fair evaluation and selection process that is applied consistently to all prospective suppliers of goods and services. Resolution Copper's procurement systems require that contracting opportunities are publicized to suppliers deemed capable of meeting our requirements.

Awards are made to those suppliers who are able to meet our business units' stated needs and required standards, and who make the best offers considering all relevant factors, including health, safety, environment, quality, service, competitive pricing, technical abilities and consistency with our values.
