Partnering for Success
Resolution Copper's partnerships enable us to offer unique solutions to
challenges
in the areas of environmental, economic and social well-being. Whether sponsoring
an after-school environmental club for Superior students or supporting regional
economic development, we view partnerships as an integral part of the way we work within the
community.
Progress is made possible by partnering with the following civic, environmental, educational,
regional and state organizations:

Important Bird Areas – areas that have tremendous value to birds for wintering, foraging, or
nesting.

Resolution Copper's
partnership with this government agency is furthering community development programs across Superior
and the Copper Triangle region. Projects include bringing low-cost, high-speed wireless Internet

Visitors Center; and participating in/supporting a range of local initiatives focused on tourism and
workforce development.
