How We Manage

Resolution Copper Mining is managed by a team of executives with a diverse and extensive background of experience. The project is co-led by the president and the project director. The president focuses on managing the activities related to health, safety and environmental compliance, the land exchange, permitting, and community relationships. The project director focuses on the technical development of the pre-feasibility study, construction of the physical plant and reclamation of the historic operations near the Town of Superior. The executive management team meets weekly to coordinate and align all project activities.

Through visible and felt leadership, the leadership team supports and ensures adherence to Resolution Copper’s Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) policy, believing it central to workforce well-being, operational care and concern for the environment, and the company’s long-range business success. The management team ensures that all employees are appropriately aware of and trained in all aspects of health, safety and environmental compliance. In particular, all employees are able to implement our comprehensive disaster management and recovery program, which helps us protect against and prepare for potential emergency situations.

The project director is responsible for the pre-feasibility studies and associated on-site activities at the Resolution Project. The vice president of pre-feasibility study manages all activities related to Resolution Copper's current stage of mining exploration, evaluation, and engineering design. Additionally, human resource management and workforce development are critical aspects of the project that require long-term focus and management.

Senior management and department heads are responsible for ensuring that the policies outlined in Resolution Copper’s HSE policy and Disaster Management and Recovery program, and in Rio Tinto's The way we work, are incorporated into daily operations.
