Resolution Copper is moving into another development phase in Arizona, with implications for BHP's long-term copper portfolio. The project announced the investment on November 5, 2026, in a PR Newswire release issued by Resolution Copper.

Development work broadens

The program supports feasibility studies and final design engineering for material-handling equipment in both mine shafts. It also includes new water treatment facilities, exploration drilling, underground development and production equipment, plus long-lead electrical components.

Resolution Copper said the program will add 50 roles across mining, geotechnical and geological work, engineering and project services. The spending is additional to 500 million US dollars of preliminary expenditure announced on March 16, 2026.

BHP retains a strategic stake

Resolution Copper Mining is owned 55 percent by Rio Tinto's subsidiary Resolution Copper Company and 45 percent by BHP Copper, a BHP subsidiary. The deposit near Superior lies between 5,000 and 7,000 feet underground and could become one of the largest copper mines in the United States.

The project remains a development asset rather than an operating mine. The new work is intended to advance engineering and underground preparations toward a future investment decision, keeping execution, approvals and capital requirements central to the long-term outlook.
