Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Project Reclamation
Environmental stewardship is a core value to New Mexico Copper. Employees are at the center of our communities, underscoring our commitment to being good neighbors and community partners.
A strict reclamation and closure plan is under State and Federal review. It meets performance standards and strict requirements of State and Federal environmental and reclamation regulations.
In addition, the plan will stabilize the site against erosion; return it to the current land uses of wildlife habitat, livestock grazing, and recreation; and develop a self-sustaining ecosystem. Before project construction begins, the Company will post a reclamation bond to ensure sufficient funds are available to reclaim the site when the operation is finished.
