Company: Rosemont Mine Plan's OK Finishes Permitting Process [View all]

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Hudbay Minerals Inc. says its planned new open-pit
copper mine in southern Arizona mountains near Tucson has cleared the final permitting step.

The Toronto-based company said Thursday the U.S. Forest Service
approved the project's operations plan and the Rosemont Mind is
"now a fully permitted, shovel-ready copper project."

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a key water permit for the mine on March 8.

Hudbay says the mine will eventually create 500 jobs at the mine after
$1.9 billion in construction spending.
