Mission

Our overflight examined both proposed and active mining projects, including the open-pit San Manuel Mine, the operational Gunnison Copper Project and the Johnson Camp copper mine, which the Canadian-based operator, Excelsior, hopes to reopen.

EcoFlight's partners are working to ensure mining is done responsibly to protect communities and the environment in Arizona.
