Gunnison Copper Plans New Arizona Mine for 175 Million Pounds Annual Production
Gunnison Copper is developing a second mining site in Cochise County, aiming for 175 million pounds of copper output annually over 21 years. The project is expected to enhance domestic copper supply and create over 500 permanent jobs in a rural area.

Gunnison Copper is advancing plans for a second mine in Cochise County, with a projected annual output of 175 million pounds of copper for 21 years. This initiative aims to bolster domestic copper production and reduce reliance on imports.
The company’s Johnson Camp Mine, which restarted last summer, currently produces 25 million pounds annually and is increasing its output. The new project will provide at least 500 permanent jobs and additional temporary positions during construction. It is anticipated to significantly impact the local economy, which lacks large employers, thereby addressing employment challenges in the region.
