In Arizona, the bond between mining and local communities runs deep. From the earliest days of mining, companies understood the value of fostering strong ties with the people who call these areas home.
But let’s take a step back and look beyond just the physical landscape. What truly defines a community? It’s not just about streets and buildings; it’s about the people who inhabit them. It’s about families, neighbors, and friends who all share a common vision for a better tomorrow.
Mining companies recognize that a thriving community is about more than just extracting resources—it’s about creating opportunities. It’s about providing jobs that support livelihoods, boosting the local economy, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
At the heart of it all is a commitment to investing in the well-being of our communities. Whether it’s through education initiatives, environmental stewardship, or supporting local businesses, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact.
Together, we can build not just mines, but vibrant, resilient communities that thrive.

On May 24th, the Arizona Mining Association and Florence Copper unveiled the brand new scoreboard donated to Florence High School. This generous donation came after AMA and Florence Copper heard about the need to replace the scoreboard that was originally installed in the 1970’s. The scoreboard, located on the football field, will serve football, soccer, unified sports, physical education students, and the FUSD community for years to come. “Florence Copper is proud to partner with the Arizona Mining Association to provide a new scoreboard to Florence High School,” said Stacy Gramazio, manager of communications and public affairs for Florence Copper. “We hope that this donation will be enjoyed by the students of Florence for many generations.”
On January 12th 2019, AMA Vice Chairman Jeff Fericks of Milex Technologies coordinated the training of a dozen representatives from Arizona school districts to receive emergency training from MobilizeNow. The training focused on immediate response treatment to stop blood loss, tourniquet dressing, and CPR. The event was funded through the support of the AMA Supplier’s committee and AMA mining member Resolution Copper. Each school represented at the training will receive a MobilizeNow unit containing emergency response medical supplies and devices and mobile app continued training.
