This study estimates the socioeconomic impact of The New Mexico Copper Corporation (NMCC), wholly owned by THEMAC Resources Group Limited (THEMAC), proposal to reopen a copper mine and processing facility near Hillsboro, NM. The proposed Project would consist of an open pit mine, flotation mill, tailings impoundment, waste rock disposal areas, a low-grade ore stockpile, and ancillary facilities. As a part of the permitting process, NMCC has commissioned Arrowhead Center, Inc. of New Mexico State University to conduct a socioeconomic impact study of the proposed mine.
