Around the Company in Pictures: Bisbee Mine Opens for Summer Youth Program

Submitted by mboyle on

August 8, 2025 - This summer, the gates of Freeport’s Bisbee operation reopened – not to explore new deposits, but to spark curiosity in the next generation through a series of educational events with the Boys & Girls Club of Bisbee and the Copper Queen Library.

In the kickoff event, a group of kids – guided by Freeport employees – stepped into the role of scientists for a day, exploring the now-closed mine and collecting real-world data on vegetation, erosion and other key aspects of mine reclamation.
