A Native American group is seeking to overturn a US court ruling regarding Rio Tinto's Arizona copper mine. The group is challenging the decision that allowed the mining project to proceed despite concerns about its potential impact on sacred tribal lands.
The dispute centers around Resolution Copper, a joint venture between Rio Tinto and BHP Group, which aims to develop one of the largest copper mines in the United States. The mine is located in the Tonto National Forest, an area that holds significant cultural and religious importance for several Native American tribes.
