Map of Tucson area mining activity
This maps shows the areas near Sahuarita and Patagonia where foreign mining companies have staked claims. The pink shape to the north is Hudbay's Copper World project in the Santa Ritas. The brown polygon surrounding the pink consists of public land that Hudbay has claimed.
The pink and brown area in the SE corner of the map represents predominantly public land claimed by Australian company South 32.
Both these mountain ranges are much visited for recreation and tourism. If they are both converted to mines, the local recreation and tourism industries would be seriously damaged.
