Bill overview
This bill, the ‘Save Oak Flat From Foreign Mining Act,’ seeks to prevent the transfer of 2,422 acres of land within the Tonto National Forest, known as Oak Flat, to foreign-owned Resolution Copper Mining, LLC. It aims to repeal a provision in a previous defense authorization act that authorized this transfer, citing concerns about foreign ownership and potential environmental damage. The bill prioritizes protecting this area, considered sacred by Native American tribes, from mining activities.
