In addition to
the copper mining operations the
Johnson Camp property also includes
a decorative and structural stone
operation which produces landscape
and aggregate rock from the
overburden stockpiles at the Johnson
Camp Mine. The Company currently
leases this landscape and aggregate
rock operation to JC Rock, LLC in
exchange for a sliding scale
royalty. The Company plans on taking
over the landscape and aggregate
rock operation through its
subsidiary, Cochise Aggregates and
Materials, Inc., within the first
year following the reactivation of
the Johnson Camp Mine.
The Johnson Camp
property also includes a high purity
limestone (calcium carbonate)
deposit which has proven suitable
for use as a raw material in the
manufacturing of cement and for use
in high brightness applications such
as those required in the paper
industry.
