The AMA believes these are important also. This is why we strive to promote sound and reasonable public policy that supports the sustainability of a safe and responsible mining industry, which continues to support jobs and provide economic benefits to the state and its communities.

On May 24th, the Arizona Mining Association and Florence Copper unveiled the brand new scoreboard donated to Florence High School. This generous donation came after AMA and Florence Copper heard about the need to replace the scoreboard that was originally installed in the 1970’s. The scoreboard, located on the football field, will serve football, soccer, unified sports, physical education students, and the FUSD community for years to come. “Florence Copper is proud to partner with the Arizona Mining Association to provide a new scoreboard to Florence High School,” said Stacy Gramazio, manager of communications and public affairs for Florence Copper. “We hope that this donation will be enjoyed by the students of Florence for many generations.”
On January 12th 2019, AMA Vice Chairman Jeff Fericks of Milex Technologies coordinated the training of a dozen representatives from Arizona school districts to receive emergency training from MobilizeNow. The training focused on immediate response treatment to stop blood loss, tourniquet dressing, and CPR. The event was funded through the support of the AMA Supplier’s committee and AMA mining member Resolution Copper. Each school represented at the training will receive a MobilizeNow unit containing emergency response medical supplies and devices and mobile app continued training.
