We've been granted a public hearing on the expanded exploration at the Tyrone Mine! The state Mining and Minerals Division approved GRIP's and community requests for a public hearing for Freeport-McMoRan's application for exploration for the Emma Expansion Project at the Tyrone Mine. This 60-acre disturbance could impact local residents. A public hearing is warranted to understand the scope of potential impacts and the measures that will be used to mitigate adverse effects such as nuisance noise and lighting and how the exploration will be reclaimed.

OUR STRATEGY

GRIP works in communities, in the courts, and in the state legislature

to protect community health, our environment, and natural resources.

Together, we can secure a healthy future for everyone!

OUR WORK

GRIP serves as a watchful guardian of our environment in southwest New Mexico. We keep an eye on activities with the potential to harm community health and our environment, such as polluting mining operations, unsustainable water use, and ecologically harmful projects. In response, we bring technical, policy and legal expertise to protect our land, air, water, public lands and wildlife. By facilitating informed public participation, we engage the public in natural resource use decisions and stewardship of our natural systems.

PROTECT

We work to protect community health and our natural resources by
ensuring responsible operation and reclamation of the region’s mines, by fostering resiliency and water security in the face of the climate crisis, and by saving our special natural areas and public lands for future generations.
