The proposed Resolution Copper project in Arizona remains uncertain due to a push to overturn legislation passed by the US Congress for a land-swap deal. Rio Tinto holds a 55 per cent stake in the Resolution Copper joint venture and BHP Billiton holds the remainder. A group of House of Representatives members has introduced legislation to nullify the land-swap, while Apaches object to the project as it is on land adjacent to a sacred site.
