Rosemont Copper Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and 
draft ROD were released on December 13, 2013. The FEIS and ROD describe 
the decisions made with regard to the Rosemont Project to (1) select 
the ``Barrel'' alternative and approve the mine plan of operations once 
amended, and (2) to amend the 1986 Forest Plan by creating a new 
management area located around the mine site. The objection period 
commenced on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 and later closed on Friday, 
February 14, 2014. The ROD selected Alternative 4--Barrel Alternative 
(referred to in the ROD as the ``selected action''). The proposed 
project will be conducted on approximately 995 acres of private land 
owned by Hudbay Minerals; 3,670 acres of Forest Service lands; and 75 
acres of Arizona State Land Department land. The operation will produce 
copper, molybdenum and silver concentrates.
