The bonfire during a Sunrise Ceremony at Oak Flat burns bright beneath the mine on October 6, 2023. The existing Resolution Copper mine on the border of Oak Flat is already dewatering and contaminating the area, though the damages by the proposed new mine will be exponentially worse: done with a different mining technique, called block cave mining, which will result in a crater over two miles wide and a thousand feet deep, permanently decimating this sacred site.
