Freeport (formerly Phelps Dodge) owns a bunch of acreage in Copper Basin and has contemplated opening a copper mine. If you take the Copper Basin Road up to Prescott, you drive by their area, all surrounded with fence. Apparently, they are facing some pretty stiff resistance from folks in Prescott who do not want a mine anywhere nearby.
No idea why Phelps Dodge would have anything to do with any of the desert dirt scams in Skull Valley.
