Abstract:

ASARCO LLC (Asarco) and its parent Grupo México, S.A.B. de C.V (Grupo Mexico) are of the view that a renewable energy project can be viable use of un-utilized mine lands and post-mining use of disturbed mined lands that have been reclaimed. This paper examines the drivers that make mining and solar energy development a good fit and, through a case study, discusses Asarco’s experience in hosting the Avalon Solar Project, a 57-megawatt (MW) single-axis tracking solar power photovoltaic (PV) facility situated on approximately 500-acres tract of retired agricultural land, acquired for water rights purposes, in Pima County, Arizona near the Asarco’s Mission Complex. The paper also discusses the reclamation of the San Xavier tailings storage facilities and waste rock deposition area, located within the boundaries of the San Xavier District (District) of the Tohono O’odham Nation where a portion of the Asarco Mission mining operations occur. These and other closed and reclaimed tailings storage facilities and possibly waste rock deposition areas could be suitable for siting future photovoltaic (PV) solar projects.
