US EditionUS judge halts plan to transfer Oak Flat land for contested Arizona copper mine
- A U.S. District judge halted the federal government’s plan on May 9, 2025, to transfer Oak Flat land in Arizona for a large copper mine.
- This action follows a decades-long dispute, including a 2014 congressional land transfer and lawsuits citing religious rights by Apache groups.
- Native American groups consider Oak Flat a sacred site called Chi’chil Bildagoteel, while Resolution Copper highlights the mine's regional economic benefits and copper's role in green technologies.
- Judge Steven Logan noted that the injunction preserves the current situation, with the considerations strongly supporting Apache Stronghold. The group expressed their appreciation that the judge halted the land transfer for now.
- The injunction will remain until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether to hear the appeal, sustaining a legal conflict between religious rights and copper demand linked to energy transition.
