Rosemont’s questionable PR tactics exposed (again)

In an article in this week’s Tucson Weekly, Rosemont Copper Company is called to task for misrepresenting the support of community groups and organizations on its website.

The article identified several high profile organizations that are listed by Rosemont as “partners” in its effort to develop a massive open-pit copper mine in the Santa Rita Mountains on the Coronado National Forest south of Tucson.

However, when contacted by the Tucson Weekly, the organizations and groups listed by Rosemont as partners “almost without exception” had no opinion on the mine and some stated they had no connection with the company “whatsoever”.

This latest revelation in deceptive public relations follows a string of other unethical PR practices by Rosemont that are highlighted in the article.
