Opponents of the Copper World mining project in the Santa Rita Mountains have placed a lien on 160 acres of state land that mine developer Hudbay Minerals Inc. purchased to keep the land from being developed for now.
The lien amounts to a legal cloud, preventing the land from being used while a lawsuit by Save the Scenic Santa Ritas to overturn the land sale is pending, said John Dougherty, the group’s director. The group placed the lien at the Pima County Recorder’s Office.
