Elected officials in southern Arizona are once more voicing concerns over Copper World, a controversial mine proposed less than 30 miles south of the Tucson metro by Toronto-based mining company, Hudbay Minerals.

The Pima County Board of Supervisors has sent a slew of letters to investors, including the Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Corporation, which owns a 30% stake in Copper World after committing $600 million to the joint venture earlier this year.
