Congratulations to the Mountain College Class of 2026.

We were honored to see Mike Kendrick, president of Climax Molybdenum, serve as keynote speaker for its commencement. His message connected Colorado’s 150-year story to the graduates stepping forward today, reminding us that progress has always come from people willing to meet big challenges with open minds, hard work and collaboration.

From Leadville’s mining roots to modern commitments to stewardship and community, Mike shared how prosperity and responsibility move forward together. Most of all, he encouraged graduates to find the problems worth solving and build the teams and solutions that will shape Colorado’s next chapter.

Congratulations, graduates. Your future is bright, and Colorado is in good hands.

We were honored to once again host the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy at the Henderson Mine. Students got a firsthand look at the scale and complexity of our operations while exploring the critical connection between responsible resource management and national defense. We are proud to welcome this group each year in support of developing the next generation of national security leaders.

We’re proud to support the Colorado School of Mines and their work to grow the next generation of mining engineers! It’s always exciting to see the hands-on learning and real-world experience shaping the future of our industry.

Big thank you to , Henderson Mine and Mill for their generous support of the Edgar Experimental Mine!
 
We're excited to share they've donated a main ventilation fan - matching the one currently in use at the mine, which will serve as a critical backup to support ongoing operations, safety and hands-on student learning.
 
Shout out to some stellar student workers .hiro.tsuka88, & who traveled to pick up the fan and bring it to the Edgar this week.
 
We're grateful for strong industry partnerships that directly enhance the student experience and future of mining engineering!

Leadville Boom Days 2025 kicked off with high-altitude energy and deep mining roots — and we were proud to be part of it every step of the way!

From the mining contests that showcased strength, skill and tradition, to the Climax Molybdenum float rolling through town, we honored Leadville’s rich past while celebrating a bright future.

It’s always an honor to sponsor and support Leadville’s biggest weekend. Thank you to everyone who made it unforgettable!

Congratulations to Colorado School of Mines for taking second place in the 2025 International Mine Rescue Competition.

Sponsored by Freeport, the team tackled a series of intense, real-world mine rescue scenarios over three days, including underground problem-solving, medical response and technical operations.

We are proud to support future mining professionals through initiatives like the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation’s recent $1 million contribution to the Colorado School of Mines’ Edgar Experimental Mine program, where half of the competition was hosted. That funding helps support hands-on learning opportunities beyond the classroom, giving students practical experience in a safe and controlled environment.

Climax Molybdenum’s Henderson mine recently received the award for overcoming unique challenges by the Colorado Mining Reclamation Board at the annual Reclamation Awards. 🏆

The award is in recognition of a remediation project dismantling what was once a ventilation tunnel for Henderson mine in the 1960s. Climax employees worked together using a helicopter to safely remove the three, 5,000-pound steel rings and fly them to the bottom of the mountain for recycling.

Thank you to the Colorado Mining Association and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, & Exploration (SME) for the honor and to our employees for working safely and making a positive impact on our community. Learn more about the project and its history here: https://tinyurl.com/ej3t3jt4.
