Augusta is a base metals company focused on advancing the Rosemont Copper deposit near Tucson, Arizona. Rosemont hosts a large copper/molybdenum reserve that would account for about 10% of US copper output once in production (for details refer to www.augustaresource.com). The exceptional experience and strength of Augusta's management team, combined with the developed infrastructure and robust economics of the Rosemont project, propels Augusta to becoming a solid mid-tier copper producer. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE MKT under the symbol AZC.
Augusta's 100%-owned Rosemont deposit is located in Pima County, approximately 50 kilometres southeast of Tucson, Arizona.The project is expected to produce 221 million pounds of copper per year, which could account for as much as 10% of US copper output, making Rosemont the fourth largest copper mine in the US.
In addition to copper, Rosemont is expected to produce significant amounts of silver and molybdenum over its 20+ year mine life. As of January 2009, Rosemont has proven and probable mineral reserves containing 546 million tons grading 0.45% copper, 0.015%molybdenum and 0.12 ounces per ton silver in sulphide ore, and an additional 70 million tons at 0.17% copper in oxide ore. Production is projected to commence in 2014.
These are the Santa Rita Mountains where Augusta wants to develop an open pit copper mine.
The Santa Rita Mountains are a recreational area and attract hikers, hunters, birders, mountain bikers, campers, etc.

Sargold Resource Corporation, same officers, different company!
Below shows some of the mess left by Sargold Resource Corp. in Sardina, Italy.
This is a cyanide laced pond above Furtei. The danger of a breach or leak is something the farmers and town residents fear with every rainstorm!
There is too much at risk to allow these same officers to turn the beautiful Santa Rita mountains to something like this!
Between 2003 and 2007, these executives were on the board of directors of Sargold Resource Corporation. Sargold owned and operated an open-pit gold mine near the small farming village of Furtei in south-central Sardinia.
InvestigativeMEDIA reviewed Sargold’s publicly available business records and traveled to Sardinia and Vancouver to conduct interviews. The reporting lead to the video documentary “Cyanide Beach”.
