Augusta Resource Corporation and the Rosemont Copper Mine

Check out InvestigativeMEDIA’s 24-minute video below, which reveals the deceptive business tactics of Augusta Resource Corporation’s top business executives when they operated a gold mine in Sardinia, Italy between 2003 and 2007.

Augusta Resource owns the Rosemont Copper Company, which is seeking government permits to build a mile-wide, half-mile deep copper mine in the Santa Rita Mountains on the Coronado National Forest southeast of Tucson.

Six of Augusta’s current and former directors also served on the board of Sargold Resource Corporation. Sargold owned a gold mine near the small farming village of Furtei in southern Sardinia.
