Vancouver-based Augusta Resource Corporation is a base metals company focused on advancing the Rosemont copper-moly deposit near Tucson, Arizona.

Rosemont currently hosts a large opper/molybdenum reserve that may account for about 10% of US copper output once in production in late 2011. The exceptional experience and strength of Augusta’s management team, combined with the developed infrastructure and robust economics of the Rosemont project, will propel Augusta to become a solid mid-tier copper producer within the next four years.

Augusta is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE Alternext under the symbol AZC, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol A5R.
