Augusta Resource Corporate Information

Augusta Corporation History    

Augusta Resource Corporation is on the official Canadian Corporation website with the earliest date of 6/28/1999. At the hearing in Tucson conducted by Rep. Raul Grijalva, Jamie Sturgess, Augusta Resources, mentioned that Augusta had been in existance for some decades. Perhaps we get a clue of this discrepancy from another reference to Augusta Resource(s) in 1999 on a Canadian mining directory: www.index.com/Companies/a/z_Augusta.htm

Augusta Resources is currently engaged in diamond exploration in the Coronation Gulf District of Nunavut, Canada. Not to confuse you but Augusta Resource Corp. is evidently really the same group of people as Augusta Gold Corporation (now Pulse Data Inc.), Augusta Metals Inc. (now Cybercom Systems Inc.), and Augusta Corporation (AOU:CDNX).  

A January 2000 press release mentions explorations on a property in Mexico and “an interest” in one in California.  

In March, 2002 Augusta Resource Corporation announced an option and joint venture agreement with Ashton Mining (Northwest Territories) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashton Mining of Canada Inc. ("Ashton"), on the 138,000 acre BH property in Nunavut [one of the largest provinces in the central-north of Canada].  

In September 2005 the company hired Jamie Sturgess with an Arizona background as V.P. of Projects and Environment.

On March 17, 2006, it a press release on its on website stating that it is a corporation “advancing copper and other base metal assets in the U.S. southwest.”
