How is Augusta addressing environmental concerns?
Our environmental policy incorporates pollution prevention goals through application of such concepts as avoid, confine, and contain all potential pollution sources at all stages of the mine development using best available technology. While it is true that mining in the past has left its mark on the landscape, today there is a different public expectation – and a higher level of technology available to avoid and mitigate environmental impact. We are committed to using sophisticated technology in the smallest footprint practicable. We know we will need to demonstrate these commitments to environmental protection at every step in the process, as a way to earn and retain the public credibility and trust required to operate a modern mine in Arizona.
