Just returned from seeing the movie "Cyanide Beach" and Augusta should NEVER be allowed to dig a hole for an outhouse!

Green Valley News editor Dan Shearer devotes his Sunday column to InvestigativeMEDIA’s documentary “Cyanide Beach” and states: “This documentary…does raise questions that Rosemont must address if it intends to move forward with integrity.”

“Cyanide Beach” will have two screenings on Monday, Sept. 17. The 24-minute documentary will be shown at 10 a.m. at the Tubac Community Center and at 6:30 p.m. at the Quail Creek Crystal Ballroom. The film will also be shown at 7 p.m., Sept. 29 in Patagonia at the Tin Shed. More screenings are being scheduled. Please see “events” for more information.

“Cyanide Beach” played to a packed house Sept. 5 and 6 at the Desert Sky Cinema in Sahuarita. More than 800 people have seen the documentary at two screenings in Tucson and two in Sahuarita.

(There were about 200 people at the screening tonight.)

The multimedia project focuses on Augusta Resource Corporation, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based speculative mining company that wants to build a massive open pit copper mine in the environmentally-sensitive Santa Rita Mountains on the Coronado National Forest 35 miles south of Tucson, AZ.

InvestigativeMEDIA reviewed thousands of pages of financial documents and conducted interviews in the United States, Canada and Italy to document the business history of Augusta’s key executives.

The probe uncovered a tangled history of cease trade orders, an insider trading settlement agreement, stock exchange delistings, personal and corporate bankruptcies, false disclosure statements to regulators and an abandoned Sardinian gold mine that is creating serious, ongoing environmental problems.


Sardinia needs $20,000,000 to clean up the cyanide lake left behind along with the rusted equipment, a total mess.

Las Cienegas National Conservation Area

Augusta owns the Rosemont Copper Company. Rosemont is seeking government permits to build what could become one of the largest copper mines in the United States, producing 240 million pounds of copper annually for approximately 21 years.

The mile-wide, half-mile deep mine would dump waste rock and mine tailings on more than 3,000 acres of the Coronado National Forest and destroy much of a watershed that provides runoff to a rare, shallow Sonoran Desert aquifer beneath the federally-protected Las Cienegas National Conservation Area.
