1 Includes: (i) 3,883,900 common shares purchased on the open market between July 23, 2010 and August 18, 2010, (ii) 10,905,590 common shares (the “ Subscription Shares ”), (iii) 5,452,795 common shares issued on March 18, 2011 upon the exercise of purchase warrants (the “ Augusta Warrants ”), (iv) 2,816,300 common shares purchased through block trades executed on February 25, 2013, February 28, 2013 and April 16, 2013 and (v) 122,334,523 common shares purchased pursuant to Hudbay’s offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Augusta not already owned by Hudbay. The Subscription Shares and the Augusta Warrants were issued by Augusta Resource Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of Canada (“ Augusta ” or the “ Issuer ”), to HudBay Minerals Inc. (“ Hudbay ”) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscription Agreement ”), dated August 23, 2010, between Augusta and Hudbay. The Subscription Agreement provided for the sale to Hudbay of 10,905,590 Units (the “ Units ”) for a purchase price of C$2.75 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share of Augusta and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Augusta. Each whole Warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share of Augusta at an exercise price of C$3.90 at any time during the 18 months following closing of the transaction (subject to early expiry of the Augusta Warrants in certain circumstances).

This Amendment No. 6 (this “ Amendment ”) amends the Schedule 13D filed by Hudbay on August 27, 2010 (the “ Schedule 13D ”) and amended on March 18, 2011, April 17, 2013, February 10, 2014, June 23, 2014 and July 17, 2014, with respect to the common shares of Augusta. The common shares of Augusta to which this Amendment relates are held directly by Hudbay. This Amendment is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended, in light of recent events.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is supplemented as follows:

(a)-(b) Pursuant to the terms of its offer dated February 10, 2014, as amended (the “ Offer ”), to purchase, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer, other than any common shares of the Issuer held directly or indirectly by Hudbay and its affiliates, Hudbay has taken up the additional 6,100,762 common shares of the Issuer that were validly deposited under the Offer, which represent approximately 4% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer.

Including the additional 6,100,762 common shares of the Issuer taken up under the Offer, Hudbay owns 145,393,108 common shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer.
