Scary to think of all that land being available for mining companies to buy - especially since they are already targeting it! #2precious2lose #2precious2mine

While I get it - greed is the driver - it really is so hard to understand why anyone thinks it's good to sell off, to develop, Conservation Land! If you love these places, the flora and fauna that call them home, have your say on the Conservation Amendment Bill! Closes July 2 #2precious2lose

This is a dark time for Aotearoa, and for our environment; we have a Government that has happily put money before anything - before the environment, before community.

Oceana Gold submitted their substantive application last month - it was returned as 'incomplete' and as yet they have not reapplied. When they do, it could all move very fast - and all without any public input at all. Here is a brief overview of the process it will follow:

Today we celebrate the beautiful corner of the earth that we are lucky enough to live in, and we acknowledge our responsibility to do all we can to ensure it doesn't get destroyed by gold mining! Happy Earth Day Te Tara o te Ika a Māui!

So, this is the mining permit situation here on Te Tara o te Ika a Māui the Coromandel and Hauraki right now... 9 Active Exploration permits, 3 exploration applications, 1NAA (contestable area), 3 Mining Permits (including Martha at Waihi)... nearly 60,000hectares under active Exploration!

Eww... these mining companies are crawling all over Aotearoa - We have a lot here, all hunting gold, but looking at the maps of the Country at the New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals site they really are coming in thick and fast - particularly those Canadian ones!
