Aus mining company plays down concerns

The Australian company which has approval to buy farmland in Canterbury says it has no immediate plans to mine it. The Overseas Investment Office has signed off on the purchase of more than 31 hectares of land to mining company Bathurst Resources. It says the new land is next to their current mine, so it can secure access and improve infrastructure ahead of long term plans to expand. Reporter Charlotte Cook spoke to Bathurst Resources chief executive Richard Tacon.
