Is The Gold Worth it?

From Nights, 8:10 pm on 26 January 2022

We follow up on our interview from last night with Patrick Phelps about the extension of OceanNAGold's mine at Wharekirauponga  in the Coromandel .  Lots and lots of you were moved to get in touch - in fact it's been a while since we've had so much correspondence following an interview. One of those who emailed was Catherine Delahunty, Chaiperson Coromandel Watchdog of Hauraki.  We'll speak to Catherine and hear the concerns her group has about the proposed mine.
