Our project will bring huge benefits, here’s how we will help Otago and New Zealand thrive:
Job Creation
The project is expected to create over 150 jobs during the construction phase and more than 200 long-term jobs during the mining operation. These jobs will likely be filled by local workers, consultants, contractors, and service providers, contributing to the local economy.
Economic Growth
The project's revenue generation—estimated at $4.4 billion over its mine life—will have a positive impact on the regional and national economies.
Investment
After an initial capital investment of $250 million, the Project will spend on average $130 million per year once operating, including wages and salaries in the order of $20 million per year.
Training
The mining industry will provide a generational opportunity for training and careers. This can complement other industries in the Otago region and beyond, fostering skill development and employment opportunities.
Infrastructure
The project will facilitate the delivery of significant infrastructure improvements. This resilience will benefit our local communities.
