I don't hold out for Waihi's survival in the sense you see today. If the price stays high, which seems a certainty given (for example) the $ printing and the central bank gold buying, OceanaGold will have no problem raising funds to expand.

Ethical mining? Among the investors, whatever they can get away with as long as there's a profit. Mining is always unethical from one perspective (environment), even when it's not open-cast; chemicals galore and the surface damage. But the problem is modern society is dependent on the products of mining. The quandary will always be there. There's a new unethical element. The products of mining (esp. silver) are critical for the brave new automated control-grid world being planned.

But then the gold is necessary if we're ever going to get rid of the fake fraud fiat currency we've been subjected to for the last century.

Hmmm...perhaps we shld see where DOC is supposedly saving the native wildlife and isn't, and dropping ridiculous amounts of 1080 into our waters, streams, and all over the land and see if it coincides with where we have all sorts of resources? NZ is very wealthy in terms of what we have, oil,gas, minerals, gold, lots of resources. Will the land be so toxic we will be moved off the land and into 15 minute cities?
