Show Notes

A Wellington company wants to prospect for gold near a nature reserve.

A local family has applied for permits to explore for gold and other minerals directly next door to Zealandia eco-sanctuary. 

Quicksand Limited Director Travis Mackay says they've got a permit for panning at the moment. 

He says they're exploring non-destructive, non-toxic methods. 

Mackay says they don't want people coming to the area thinking they can do heavier riskier operations.
