ABOUT THE MARTHA OPEN PIT PROJECT
Extending the life of mining in Waihi was a key commitment OceanaGold made to the New Zealand Government when the company acquired the Waihi Operation in 2015. We have invested in an extensive exploration programme and are currently developing a significant resource through Project Martha.
We are now proposing to further extend the life of mining in Waihi through the development of the Martha Open Pit Project. The project will integrate with the proposed Waihi North Project and has three main
components:
components:
- An expansion of the existing Martha Pit
- A lift on the proposed Tailings Storage Facility (TSF3).
- An increase in volume for the proposed Northern Rock Stack (NRS).
ABOUT US
OceanaGold Corporation is a gold producer with over 30 years of operating sustainably in New Zealand. The company was founded in New Zealand, at Otago’s Macraes operation (which it continues to operate), and has built an international portfolio as one of the most progressive gold miners in the world.
OceanaGold’s acquisition of Waihi Gold in 2015 deepened the company’s Kiwi roots, enabling it to share decades of mining innovation and leadership to advance the development of Waihi’s gold and silver resources.
At Waihi, we currently operate a successful underground mining operation and are actively exploring in the region.
We also have underground and surface mines at the Macraes operation in the South Island, plus mines in the Philippines and the United States.
We are also actively closing a mine at Reefton in the South Island, having successfully and sustainably operated that mine
on Department of Conservation administered Forest Park.
Sustainability is fundamental to the way we do business.
OceanaGold has a proven track record of working within a tight regulatory framework including key conditions relating to
vibration, noise, dust, ground surface stability, flora and fauna, and water management.
We are committed to mining responsibly, managing our effects and, more broadly, ensuring this project makes a positive contribution to our host communities and society, and to the natural values of the area.
