The Waihi North Project
It’s no secret that in the mining industry, we will always need professionals and specialists to fill our roles—we need people who are skilled in inspecting and maintaining our stations as well as much more.

We acquired the Waihi Mining operations in 2015 and have been committed to extending the life of mining in Waihi.
We’ve undertaken extensive exploration in the area where we found further gold and silver resource deposits beneath Wharekirauponga—the location of the proposed Gladstone Open Pit, which we’ve named the Waihi North Project.
Benefits of our new project
- Job creation in the area
- Dviersifies the earnings of the town
- Provides professionals and specialists with well-paying jobs
- The NZ Government has acknowledged the Waihi North Project’s significant regional and national benefits.
