We are pleased to share that an Expert Panel has made a final decision to grant approvals for the Waihi North Project.

This project displays OceanaGold’s ability to continue to support economic growth, create high-paying jobs, generate royalties, support communities, and boost exports at the same time as making a positive contribution to the environment.

OceanaGold will now commence the next phase of the Waihi North Project. Several conditions are attached to the project, most of which align with our current operating practices. Our immediate priority is finalising Management Plans that outline how we will meet these conditions. At the same time, we will continue work on the services trench to allow water to be moved between the Willows Road site and our existing Water Treatment Plant which will be upgraded. Construction will also begin on a surface infrastructure area on the farm on Willows Road to support the future commencement of tunnelling works.

The final decision and related conditions and technical documents can be viewed here: Fast-track
