Martin Brook: geology associate professor on the ethics of mineral mining

Resources Minister Shane Jones recently unveiled a draft strategy for mineral mining - which is currently open for submissions. Geology associate professor Martin Brook says there needs to be a proper 'adult conversation' about the nature of mining. "Where we've got minerals that are required for manufacturing the technology and the products - we should be trying to feed those into the global supply chain as well as we can do."
