from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

A small West Coast town might be about to strike gold again. Canadian mining company Rua Gold has discovered a 2.5 kilometre stretch of gold and other minerals at Auld Creek near Reefton - with plans announced to fast-track an underground mine. The company aims to produce 60,000 ounces of gold annually by 2028. Vice-president Simon Delander says they're also going after the antimony. He explained that's a strategic mineral - and there's lots of interest in Japan and the US. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
