New Zealand residents protest a proposed gold mine over environmental concerns, with a judicial review set for September.
Residents of Golden Bay, New Zealand, are protesting a proposed gold mine at Sams Creek by Australian firm Siren Gold, citing environmental risks to the Te Waikoropupū Springs and Arthur Marble Aquifer.
Activists have locked themselves to drilling equipment, opposing exploration drilling they say lacks community consent and poses threats from cyanide, seismic activity, and heavy rainfall.
Critics challenge the validity of the mining permit application, while Siren Gold maintains the project is in early stages, requires years of additional approvals, and remains committed to responsible development and dialogue.
A judicial review is scheduled for September.
