Those opposing the mining exploration project hold major concerns over the potential “poisoning of waterways, including through the leakage of arsenic, mercury and other toxic substances.”
Whaea Thelma Connors, one of the elders championing the opposition says, “Puhipuhi and its waters are ours to protect, maybe these big investors don’t understand how precious its waters are to us. Evolution Mining’s project is a threat to our waterways so we’ll be calling on these investors to tell Evolution to pull out.”
