New Talisman says river discoloration not related to its activities
New Zealand-based New Talisman Gold Mines said on Monday that the discoloration of the Ohinemuri river in the Karangahake gorge is not related to any of its activities.
On Friday, a section of the river became discoloured with sediment. According to the mining company, the Waikato Regional Council (WRC) believes the material was flushed into the river from old disused workings in the conservation park.
The discolouration has dissipated and the water in the area of the source appeared to have cleared, reported New Talisman in a statement to the New Zealand and Australian stock exchanges.
“While we will leave the WRC to determine the cause of the material entering the river, New Talisman and its mining contractor Terra Firma have previously engaged with the Department of Conservation (DoC) to assist with making the many historic and disused tunnels in the wider area secure to prevent members of the public entering and endangering themselves.
“We will renew our efforts with an offer of services to both DoC and the WRC to secure where possible the various historic tunnels and workings,” stated the company.
New Talisman in late June renewed its long-term access arrangements with the DoC for the Talisman mine. This was the final hurdle in allowing the company to progress Talisman mine to production.
The Talisman mine is the second biggest historic gold producer in New Zealand with production of one-million ounces of gold and three-million ounces of silver.
