What did happen in Northland? Enterprise Northland (now Northland Inc) on Wed 22nd Feb 2012 released a media release about a 28-page booklet designed to lure overseas mining companies to investigate mineral opportunities in Northland. This booklet was used and launched at an international convention and trade show in Canada. Far North Mayor Wayne Brown, chairman of the Explore Northland Minerals Group that has compiled the ‘Explore Northland Minerals’ booklet, says it’s designed to preview the soon-to-be published results of a recent $2 million-plus aerial geophysical survey of the region. New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals (which manages the Crown Mineral Estate) has paid the lion’s share of the cost of the survey, with both the Far North District Council (FNDC) and Northland Regional Council (NRC) contributing $100,000 each. Mr Brown says a comprehensive package of digital data from the airborne geophysical survey along with a geological interpretation will be available shortly from New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals (NZP&M). He says the booklet –produced over the past several months – is the brainchild of the Explore Northland Minerals Group, which was formed several years ago. “The booklet’s designed to help potential investors (especially those from overseas) understand the opportunities, and necessary processes, of exploring the commercial potential of Northland’s minerals,” Mr Brown says. enterprisenorthland.co.nz/news_events/entry/explore-northland-minerals-booklet-to-be-launched
