Damian Spring: Santana Minerals CEO on securing a permit for a gold mine in central Otago
Update: 2025-11-05
Description
Australian mining company Santana is a crucial step closer to opening its controversial proposed gold mine near Cromwell.
Officials have granted a 30-year mining permit for the Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project.
It requires the company to return either 10% of profits or 2% of gold sales to the Crown – whichever is higher.
Chief Executive Damian Spring told Mike Hosking they've now lodged a fast-track application for environmental and developments consents.
