Tui Mine Clean Up

Tui Mine’s was opened in 1967 by Norpac Mining Ltd to extract metals, such as copper, lead and zinc, however the mine closed in 1975 when Norpac went into liquidation and Tui Mine was abandoned. In the 2007 Budget, money from the Ministry for the Environment’s Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund was earmarked to start the clean up of Tui Mine. The clean up is now underway, as a joint effort between the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), the landowners (Matamata-Piako District Council (MPDC) and Department of Conservation (DOC)), and Environment Waikato.  Representatives of the local iwi, Ngati Rahiri Tumutumu, are also involved in project governance.
