You are visiting this page because you have watched “Into the Dunstan Mountains”, a short documentary about the proposed Bendigo-Ophir mine, featuring Sam Neill.

Here’s a message from Sam:

If you, like me, are horrified by the proposal to fast-track a toxic mine at Bendigo, Central Otago, take action today.

There’s plenty you can do, but as a first step add your name to the list of people who are opposed to this mine.

The group Sustainable Tarras, representing the tiny community of locals living near the proposed mine, is maintaining this list, and keeping in touch with those who sign up. I urge you to add your voice in opposition.

We cannot let this happen.

Here’s the link to add your name

If you’d like to find out more first, perhaps try the following:

  • Here’s a link to Santana’s fast-track application online
  • Here’s a link to Sustainable Tarras on Facebook – scroll back through their posts. They are also on Instagram.
  • Or just do a google search for “Santana Minerals mine” and start reading some recent articles.

We’ll add more links and resources here soon.
