Thank you to Jo Richards and the Weekly for this front page article on the well-attended Sams Creek Collective’s public meeting informing our local community of the latest developments, and sharing our very real concerns over Siren Gold’s proposed plans as set out in the company’s mining permit application to NZPAM.
