Mining is 'back in business' with plan to double export value | 1News

Mining is "back in business" under the new coalition Government, Resources Minister Shane Jones says.
Jones today released a draft minerals sector strategy at a community meeting in Blackball - "the heart of mining country" - on the West Coast.
The Government projects the strategy, if implemented, would double the already more than $1 billion value of exports, bringing it to $2 billion by 2035, and result in over 2000 more jobs.
