The Resources Minister is hoping to use an Australia trip to entice investment in New Zealand mining.

Shane Jones is leaving today to attend and speak at the International Mining and Resources Conference in Sydney.

The Government is including mining projects in the fast-track consent legislation and revising overseas investment criteria.

Jones told Tim Beveridge it’s important to amplify the message New Zealand is open for business.

“Too many Kiwis don’t find an opportunity in New Zealand in such work, and by opening it up, attracting investment with the necessary guardrails, New Zealand can add to our GDP by finally using not only the predictable minerals, but rare minerals that we possess.”
