FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OHINEMURI RIVER DISCOLOURATION


On Friday 23rd in the afternoon a section of the Ohinemuri river in the Karangahake gorge
became discoloured with a sediment. The Waikato Regional Council (WRC) has satisfied itself
as to the source of the material that has flushed into the river from old disused workings in the
conservation park. The discolouration has dissipated rapidly and even the water in the area of
the source appears to have now cleared.
New Talisman can confirm that the event is not related to any of its activities. While we will
leave the WRC to determine the cause of the material entering the river, New Talisman and
its mining contractor Terra Firma have previously engaged with the Department of
Conservation (DoC) to assist with making the many historic and disused tunnels in the wider
area secure to prevent members of the public entering and endangering themselves. We will
renew our efforts with an offer of services to both DoC and the WRC to secure where possible
the various historic tunnels and workings.

Yours sincerely,
