I grew up close to the Ohinemuru River.
The mines polluting it now closed around 100 years ago. It took around seventy years for this river to recover from the waste of mining. It finally had fish in it again around thirty years ago.
And now?
I cannot think of a better example of the disasterous long term effects of mining.
And not only the river. It washes out to the Firth of Thames and probably settles into the sediments.

‘Farewell to the Gold’
It’s nearly two years since I left my old mother
For adventure and gold by the pound.
With Jimmy the prospector, he was another,
For the hills of Otago was bound. …
We sluiced and we cradled for day after day
Barely making enough to get by;
‘Til a terrible flood swept poor Jimmy away
During six stormy days in July …
chorus:
Farewell to the gold that never I found,
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound;
For it’s only when dreaming that I see you gleaming
Down in the dark deep underground.
For many Kiwis, their mining future is in Australia. Better pay, better unions, better workplace safety, more affordable housing & lifestyle. Your future awaits.
Have you not read the news lately.
China is reducing iron ore imports dramatically. Aussie commentators are increasingly warning of a major collapse of the Aussie economy.
Mining over there is retrenching fast so the future for Kiwis to go over there is looking pretty poor.
Construction is also very sick. 2 tradie grandchildren have backed off going because of lack of job security. May as well be unemployed here where they have family instead of over there on their own.
You do realize Australia has more than just iron?
Opportunities also depend on your skills & qualifications.
