Seabed mining firm leaves opponents guessing its next move Trans Tasman Resources won’t confirm its Taranaki ironsands project is over, leaving offshore wind developers and environmental groups seeking clarity after the company withdrew from Fast‑track.

"Baxter said that until TTR notified its shareholders that it had terminated the seabed mining project, there was a chance it could still be revived.

“I don’t trust them or [Resources Minister] Shane Jones to leave it there,” she said.

Wannabe seabed mining company Trans-Tasman Resources tries to repackage the same bad science and feed it up to the Fast Track expert panel as something new.

Seabed miner slows fast track with 'cynical' response An Australian company has slowed its fast track bid to mine the Taranaki seabed by failing to provide information demanded by officials.

OUCH!
"The Applicant's responses to some of my directions have provided little, if any assistance, and have in fact led to my taking a more conservative approach to timeframe"

Wind turbines off the coast of Taranaki could act as artificial reefs and have a positive impact on biodiversity. The opposite of Trans-Tasman Resources' destructive seabed mining plans.
