Rosemary Segedin spokesperson for Earth Watch Whangamata and Coromandel Watch Dog rang today to explain why she and a small group of protestors did a 4 hour return trek into a site south of Whangamata where Newmont Waihi Gold had an exploration drill.

We spoke to Sefton Darby from Newmont as well who told us that the site was in the process of being shut down when the protestors arrived and Newmont have flown hundreds of trees into the site to start rehabilitation.
