  • What You Need to Know About Our Mining Activities Before You Purchase a Property in Waihi
    What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi What you need to know about our mining activities before you purchase a property in Waihi OceanaGold is mining under residential properties in Waihi East and also has consent to mine in other areas. Here is what you need to know if you are considering purchasing a property in Waihi. CEPA We are mining in the area inside the yellow line in Waihi East. This area is known as CEPA, the Correnso Extended Project Area. We are allowed to mine underground anywhere in this area. The top of the Correnso mine is at least 130 metres below the surface. This is about the same distance from the Sky Tower glass observation deck to the street. Before we tunnel under any property inside the CEPA area we must offer the property owner an ex gratia payment of 5% of the current market value of the property. Before we mine under a property we must offer the property owner the same ex gratia payment or the option of us purchasing the property at current market valuation. If the property you are considering purchasing has already received an ex gratia payment this should be recorded on the LIM report. In the event that we mine under the property and offer to purchase it, the ex gratia payment will be deducted from the amount we offer. This does not apply to a sale on the open market. We advise that you check the LIM of any property you are considering purchasing.
