CONGRATULATIONS - the Government has announced a complete u-turn on plans to mine in Schedule 4 areas. We've won. Take a bow! More analysis to come.

The Government proposed to remove the only real protection of our prime conservation areas from mining. This website enabled YOU to join the many groups who are campaigning to protect what is too precious to mine.

Together we stood up for the places that are too precious to mine. AND WE WON!

We encourage you to:

• Email the Prime Minister and say thank you!
• Join us, MPs and media at the Backbencher Pub (Front Room), 34 Molesworth Street, Thorndon from 5:30pm to celebrate.

Thanks for helping protect our most precious places along with hundreds of thousands of others. We won!
