Save the Tarkine commences Nelson Bay River Mine vigil
Save the Tarkine and partners have today commenced a vigil outside the Shree Minerals Nelson Bay River proposed mine.
“We are hear to bear witness to the destruction of this area, and the threat that this mine poses to the Tasmanian devil,” said Save the Tarkine Campaign Coordinator, Scott Jordan.
“We will be making sure the world knows what is happening here.”
Contractors entered the site around 11.00 am this morning in passenger vehicles, in contravention of permit conditions. Save the Tarkine is contacting the Environment Minister to alert him to this clear breach, and urge him to act immediately to suspend works on site.
