We are seeking feedback on a draft critical minerals list for New Zealand.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is consulting on a draft critical minerals list. The draft list has been developed by Wood Mackenzie and is one of the key actions identified in the draft Minerals Strategy.
