In August, the Central Otago District and Otago Regional Councils granted consent for Hawkeswood Mining to operate a gold mine near Millers Flat.
Hawkeswood Mining director Andrew Hawkeswood said the company was already looking for workers and he hoped to be processing ‘‘a bit of gold-bearing material by the end of October’’.
