Mining in NZ of this nature is a relatively rare activity and mine tours combined with adjacent scenic/bush appreciation can form the basis of a tourist business. Witness the tourist business at Denniston on the West Coast of the South Island. A now defunct coal mine combined with tourist train and bush/coastal vistas. Closer to Talisman is the Waihi open pit and active underground gold mining operations. I do not have numbers but I know that many people visit to observe this.

Money speaks. What the Duncans are after are more payouts from NTL.
