Mining & quarrying

With our strong background in both commercial and environmental law, Wynn Williams is well-placed to provide legal advice to mining operations in the South Island and further afield.

We have experience across various aspects of the law relating to coal and gold mining; including compliance with the Resource Management Act and other environmental matters. We can also assist with negotiating of Alliance Agreements and other contracts between local and offshore parties.

We also act for a number of South Island quarrying companies.

We regularly advise on:
  • negotiating Alliance Agreements
  • advising on the Resource Management Act
  • advising on the Crown Minerals Act
  • company and joint venture structuring
  • Advising on a mining Alliance Agreement between Oceana Gold and Stracon Mining.
  • The negotiation process for an Alliance Agreement between Solid Energy and an Australian/NZ joint venture.
