Macraes Mine

Macraes Mine in East Otago is New Zealand's largest gold mine, and consists of a large scale opencast mine opened in 1990, and a newer underground mine, opened in 2008. It is situated close to the settlement of Macraes Flat and is owned by OceanaGold Corporation. Gold production averaged 193,000 Troy ounces/year for 2008 through 2010. Ore grades have been declining, to 1.26 grams/tonne in 2010, but recoveries have improved slightly to 81% of the gold contained in the ore, in 2010. From 1990 through 2014, gold production totaled about 4 million ounces. The mine's 5 millionth ounce was poured in July 2019. The company claims a gold reserve of 1.53 MM troy oz Au plus a larger subeconomic gold resource; and expects the mine to operate at least through 2021. As of July 2019, over 5 million ounces of gold have been extracted. The gold bearing rocks were formed by the orogenic processes that created the Otago Schist belt.

Рудник Macraes

Рудник Macraes — гірничодобувне підприємство на Південному острові Нової Зеландії. Історичні копальні У 1862-му в районі Macraes виявили алювіальне золото, а в 1875-му відкрили перше корінне рудне тіло. Як наслідок, виник цілий ряд копалень, зокрема, компанія Golden Point Mining організувала розробку виявленого в 1889 році рудного тіла Голден-Пойнт. Згодом копальня двічі змінювала власників та діяла до 1930 року, вилучивши в сукупності 0,5 тонни золота, а також 800 тонн шеєліту — мінералу вольфраму. Останній отримували на збагачувальному обладнанні, яке спершу належало компанії Maritana Company та використовувалось у видобутку золота, проте через погані результати було зупинене в 1906-му, а в 1911-му переміщене та залучене до розробки вольфрамових покладів. Частину обладнання Maritana Company викупили та почали використовувати у 1912-му брати Каллері (Callery), які розробляли виявлене неподалік від Голден-Пойнт золоторудне тіло Раунд-Хілл та вели діяльність до кінця 1920-х. У 1932-му сформували Round Hill Mining Company, що починаючи з 1939-го зосередилась на видобутку шеєліту, попит на який стрімко зріс під час Другої світової війни (тоді як ціни на золото впали). Втім, обсяги цих операцій були невеликі. Окрім зазначених вище, діяли копальні «Coronation», «Deepdell», «Innes», «Mills» та інші. Сучасна копальня У 1990 році видобуток у регіоні відновила через рудник Macraes компанія Macraes Mining. Після злиття в 1998-му з австралійською Gold and Resources Development вона перетворилась на GRD Macraes, а у 2003-му на основі останньої створили OceanaGold. Цього разу провідну роль при розробці відграє відкритий спосіб, що призвів до виникнення ланцюжка кар'єрів, який простягнувся з півночі на південь не менш ніж на десяток кілометрів — «Coronation North», «Coronation», «Deepdell North», «Deepdell South», «Golden Point/ Round Hill», «Frasers» (цілий ряд з них були закладені на місці старих копалень). Також відомо про існування кар'єру «Innes Mills». У 2008-му додали підземний видобуток, що станом на початок 2020-х забезпечував біля чверті продукції копальні. Первісно рудник Macraes мав фабрику з вилучення золота річною потужністю 1,5 млн тонн руди, яка з плином часу внаслідок модернізації була доведена до 5,9 млн тонн на рік. Крім того, удосконалення технології дозволило збільшити рівень вилучення золота в середньому на 15 % та довести цей показник до рівня від 83 % до 86 %. Також можливо відзначити, що в 2007—2016 роках фабрику з вилучення золота приймала на переробку концентрат з рудника Глоуб-Прогресс (його власником також була OceanaGold). З 1990-го і по кінець червня 2020-го рудник видав близько 155 тонн золота, при цьому в 2019-му видобуток становив 5,4 тонни. Водночас прогнозний видобуток на 2020—2028 роки оцінювався у 42 млн тонн руди, з якої розраховували отримати 42 тонни золота (при цьому 2025 рік міг стати останнім для підземного способу розробки). У випадку підтвердження ресурсів, розмір яких перевищує 60 тонн, строк служби копальні може бути подовжений. Примітки
Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park

Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park (Māori: Mākara Maunga Pahikara) is a mountain biking and walking park in Wellington, New Zealand. History Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park opened in 1998. In 1998 the Wellington City Council set aside 200 hectares of retired farmland in Karori southwest of Wellington, New Zealand, for a mountain bike park. Development of it began almost immediately with volunteer work parties planting trees, removing pest animals and digging new tracks. By 2014 the park had grown to 250 hectares with over 40 kilometres of hand-built single track and over 35,000 native seedlings planted. Pests such as goats, sheep, and possums had been dramatically reduced with volunteers maintaining possum traps and bait stations and mustelid traps, allowing new vegetation to flourish. Wellington City Council used the poison brodifacoum for possum control; 1080 was not used. A 72-metre swing bridge was added to the mountain bike park in 2017 after a successful donation campaign raised over $35,000. Tracks continue to be created and upgraded; a 2–3 year work plan began in 2020 to add more tracks in the north of the park. Operations Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park covers 250 hectares and has 40 kilometres of mountain biking trails. It also includes a skills area, which was renovated in 2020 to focus on jumps. The park is free to use and open to both cyclists and pedestrians. Approximately 30% of its users are pedestrians. The Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park was visited by 8% of the Wellington population in 2003 according to research carried out by the Wellington City Council. It has received a recreation award from the New Zealand Recreation Association and two conservation awards from the New Zealand Department of Conservation. The park is jointly managed by the Wellington City Council and Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park Supporters Inc.

Manurewa High School

Manurewa High School is a secondary school in Manurewa, South Auckland, New Zealand. It is a large multi-cultural school, with an enrolment of over 2,300 students. History Manurewa High School was opened on 2 February 1960. Prior to this, students in Manurewa needed to travel to schools outside the area, such as Otahuhu College. The high school was opened next to Homai School (then known as Manurewa North School), and a row of trees was planted between the two campuses to create a boundary. The school buildings were built to the linear school building plan, a plan only adopted by three schools (including Onehunga High School). The school began with a roll of 126 students, but due to the growth in the area the school needed to add seven classrooms to the school by 1963. Night classes for adults were also held at the school, and were so popular that in 1960 there were more adult students attending night classes than students in the daytime. The school began holding large-scale school fairs from 1961, in order to fundraise for the school. Demographics Manurewa High School is a multi-cultural school. In 2025, 51% of its students were Pasifika, 33% were Māori and 13% were Asian. As of March 2026, Manurewa High Scholl has a roll of 2,458 students, of which 710 (28.9%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 508, placing it amongst schools whose students have many socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 2 and 3 under the former socio-economic decile system). The Homai College for the Blind which is within walking distance of Manurewa High School. Blind and Visually Impaired students are placed in normal classroom environments and are assisted through the provisioning of specialised equipment and resources (such as Braille versions of textbooks), and staff trained to meet their special needs are available. This allows the students to participate fully in the school curriculum without any significant segregation.

Motumānawa / Pollen Island

Motumānawa / Pollen Island is an island in the Waitematā Harbour, very near the northern end of Rosebank Peninsula, in Auckland, New Zealand. The official name of the island was changed from Pollen Island and gazetted as Motumānawa / Pollen Island on 12 November 2015. History The island was given its English name from Daniel Pollen, who bought it in 1855. He later became Premier of New Zealand. Pollen used the shellbanks of the island to produce lime for the brick and concrete industries. In 1918, the Avondale Road Board purchased the island, in order to harvest the shells to be used for construction projects, such as layering on footpaths. The island has been owned and managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC) since late 2005, when it was acquired from Ports of Auckland. It was gazetted as an open scientific reserve in 2006. It had been leased by Forest and Bird from Ports of Auckland between June 1995 to June 2005. During the lease Forest and Bird identified the native plants and animals living there and prepared a management plan. Biodiversity The island is a part of the wider intertidal ecosystem of the Motu Manawa (Pollen Island) Marine Reserve. Motumānawa / Pollen Island is a breeding spot for New Zealand dotterels, New Zealand fernbirds, the banded rail and the black-backed gull. The main vegetation on the island is Juncus kraussii, Apodasmia similis and Plagianthus divaricatus, with smaller patches of New Zealand flax and Olearia solandri. Marine reserve The Motu Manawa-Pollen Island Marine Reserve was established in 1996.
