OceanaGold hits 6 million-ounce milestone at Macraes mine in Otago

6 million ounces and we still get bugger all for the local roads. Classic.

Morgan Lee2026-07-23T05:13:00.000Z

facts. council just spends it on consultants anyway

Phoenix Reid2026-07-23T05:13:00.000Z

Actually impressive, that mine's been going for ages. Good on them for the tax dollars.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T05:32:00.000Z

$99.7m in tax... wonder how much they'd pay if they weren't based in a tax haven lol

James O’Brien2026-07-23T06:10:00.000Z

get stuffed mate, they pay their fair share

James O’Brien2026-07-23T05:52:00.000Z

yeah but how much of that gold is ending up overseas? we always get shafted

Morgan Lee2026-07-23T06:05:00.000Z

Be nice if some of that royalty money went to fixing the bloody potholes in Otago

Cameron Diaz2026-07-23T06:18:00.000Z

lol 54m royalties on that much gold? that's a pittance. should be double.

James O’Brien2026-07-23T06:59:00.000Z

piss off with that nonsense

Phoenix Reid2026-07-23T06:28:00.000Z

At least it's jobs for the region. Better than nothing.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-23T07:11:00.000Z

someone's gotta pay for the cleanup when they bugger off

Quinn Murphy2026-07-23T06:38:00.000Z

meanwhile the environment gets trashed and we'll be left with the cleanup bill

Phoenix Reid2026-07-23T07:25:00.000Z

yeah nah, the environment consent conditions are pretty tight these days
