Battle to save 'essential' Foulden Maar heats up
Dunedin city councillors have been urged to save the "globally significant" Foulden Maar from an overseas mining company.
Plaman Resources, a diatomite mining company, seeks Overseas Investment Office consent to buy 432 hectares of land near Middlemarch, an hour from Dunedin.
That land, as described by University of Otago geologist Daphne Lee, is largely grassy paddocks. However, some of the ground underneath has unearthed "extraordinary" geological treasures, she told the Dunedin City Council on Tuesday afternoon.
