Brett Mills bought a section near Queenstown, sight unseen, because he believed it was the site of his first kiss. Twenty years on, he still isn t able to access it.
It was late at night, there were only a few hours to submit a tender for a slice of the New Zealand high country, and Brett Mills was wafting in a cloud of nostalgia. As a child, the Queenstown local had probably walked through the 0.5 hectare section – about half the size of a rugby field – while traversing the Moonlight track from Arthurs Point with his father to visit old gold miners.

In their search for future mines, many companies are turning to the Far North as existing resources are depleted. The North features favourable geology, mining-friendly policies and is much less explored than more established destinations to the south. Below, we provide an overview of eight companies focused on the northern portion of this continent.

Emma Ferris talks about the day she learned she had been conned out of $300,000 and how she fought back.
Six months into a romance with a man she met on Tinder, Emma Ferris discovers he has conned her out of $300,000. That begins a dangerous game of double-deceit in the pursuit of justice. It’s April 9, 2019, and Emma Ferris is walking into the Queenstown branch of Westpac where she gives her partner of six months a kiss and a cuddle. “I’m so sorry,” she says. “I don’t know why my family’s doing this.” “I’m sure we can sort it out, but this is bad,” responds the man she knew as Andrew Thomson until only a few hours earlier. Now she knows he is also Andrew Tonks, Andrew Tonks-Thomson and Andrew W C Tonks Thomson, a convicted conman.
