42 | LUXlife Magazine stablished in 2019, the business’ initial focus area involved exploring the landscape’s quartz reefs in search of hard rock gold, however, expansions over the coming years saw the team broaden their horizons to such an extent that they today search for each of the metals and minerals allowed by their permit applications. These applications are comprised of three prospecting permits covering more than 750km2 of New Zealand’s Southwest Coast, with Green Earth Minerals’ efforts focusing primarily on three key areas within this sector, mineral exploration, geological assessment, and resource evaluation. Through its vast mineral exploration processes, Green Earth Minerals utilises material such as geological surveys and geophysical studies, combined with its streamlined drilling operations, in order to carry out the identifying and assessing of metals and minerals swiftly and effectively. The company’s highly detailed geological assessments are conducted for the purposes of understanding more about the structure of Earth’s crust by analysing such matter as rock formations, soil samples, and other such geological features. Resource evaluations undertaken by the firm on these materials are necessary as they ultimately evaluate quantity and economic viability, as well as measuring the chances of successful extraction/processing. At the core of this operation is a mission to, “redefine the norms of mineral exploration by demonstrating that it can be conducted in a cost-effective, environmentally conscious, and affordable manner, contrary to the prevailing belief dominated by large corporations with massive capital”, as explained by Gillian. Integral to achieving this has been the meticulous blending of innovation with an effective financial model that leverages the innate expertise that those involved with the company have in areas such as business development, strategic planning, and financial modelling. Further aiding this is the local status of the business, which minimises overhead costs and the reliance on foreign corporations. Regarding innovation, Green Earth Minerals pioneers a series of new norms, implementing such features as cost-effective technology, environmental responsibility, and community engagement across all areas of the business. It is this commitment to sustainability that has led to the team engaging with the community, as Gillian explains. “Green Earth Minerals is dedicated to being a positive force in the communities where we operate. By involving locals in our projects and ensuring that the benefits remain within the region, we create a unique value proposition that resonates with the people of NZ who prefer socially responsible organisations who respect our unique and beautiful landscapes.” Best Mineral Development & Exploration Company - New Zealand New Zealand’s mineral exploration and development is aided immeasurably by Green Earth Minerals Limited, a company with a portfolio of prospective and strategic assets that enable a robust pipeline of opportunities benefiting the country and industry alike. It is the main objective of those at the company to maximise overall value through the leveraging of the region’s exploration, discovery, and development opportunities in the realm of both gold and green materials. Gillian Bearman is on hand to tell us more about the company’s stellar efforts, sustainable approach, and commitment to all things local. These landscapes are compromised predominantly of a series of diverse geological formations that house the metals and minerals that the company searches for, with many of these areas having remained unexplored since the country’s Otago Gold Rush, which occurred between the 1860s and 1930s. In today’s landscape, large corporations dominate the sector, having to manage such on-going challenges as capital intensity, environmental regulation, and global market dynamics. Existing at the forefront of the sector, Green Earth Minerals has turned said challenges into prosperous opportunities by leveraging its cost-effective model, sustainable methods, and local ownership/community engagement. Central to these endeavours is the hardworking team that serve to embody the company’s overarching mission and values, with an internal culture having been crafted that prioritises elements such as collaboration and innovation. Gillian tell us, “By cultivating an internal culture centred on shared values, open communication, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, Green Earth Minerals Limited aims to create an environment where team members feel empowered, motivated, and aligned.” Ultimately, it is these positive traits which will stand the company in good stead as it enacts its plans for the future. These include raising capital for early entry investments, diversifying its partnerships in key sectors of innovation, reinvesting in its approach to growth and sustainability, and finally, continuing to explore, powered by joint ventures with local companies and those willing to respect both Green Earth Minerals Limited’s and New Zealand’s dearest values.
