Tena koe Otago Regional Council,

Thank you for your reply to my third request about the Bendigo Ophir gold mining project proposed by Santana Minerals made on April 2, 2025.

I have two questions relating to this request which appears incomplete:
- on February 2, 2025, Peter Christophers received a document from Mary Askey of Santana Minerals entitled 'Draft Regional Rules Assessment'.
- on February 28, 2025, Peter Christophers received a document entitled 'Commercially Sensitive Bendigo-Ophir Exploration for Gold Project (Santana Minerals and Matakanui Gold).
- There is reference to a number of meetings with Santana Minerals in your reply - can you please send through any materials - documentation, presentations, meeting minutes, recordings etc resulting from these meetings.
None of these documents have been included in your response - please send through a copy of these. Given this response was due before May 5, I expect to receive a reply promptly.

In addition, please send me:
- any/all correspondence ORC has had with Santana Minerals / Matakanui Gold about the Bendigo Ophir Mine development, including, but not limited to, emails, meetings, phone conversations, presentations, reports etc
- any/all emails / papers / reports etc describing preparations ORC has made for the Bendigo Ophir mine application.
That you have from 3 April 2025 until present day.

I hope that given these are repeat requests, we hear back from you well before the 20 working days deadline; that there is no need to request an extension; and that personal details are redacted - mine included.

Nga mihi,

Suze Keith
