Environmentalists buy shares in mining company to protect a Kimberley icon


Environmentalists buy shares in mining company to protect a Kimberley icon:
Mr Costin says he told the board's chairman and director that the current site is inappropriate for a copper mine.

"The prospect of tourism operations at the Horizontal Waterfalls co-existing with a copper mine is totally untenable," he said.

"It's not just the visual impact of the mine, but more so the discharges in relation to waste water."

Mr Costin says signing up as shareholder has given protesters a clearer understanding of what they're up against.
