Straterra is the industry group representing the New Zealand resource sector and NZ mining
Straterra offers a collective voice for the New Zealand resource sector, from small firms to large enterprises. Our membership represents 84% by value of NZ's mineral production (except for oil & gas, and geothermal) and a large percentage of the exploration effort. Straterra works closely with the petroleum sector and has links to the geothermal sector.
We are committed to environmental and social responsibility.
The goal of the resource sector is to be recognised as being a responsible and significant contributor to the NZ economy, NZ mining, the NZ Brand and to the environmental values held so highly by all NZers.
Situated in the CBD at 93 The Terrace, Straterra is well positioned near the Beehive (view of Woodward Street from The Terrace).
