A mining lobby group thinks the Resources Minister's decade-long vision for mining is achievable. 

Shane Jones has announced a draft strategy which would see a critical minerals list for New Zealand produced, and a detailed stock-take made of the country's known mineral potential.  

He wants to double export values in 10 years, from one billion to two.  

Straterra Chief Executive, Josie Vidal told Mike Hosking that there are quite a few mines in the pipeline which they want to get up and running. 

She says it takes a long time to do that, so they support the current fast-track process being discussed.
