Anti-mining protests will continue on conservation land on the Coromandel Peninsula today.
Members of Coromandel Watchdog managed to shut down a mining rig in the Parakiwai Valley, near Whangamata, yesterday.
Renee Annan says a wider public protest will take place today.
"We're meeting at 10.00AM at the end of the
valley road and walking in, and hopefully the weather will hold out for us.
"We'll have a bit of a picnic, and peacefully and non-violently protest drilling on conservation land, because it's too precious to mine."
