Kakahu Valley Mine

15 minutes inland from Temuka you get some serious geology in the Kakahu Valley

Where NZI owns an opencast mine

We've 'won' Kakahu clay & sand here since 1903

The mine has several active faces

Unfortunately the gorse thrives in the local conditions

Kakahu Clay & Kakahu Sand are the primary inputs in NZI's proven Kakahu porcelain recipe
