ONEKAKA IRON WORKS
INVESTIGATION OF ORE SUPPLIES STATEMENT BY MINISTER (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 14. The Minister of Industries and Commerce. Mr Sullivan, expects that by the end of January he will have sufficient data available on which to decide definitely whether the Government will be warranted in continuing with the projected Onekaka iron and steel industry. This was said by the Minister in an interview today. The visit of expert consultants from Great Britain have been held up pending a further advance in the developmental work, but if the reports the Government obtains in January warrant it they will be sent for. “Though I am not definitely certain as to the time when we will have sufficient clear indications whether there is enough ore to warrant the establishment of the industry,” Mr Sullivan said, “I think we will probably be in this position about the end of January. When we have the information we are collecting in Onekake and elsewhere, and assuming it is favourable, we will then decide to invite to New Zealand experts from England. We will Ijave further consultations with those ’experts before proceeding with the establishment of the industry.
