ECR Minerals is up and running and producing gold at its Raglan project in Australia. The company has been busy fine-tuning operations there in the past few weeks, shooting a Lidar survey and consulting an expert in alluvial projects for ideas on making further efficiencies. Meanwhile, the company is also moving closer to production at the much larger Maddens project, where grades have run as high as 25 grams per tonne in the past. ECR's executive chairman Nick Tulloch joins Vox to tell us more.

Episode 190 - The Run Down On Raglan & What's Predicted For Punta Roca. What did you guys think of Raglan as an event? Well, here is what we thought. Listen in for our break down of the surfing, the wave, the broadcast and more. Overall, we are positive on Raglan, yes the lay days suck, but that's surfing. The waves on some of the days before then and during were great. Hearing pro's say it's hard to surf, good, we want them challenged right?! Some surfers, really stood out and it was super cool to see the different sides to the surfers actually going left on a wave like this. Carissa was by far the best surfer of the whole event, regardless of the men's or women's. That was domination. Along with this, we give some predictions and run down on what we think will go down in El Salv. Let us know your thoughts and get your fantasy teams picked! Tune in, share and enjoy.Follow us at @the_insiders_podcast - Link In Bio

Fresh off the back of the World Surf League Championship Tour stop in Raglan this month, the surfing community's focus turns to New Plymouth where the Egmont Honey Pro is bringing top-level longboarding to Taranaki. It's a surfing style often associated with older athletes, but this weekend's world tour qualifying event features dozens of teenagers. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin went to Fitzroy Beach to catch the vibe.

Emotions were abundant on a remarkable finish to the Corona Cero New Zealand Pro Presented by Bonsoy, celebrating Carissa Moore and Italo Ferreira's victories in dedication to their families.  A statement-making win and the most special chair-up for Moore to date ended her full circle moment in New Zealand, where she won her first CT 16 years ago. Moore's insatiable backhand power led to an incredible comeback against an in-form Sawyer Lindblad, accounting for a 9.40 toward a 29th CT win and her first as a mother.  Following that emotional victory, Ferreira kept the family first mentality as he soared his way to an 11th-career CT victory with his baby and wife back in Brazil cheering him on. Morgan Cibilic made Ferreira work for the win, posting an 8.80 on his backhand, but Ferreira's firepower was too much and shut down Ciblic's remarkable run from Round 1 all the way to the Final. Now, the rankings have shifted following major disruptions to the upper echelon with fireworks from those looking for major results. The yellow jersey continues to switch hands, but staying within the Brazilian Storm courtesy of Ferreira.  Finals Day dismantling followed the opening horn, with Cibilic putting the world's best on notice once more in his CT return and putting on a dominant display over Griffin Colapinto. Plus, Lindblad's iconic run adds to her recent surge to finish the first four stops on Tour following a tough opener as she now sits at No. 5 on the ranks.  From Manu Bay's remarkable left of Raglan to the scorching right of Punta Roca, the Tour now prepares to take over La Libertad for the Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero beginning June 5 - 15.

WSL commentator and Lineup part-time co-host Mitchell Salazar returns to break down everything that went down at the Corona Cero New Zealand Pro presented by Bonsoy. The Championship Tour has officially wrapped its fourth stop and the dust is finally settling on a wild week of competition. Dave and Mitch dive deep into the biggest storylines from Manu Bay, starting with the dominant victories by 5x World Champion Carissa Moore and 2019 World Champion Italo Ferreira, the most potent form of Brazilian Storm we've seen yet, and how the right-foot-brigade showed up for the new performance left on tour. They separate the field into the event's ultimate winners and losers, dissecting who capitalized on the momentum and whose title hopes took a serious hit. They check under the hood of the Surfboard Empire CT Shaper Rankings presented by VEIA to see where the board builders sit before stop number five… and muse over the controversial 2+1 setup Filipe Toledo used at Raglan. They talk WSL Fantasy strategy, what the roster looks like ahead of the next event, and wrap things up by answering burning questions sent in by the listeners. Finally, they look ahead to what's next for the world's best: the Surf City El Salvador Pro presented by Corona Cero, kicking off June 5th. Follow Mitch here.

A five-time World Champion added another chapter to her story in the final of the New Zealand Pro surf event in Raglan today. Hawaiian Carissa Moore won her first Championship Tour event in New Zealand 16 years ago and has gone on to become one of the greats in the sport. Her return to Aotearoa with her young family for this event, she said was a full circle moment. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

Raglan has waved goodbye to the world's top surfers - for now - as the New Zealand leg of the World Surf League comes to an end. Surfing New Zealand's Ben Kennings spoke to John Campbell.

The World Surf League's New Zealand Pro event in Raglan was put on hold this morning after a photographer was attacked while in the water. The photographer is okay, they're reported to be in "good spirits" and is being treated for small puncture wounds at the hospital. We wanted to learn a bit more about the conditions in Raglan and how safe it is to go in the water, so Jese is joined by environmental scientist and eCoast managing director Dr Shaw Mead.

The World Surf League event at Raglan's Manu Bay has wrapped after 11 days of competition. It's being labelled as a massive success, with organisers hitting capacity crowds of 6500 onlookers. The event came to New Zealand's shores in late January, supported by the Government's $40 million Events Attraction Package. Surfing NZ CEO Ben Kennings told Mike Hosking the purpose of the package is to get eyeballs from around the world looking at New Zealand, and the funding also helped inspire New Zealand surfers. He says that the people who came down to Manu Bay throughout the event was pretty amazing, and probably exceeded expectations. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
