New Zealand rethinks opposition to deep-sea mining

New Zealand is considering withdrawing its support for an international ban on deep-sea mining, the country's resources minister told AFP on Tuesday.

"We're talking about this with our foreign affairs minister. We can't deny ourselves the option where critical minerals have an increasingly critical role," Resources Minister Shane Jones said in an interview.
