Beaconsfield seeks $5m for expansion
The Age
–> June 3 2009 Miner Beaconsfield Gold Ltd is seeking to raise $5 million partly to expand outside Tasmania. The push to develop its interest in the Ararat copper and gold mine in Victoria and the nearby Stavely mine would be the first time the company has expanded outside Tasmania. Part of the money raised from the share purchase plan will also be used to develop and explore the Beaconsfield Mine. Under the purchase plan eligible shareholders will be able to purchase $1000 to $15000 worth of shares at 15 cents per share a slight discount to Tuesday’s opening price of 16 cents per share. “This represents a 10.

Lark’s smooth whisky
Tasmania Mercury
BACK in 1992 when Bill Lark asked himself the question "why isn't someone producing whisky in Tasmania?" I suspect he never thought even in his wildest dreams that less than 20 years later his whisky would be judged the best in the world outside of Scotland and Ireland. r that his question would be the start of a small Tasmanian industry. Even less so that one day he'd be commissioned as a consultant to establish a new whisky distillery in Scotland. Acting on his own question Bill and Lyn Lark succeeded in having the state's century-and-a-half-long ban on distilling overturned and filled their first barrel with spirit from their first hobby-sized 75-litre still. Since then they have opened their popular whisky cafe in Davey St in Hobart developed a range of 11 different gin vodka and whisky products built a new distillery at Mount Pleasant near Cambridge assisted five other distilleries to set up around the island added whisky tourism to the state's attractions and commissioned a new 60-litre and an 1800-litre copper pot still both specially designed and built locally.
BEEKEEPER’S CNCERNS IGNRED
Tasmanian Greens
[i] Greens Forests spokesperson Kim Booth MP said the beekeepers have been united for many years in their attempts to retain the best stands of Leatherwood for their honey bees and the only thing that has kept them out of the public eye in recent years is FT’s requirement that the TBA “not air its disagreements in the media” an instruction that beekeepers are now sick of obeying after spending five years watching the ongoing destruction of the Leatherwood stands. [ii]Mr Booth also said that Tasmania’s Leatherwood trees which must 70 years or older before commercial harvest is possible are being sacrificed on the altar of a woodchip-driven forest industry that cost Tasmanians more than $1 million per week last year raising the obvious question as to why FT are threatening Tasmania’s unique Leatherwood honey industry in return for an industry that cost taxpayers $55 million last year. “Tasmanian beekeepers have spent five frustrating years negotiating with FT while saying nothing about the ongoing destruction of the Leatherwood resource but the moment they speak out FT staff immediately criticise and undermine them” said Mr Booth. “FT are acting against the interests of all Tasmanians by threatening this unique and iconic Tasmanian industry simply because it stands in the way of their woodchip-driven agenda for Tasmania’s forests.
