Imagine a company that has been pursuing its goal for fifteen years, with mixed progress, if you could call it that.

The company, Trans Tasman Resources (TTR) has invested over $85 million toward a deep sea mining project off the South Taranaki Coast.

It鈥檚 Executive Chairman Alan Eggers is a qualified geologist who gained his degree at Victoria University, Wellington.

But it鈥檚 not all been plain sailing...

Eggers lays it out in a most interesting interview which covers matters political, racial, social and financial, and helps to understand why New Zealand is poorly served in its search for the success it deserves.

It just might share some of the reasons the country comes up short in other areas, like infrastructure and health.
