Further to WPQ 6186 did Trans-Tasman Resources Ltd advocate for seabed minerals or vanadium titanomagnetite to be included in the Critical Minerals List, if at all?

Answer
In response to Wood Mackenzie's survey to inform the mineral longlisting phase of the New Zealand Draft Critical Minerals List development, Trans-Tasman Resources Ltd (TTR Ltd) identified a variety of minerals including iron, titanium and vanadium as essential to New Zealand, having potential for production increases, and as having existing production. TTR Ltd did not make a submission on the Draft Critical Minerals List during public consultation.
