The Waitekauri Gold-mining Company was established in April 1895 and reports of the advertised meeting indicate that exploratory progress was going well and that the share-holders were happy to wait until a large dividend premium was available for pay-out. The mine must have started production as a further report in 1897 shows that the company may dividend payments of £21,430 (NZ$4,078,000 today). The newspapers record that work ceased at the mine in 1903 and the company was liquidated in 1904.
