    Charges have been laid over an explosive set off in a historic West Coast mine earlier this year


    The Big River Quartz Mine sustained significant damage between June and July.

    Police began enquiries in Reefton and Hokitika after the blast was filmed and shared on social media.

    Six men have since been arrested - and four face arson charges.

    The men aged between 20 and 53 are due to appear in the Grey District Court.
