Mount Burnett, Mountain summit in Kahurangi National Park, New Zealand
Mount Burnett reaches an elevation of 641 meters above sea level, forming the northwest border of the Aorere River valley in Golden Bay.
European colonists discovered valuable deposits for hydraulic cement near Mount Burnett in the 1880s, leading to the establishment of cement works in Ferntown.
The mountain and surrounding areas in Kahurangi National Park represent an important conservation zone containing multiple endemic plant species and rare wildlife.
The mountain features New Zealand's only operational dolomite mine, which supplies essential minerals for agricultural purposes throughout the region.
Mount Burnett provides habitat for the Powelliphanta gilliesi gilliesi, a critically endangered subspecies of giant land snails found nowhere else.
