Frequently Asked Questions

Where is most of Western Australia's gold mined?

The majority of WA's gold production comes from the Goldfields-Esperance region, particularly around Kalgoorlie-Boulder, home to the iconic Super Pit — one of the largest open-cut gold mines in the world. Other significant producing regions include the Pilbara, Murchison, and Southern Cross districts.

How much gold does Western Australia produce each year?

Western Australia produces approximately 200–230 tonnes of gold per year, accounting for around 70–75% of Australia's total national output. This positions WA as one of the most significant gold-producing jurisdictions globally, behind only major producers such as China, Russia, and Australia as a whole.

What companies are the major gold miners operating in Western Australia?

Leading gold mining companies operating in WA include Newmont (formerly Newcrest), Northern Star Resources, Evolution Mining, Gold Fields, Regis Resources, and Ramelius Resources. These companies operate large-scale open-cut and underground mines across the Goldfields, Murchison, and other key WA gold corridors.
