Hampton Gold Mine

The Hampton Gold Mine forms part of the Hampton-Boulder-Jubilee (HBJ) underground complex within the East Coolgardie district, Goldfields-Esperance region, Western Australia. The site sits within the semi-arid to arid Goldfields landscape, characterised by extreme thermal cycling, minimal annual rainfall, and negligible surface water availability. Water supply security — sourced via the Goldfields & Agricultural Water Supply Scheme or on-site managed storage — is a primary operational constraint and a critical procurement category for any B2B service provider engaging this site.

Operated by Northern Star Resources Ltd. under its South Kalgoorlie Operations (SKO) portfolio, Hampton Gold Mine is an actively producing underground asset. The workforce operates on a FIFO rotation model, with personnel mobilised through Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport and transferred via ground logistics to site. This model drives sustained demand across:

• Camp accommodation and catering services
• Underground mining contracting and labour hire
• Consumables supply and inventory management
• Medical, emergency response, and site safety services

The HBJ complex employs underground hard-rock mining methods suited to the high-grade, structurally controlled gold mineralisation of the Kalgoorlie Terrane. Key engineering procurement categories include:

• Primary ventilation systems — fans, ducting, and underground airflow management
• Ground support consumables — rock bolts, mesh, and shotcrete
• Dewatering and humidity control infrastructure
• CIL-compatible gold processing reagents and circuit maintenance
• Haul trucks, loaders, and underground mobile equipment servicing

Northern Star Resources has publicly committed to decarbonisation targets aligned with industry ESG frameworks, creating procurement opportunities at site level. Relevant sustainability-driven categories include:

• Hybrid or battery-electric underground vehicles (BEV) to reduce diesel emissions and improve air quality
• On-site renewable energy integration — solar generation and dual-fuel power solutions
• Water recycling and tailings management technologies
• Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions monitoring and reporting services

Vendors aligned with verified ESG credentials hold a competitive advantage in Northern Star's supplier qualification process.
