Kalgoorlie, Western Australia 
After years of analysis and debate, the Western Australian Government gave the Kalgoorlie Super Pit approval to expand and extend its mine life to 2021. This approval now triggers the process for evaluating the viability of the expansion.
The mine is the economic backbone of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, but it had to meet stringent standards for environmental performance due to its proximity to the town.
The operation also poured its 13 millionth ounce of gold in December 2009. This momentous occasion marked 54 million ounces of gold produced from the Golden Mile in over a century of gold production.
