The proposal includes gold mining developments within a defined project area on Lake Lefroy a naturally occurring salt lake approximately 7 kilometres south-east of Kambalda. Thirteen sites have already been identified for development of open-cut gold mining pits, some with underground portals and mining. Additional sites may be identified within the defined project area. Waste rock dumps, access infrastructure and mining support facilities such as workshops and contractor's compounds will... Read more...Last updated: May 31, 1999

The proposal is to develop a project which would reprocess old gold tailing dumps located in the Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie. Anglo American Pacific Limited plans to treat 32.5 million tonnes which may increase to 57 million tonnes if additional dumps are incorporated. The project would mine the old tailings dumps using high pressure water jets from monitor guns. The slurry of tailings would be pumped from the monitor station to the plant site, and then passed through a carbon-leach/carbon in pulp... Read more...Last updated: May 23, 1988
The proposal is to construct and operate a new concentrate roasting facility 17 km north north-west of the Kalgoorlie Town Centre. The proposed roaster would be required to treat approximately 190 000 tonnes per annum of concentrate. This would result in the production of 16 000 kg/hr of sulphur dioxide. A concentrate containing typically 27% iron, 33% sulphur and 35 gram per tonne of gold, would be piped as a slurry to the roaster from the proposed Fimiston Plant. The slurry would then be fed...
