The Gwalia Gold Mine is located at Gwalia, a few kilometres south of Leonora, Western Australia. It was originally established by Welsh miners in the late 19th century and Herbert Hoover, later the President of the United States, served as the mine manager in its early days from May to November 1898.
The mine, with a depth of 1,600 metres in 2023, is Australia’s deepest underground gold mine and the deepest trucking mine in the world. Genesis acquired Gwalia from St Barbara Limited in July 2023.
Despite producing more than 6 million ounces of gold since its discovery, Gwalia retains a high-grade multi-million ounce Resource base pointing to many more decades of mine life.
