KCGM

Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) has appointed Cecile Thaxter as its first female general manager.

KCGM last week poured its 20 millionth ounce of gold from the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie. It was the second historical moment for KCGM in June. The company poured its 60 millionth ounce of gold from The Golden Mile on June 15.

June is a historic month for mining in the Goldfields region of Western Australia and locally operating gold joint venture, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM).

A new gold discovery underneath Kalgoorlie will be grist for the rumour mill at the annual Diggers and Dealers conference, despite KCGM’s refusal to confirm or deny if it is true.

The Super Pit’s general manager Russell Cole has left the top job in unexplained circumstances.

Gold processing at Kalgoorlie’s Super Pit will be extended by eight years until 2029, the mine’s owner today announced.

A trip to Kalgoorlie isn’t complete without a visit to the Super Pit, Australia’s largest open pit mine.

A consumables contract up for grabs at KCGM’s Mt Charlotte underground mine has got drilling companies clambering over each other bidding for the opportunity which is reportedly worth more than $20,000 per month.
