The main areas are the Kalgoorlie and Leonora regions. There are mines at Coolgardie, Leinster, Menzies, and a new gold mine at Boddington, southwest of Perth. Western Australia has several working gold mines, but its largest is the Fimiston Open Pit gold mine at Kalgoorlie- Boulder. This mine is nicknamed the "Super Pit" because it is an open cut gold mine, currently 3.5 km long, 1.5 km wide and 360 m deep. It will eventually reach 3.9 km long, 1.6 km wide and a depth of over 500 m. A complete listing of Western Australian gold mines and their localities can be found at the related link below.
