Dating & evidence note
This is a new 2026 report. It does not claim to have been published earlier. Counts describe the sourced records in this register at review date and are not production, reserve or legal-status claims.
What this report is for
Kalgoorlie’s golden mile and the nickel belts around it. This page begins with what is actually present in the published register, then points back to the authorities behind those records.
At review date the group comprises 156 operating, 38 care & maintenance, 27 in development. A status is the latest value ingested from the cited release; it should be rechecked with the issuer before operational, commercial or travel decisions.
The most frequently recorded commodities in this reading set are Gold (183), Nickel (30), Cobalt (21), Copper (18), Iron ore (9), Platinum group metals (8). A count is a count of records, not tonnes, output or economic importance.
Boundary note: The map uses a deliberately conservative internal orientation box, not a statutory regional boundary.
How to continue the district search
Goldfields–Esperance region is associated in this editorial taxonomy with Gold, Nickel. Treat that list as a subject guide, not a resource estimate or site assignment.
Open the Geological Survey of Western Australia, search the district name and then switch on the current mines, deposits, geology and open-file report layers relevant to the question. Record the dataset title and retrieval date before citing a result.
