Big money, gold mines and major mining infrastructure are moving across Australia. ⛏️🚜

Australian junior miners are sitting on billions in cash, while some in the industry are warning proposed tax changes could affect future exploration investment.

In WA, Westgold Resources is considering a $100 million expansion of its Meekatharra gold processing hub — potentially increasing the amount of ore that can move through the operation.

Ramelius Resources has increased its gold reserves by 79%, while Evolution Mining’s Mungari operation has delivered record gold production and $652 million in mine cash flow following its processing expansion.

From processing plants and mine infrastructure to haulage, earthmoving and heavy mining equipment, there is a lot happening across Australia’s gold sector.
