Australia's town built on gold
19th August 2017
The Financial Times visits Kalgoorlie, a town in Western Australia that is home to the Super Pit - a huge operation to mine gold. Is the resource boom over for Australia? Probably not especially with global demand for lithium accelerating.
Western Australia has abundant mineral resources, including iron ore, nickel, lithium and copper. But Kalgoorlie's fame is built on gold.
We are proud to be a part of #Kalgoorlie’s golden legacy. @FT shares some of the history behind @KCGMSuperpit: https://t.co/vrQd4vqL2R
