Australische Gouden Zelfbruiner voor het Gezicht - Alles wat je moet weten

Tropicana

Tropicana is co-owned by AngloGold Ashanti (ASX:AGG,NYSE:AU,OTC Pink:AULGF), which owns 70 percent, and Regis Resources (ASX:RRL,OTC Pink:RGRNF), which owns the remaining 30 percent.

The mine spans 3,600 square kilometres and stretches over close to 160 kilometres in strike length along the Yilgarn Craton and Fraser Range mobile belt collision zone. The regional geology is dominated by granitoid rocks, making it a rare example of a large gold deposit within high-grade metamorphic rocks that have undergone widespread recrystallisation and melting.

In calendar 2023, Tropicana produced 442,887 ounces of gold, with AngloGold Ashanti’s 70 percent accounting for 310,000 ounces and the rest attributed to Regis.

As part of AngloGold Ashanti's commitment to lowering its carbon footprint, a 62 megawatt wind and solar facility is currently under construction at Tropicana. The project is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2025 and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the site by an estimated 65,000 per year.

Tropicana produced 102,763 ounces of gold during the second quarter of 2024.

Cadia Valley

Located in New South Wales, Cadia Valley is now owned and operated by Newmont following its acquisition of Newcrest Mining in November 2023. The mine is made up of the Cadia East underground panel cave mine and the Ridgeway underground mine (currently on care and maintenance), which produce gold doré bars from a gravity circuit and gold-rich copper concentrates from a flotation circuit.

Once the biggest gold mine in Australia, Cadia’s production numbers have been in decline in recent years, slipping from 843,000 in 2020 to 597,000 ounces in fiscal 2023. Output declines in 2023 were due to planned shutdowns as the company worked on development activities for the PC1-2 project and began cave ramp-up on PC2-3.

Newmont is forecasting further declines in production from Cadia in 2024. It set guidance at 370,000 ounces as it continues on underground development on block caves and tailings expansion and plans for the next decade of mine life.

Cadia produced 117,000 ounces of gold in the June quarter of 2024.

The first gold discovery was made on 12 February 1851

Hargraves was working along Lewis Pond Creek near Bathurst in February 1851 when his instincts told him gold was close by. He filled a pan with gravelly soil and drained it into the water when he saw a glimmer. Within the dirt lay small flecks of gold.

Hargraves sped to Sydney in March 1851 to present soil samples to the government who confirmed he had indeed struck gold. He was rewarded with £10,000 which he refused to split with his companions John Lister and the Tom Brothers.
