The Super Pit
The Super Pit One of Australia’s largest open pit gold mines. Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) Operation is a world class asset located adjacent to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Stand beside Kalgoorlie's Super Pit and gaze open-mouthed into one of the largest open-cut mines on Earth and the biggest gold mine in Australia. About 900,000 ounces of gold are harvested here each year, making a total of 50 million ounces since it started operating in 1989. The hole is approximately 3.7 kilometres long, 1.5 kilometres wide and around 480 metres deep - big enough to bury Uluru.
The Super Pit is in Boulder along the Golden Mile.
To get your head around how this mining giant operates, pull on a hardhat and take a guided tour. Alternatively, take in the spectacle for free at the Super Pit Lookout, off the Goldfields Highway. Access to the Lookout is restricted during blasting times, contact the Kalgoorlie Boulder Visitor Centre for details.

HANNANS NORTH TOURIST MINE
The history of the mineshaft at Hannans North and its evolution into a tourist mine began in the early days of Kalgoorlie’s gold rush and continues today.
In 1972, an enthusiastic group of locals decided to open the Hainault mine to visitors. The recently closed Hainault shaft was identified as ideal for showcasing underground mining on Kalgoorlie’s famous Golden Mile. The Hainault shaft was originally pegged in 1893 and was a working mine until 1968. For nearly twenty years, in one of the most successful mines on the Eastern Goldfields, retired Kalgoorlie miners conducted underground tours and rock drilling demonstrations to over 750,000 visitors.
In 1991 the area where the Hainault mine was situated was incorporated into Kalgoorlie’s famous Super Pit. In recognition of the importance of showcasing mining to people visiting the area, the leaseholders, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) decided to establish a new visitor attraction in the Eastern Goldfields region. In the quest to find a new site, five shafts were examined. A down-hole camera was used to probe the tunnels and workings of the shafts. Of the five shafts examined, Hannans North was in the best condition, taking into consideration that it had been dormant for many years. Given its short distance from Kalgoorlie-Boulder and its historical importance, Hannans North was chosen as the site for the new facility. Displays from the Hainault mine, historical equipment and records relating to the area’s mining activities were collected and assembled at the new site, which is now known as Hannans North Tourist Mine.

Awesome video!
Storing those tyres under the baking sun isn't healthy for them!
Why is the title "Esperance to Kalgoorlie" when you got to Kalgoorlie in less than 3 minutes,didn't even see you go thru Gibson! You may as well just said it was a tour of the Super Pit and started the video there. But,a good video anyway apart from the editing.
Good video mate. Editing needs some work.👍
This production plant? Inorder to do that then on to 600 men/ woman
Your Editing needs improvement improvement
If only mining company's restored the land, some say they do but it's all BS.
Why would they, when the gullible Aussie Taxpayer will pay for it, even after paying massive subsidies to these almost tax free plunderers of our natural resources and sending the profits to overseas investors?
They do.
@@ivanolsen8596 Mining companies should be MADE to regenerate the land, NOT the Taxpayers
