The Kanowna Belle Gold Mine is a gold mine {{convert|19|km|mi}} north-east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, near the ghost town of Kanowna.

It is operated by Northern Star Resources[1] Kanowna Belle has one viewing platform and an interpretive centre.[2][3]

History

The gold deposit was discovered in 1989 by Delta Gold NL and Geopeko Gold and construction begun in 1992, with mining in open pit operation starting in 1993.[4] The mine was officially opened by Western Australian Premier Richard Court on 19 November 1993.[5]

The project was solely owned by Delta Gold Ltd from 1999, when it purchased the remaining 50% for A$90 million. Delta later merged with fellow Australian company Goldfields Ltd to form Auriongold Ltd in February 2002.[4] Aurion was taken over by Placer Dome Inc in 2003, who already, at this stage, held a 60% interest in the mine,[6] and Placer Dome in turn by Barrick Gold in March 2006 for US$10.4 billion.[4][7]

The Kanowna Belle processing plant, as of 2008, treated ore from three underground operations, Kanowna Belle, Raleigh and Bullant.[1] In 2016 ore was sourced from Raleigh-Rubicon at Kundana, and from Kanowna Belle.[8]

In August 2009, Daniel Williams, a truck driver working 900 metres underground, fell to death at the mine.[9][10] It was the fourth fatal accident in Australian mining in 2009 and the eighth in 14 months.[11]

Technology

The Kanowna site is underground a trial of Caterpillar’s Minegem autonomous loader technology.[12]
