The Lawlers Gold Mine is a gold mine located 23 km south west of Leinster, Western Australia.

It is operated by Barrick Gold and, since the beginning of 2008, part of its Yilgarn South operation, which consists of Lawlers, the Darlot-Centenary Gold Mine and the Granny Smith Gold Mine. The mine is located in the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt.[2]

History

Gold was first discovered in the region in 1892 and the town side of Lawlers, named after Patrick Lawler who found the first gold in a nearby creek, was established. Of the original town of Lawlers, only the old police station is still standing.[3]

The site, was originally owned by Plutonic Resources, a major Australian gold mining and exploration company.[4][5] Homestake Mining Company purchased Plutonic in April 1998 for more than $1.0 billion,[6] and, in turn, Homestake was acquired by Barrick Gold at the end of 2001.[7]

Ore at Lawlers is mined in an underground operation.[2]

In June 2009, Lawlers has been certified as fully compliant with the International Cyanide Management Code.[8]
