The Super Pit’s origin dates back to the early 1890s when abundant finds across the outback sent the world racing to Western Australia. It was during this gold rush that the celebrated Golden Mile was delineated near the mining town of Kalgoorlie, which is now home to the Super Pit. At almost 3.5 kilometres long, 1.5 kilometres wide and more than 600 metres deep, the Super Pit produces approximately 700,000 ounces of gold each year
