Our four Australian mines – Agnew, St Ives, Granny Smith and Gruyere – are located in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, where more than 1,600 staff are employed on a residential and fly-in, fly-out basis.

In the more than 20 years since Gold Fields' acquired St Ives and Agnew gold mines, our industry presence has expanded exponentially.

This was further bolstered by the acquisition of the Granny Smith and Lawler's gold mines from Barrick Gold in October 2013.

In November 2016, Gold Fields formed a 50 per cent joint venture agreement with Gold Road for the Gruyere deposit, which is mined as an open pit, with production commencing in 2019.
