Boddington bubbles with excitement By John Terrell Department of Industry and Resources An air of excitement has enveloped the South West town of Boddington since a commitment was given in late February to develop the deeper ore bodies of the Boddington gold mine. The CEO of the Shire of Boddington, Peter Bradbrook, said local business confidence had risen sharply, and the council was hiring new staff to cope with new housing and infrastructure requirements. “It is definitely an exciting new time in the history of Boddington,” Mr Bradbrook said. “We saw the local hardware shop double in size in anticipation of a go-ahead announcement. Applications have been received to establish a pharmacy in Boddington, a new crane hire business has started up, while numerous other commercial queries have also been Going deeper: The Boddington open cut, from which 4.7 million ounces of gold and 6572 tonnes of copper have so far been received.” produced.

  • Mineral Resources of Western
    MINERAL RESOURCES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1980 Issued under the authority of the Hon. P. V. Jones, M.L.A. Minister for Mines 89686-1 Since the publication of the last issue of this booklet in 1966 a major expansion of mineral production in Western Australia has been achieved. Deposits of iron, nickel, natural gas, bauxite, heavy mineral sands, uranium and diamond are now being worked or are known to be commercial. Over the period 1966 to 1971, following the initial discovery of nickel sulphide at Kambalda, a speculative boom in base metal exploration developed that could only be likened to the gold rush days around the turn of the century. Although not all of the exploration activity in this period was well directed, many new discoveries were made as a result of the ready availability of risk capital. In the wake of the boom it is mainly the true prospectors that remain-the individual, to whom the still sparsely populated areas of the State hold an irresistible appeal and the chance of rich bonanza, and the established and dedicated mining companies for whom exploration is a necessary and vital part of the minerals industry. 1 am confident that the persistence of these prospectors will be rewarded with yet further discoveries of economic mineral deposits. Western Australia, with an area of over 2.5 million square kilometres, has a wide diversity of rocks representing all geological periods, and vast areas have been incompletely prospected. This booklet presents an up to date account of the minerals that are, or have been, economically exploited in Western Australia.

If you have trouble reading this document and would like us to share the information with you in another way, please call Infrastructure WA on 08 6552 5229. Acknowledgment of Country Infrastructure WA acknowledges the traditional custodians throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures – and to Elders both past and present. Within Western Australia, the term Aboriginal is used in preference to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, in recognition that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants of Western Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander may be referred to in the national context. 2 Infrastructure WA Introduction In developing Western Australia’s first 20-year State Infrastructure Strategy (Strategy), the role and needs of the regions are critically important. To assist in understanding each region, the following profiles have been developed, which should be read in conjunction with A Stronger Tomorrow, State Infrastructure Strategy Discussion Paper. These profiles provide high level summary information and are not intended to be a comprehensive overview of each region. Key challenges and opportunities have been identified, based on Infrastructure WA’s initial consideration and feedback from engagement with many regional stakeholders.
