Darlot-Centenary Gold Mine

The Darlot-Centenary Gold Mine is a gold mine located 58 km east of Leinster, Western Australia.
It is operated by Red5 since the sale from Gold Fields Australia in 2017 where, since the beginning of 2008, was part of Gold Fields Yilgarn South operation, which consisted of Darlot, the Lawlers Gold Mine and the Granny Smith Gold Mine. The mine is located in the Yandal Greenstone Belt.
History.
Ore at Darlot-Centenary is mined in an underground operation at the Centenary deposit, discovered in 1996 next to the Darlot Gold Mine, which had a historical production in excess of 500,000 ounces. Homestake began mining the Centenary deposit in 1998.
The site, was originally owned by Sundowner Minerals, which was taken over by Forsayth group, then Plutonic Resources, a major Australian gold mining and exploration company. Homestake Mining Company purchased Plutonic in April 1998 for more than $1.0 billion, and, in turn, Homestake was acquired by Barrick Gold at the end of 2001.
Gold Fields Limited acquired the mine in October 2013 as part of a purchase that included Barrick's Lawlers and Granny Smith mines. Gold Fields then sold the mne to Red5 in 2017.
