23.01.2022 Selenite is a popular crystal when it comes to cleansing and clearing the home or office space. It dispels negative energy and enhances clarity, focus and creates calm in any space. Selenite is also a favorite night time crystal among users for combating insomnia and getting a good night's sleep. It aptly represents the mindset that a person should have before heading to bed calm and clear. Selenite is commonly found in the deep caves of Mexico, Morocco and Madagascar and the raw crystal formations can be as long as 35 feet. We have a beautiful range in store. Pop out and have a visit with us 9am - 4pm Sunday to Friday

21.01.2022 MEET MORTY The Morty headframe and shaft was named after John Morty, an early director of South Kalgurli Gold Mines Ltd. Originally erected in the late 1890s as an inwards inclining four poster structure, the headframe was modified over the years until the present A-frame form was achieved by about 1950. It was relocated to the current position in 1993. Cages such as seen in the headframes skyshaft were used to carry trucks of ore (in mines which were not equipped with ore sk...ips), equipment and materials. Although the lack of side protection made it hazardous, they were also used for man carrying. Rails fitted to the footplate to match those on the surface and underground, allowed roll-on roll-off handling of equipment trolleys and ore trucks.

10.01.2022 In 2015, Apple recovered 2,204 pounds of gold through take-back initiatives in 2015. At today’s gold price, that amounts to roughly $86.13 million worth of gold. WOW! Here’s a look at some of the other metals Apple recovered from old electronics: Aluminum 4,518,200 pounds Copper 2,953,360 pounds... Nickel 39,762 pounds Lead 44,080 pounds Tin 4408 pounds Silver 6612 pounds But rather than selling these materials, Apple reuses them in their own electronics. The company boasts that it has kept approximately 597 million pounds of equipment out of landfills since 1994, collecting roughly 90 million pounds of e-waste in 2015. Thats pretty cool

09.01.2022 WHERE DOES GOLD COME FROM? HOW DOES IT GET THERE? DOES IT GROW? Hummmm sciencedaily.com says - During the formation of Earth, molten iron sank to its centre to make the core. This took with it the vast majority of the planet's precious metals -- such as gold and platinum. In fact, there are enough precious metals in the core to cover the entire surface of Earth with a four-metre thick layer.... goldrushnuggets.com says - Gold is not formed on the Earth like diamonds and many other gems and minerals. Instead, most scientists now believe that gold actually came to earth from outer space in large meteorites that have struck the planet over billions of years. In fact, most of the gold on Earth is actually located in its core where its heavy properties caused it to sink over time. The gold that is found near the surface comes from relatively recent strikes of meteors that contained a considerable amount of gold. What's the real story; do you know?

06.01.2022 Want to see 1,000,000 tonnes of dirt moved in 25 seconds? Today our team conducted an unusually large blast in a new area of the Fimiston Open Pit called Oroya ...Brown Hill (OBH). This event was part of our remediation plans for the East Wall, extending KCGM’s life of mine and creating long-term employment, procurement and investment opportunities for Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The blast was deployed by Student Leaders Damian and Joshua from East Kalgoorlie Primary School. KCGM has been a proud partner of East Kalgoorlie Primary School, one of our closest neighbours, for over a decade. As OBH is a new mining area and still quite close to the surface, you may have noticed a bit of extra dust towards the top end of town this afternoon. To minimise impacts, our team was closely monitoring wind conditions in the lead up to the event. What do you think of KCGM’s operations, including our blasting activities? Let us know by completing our Local Voices Pulse Survey: voconiqlocalvoices.com/kalgoorlie-boulder/

02.01.2022 Tomorrow (Thursday) at 1pm, we will be moving close to 1 million tonnes of dirt in a new area of the Fimiston Open Pit called Oroya Brown Hill. Easily visible f...rom Super Pit Lookout, this is a great opportunity to see a blast in action during the school holidays. Better still, the blast will be initiated by local students from East Kalgoorlie Primary School. To help you appreciate the scale of this event, our team has undertaken a significant amount of planning and preparation including: Drilling over 1,780 holes to a depth of 11 metres over nine days, each 165mm in diameter the equivalent of four golf balls Loading over 200 tonnes of explosives into the holes across four days Adhering to strict safety procedures, including checking each hole to ensure it has been dug to the correct depth, and that the precise amount explosives has been loaded Continually monitoring wind conditions to minimise potential impacts This unusually large blast is part of the East Wall cutback, extending KCGM’s life of mine and creating local employment, procurement and community investment opportunities. Our team will be up at the Lookout from 1pm Thursday to answer any questions you may have about the Blast or KCGM’s operations generally. To ensure we can get the blast off safely there may be some delays and possible postponement, though we will keep those at the Lookout updated throughout the afternoon. What do you think of KCGM’s operations, including our blasting activities? Let us know by completing our Local Voices Pulse Survey: voconiqlocalvoices.com/kalgoorlie-boulder/
