Operations Overview

Click on boxes to view Operations

St Barbara is focused on low cost, high margin gold operations.  The Gwalia mine at Leonora is the Company's cornerstone asset, with 1.6 million ounces of gold in reserves and an indicative mine life in excess of nine years.  Operations at Southern Cross in Western Australia are based around the Marvel Loch Underground mine and treatment plant.

The Company is operating in proximity to nearby townships with established infrastructure, giving it a significant advantage over newer operations.  In addition to treatment plants, infrastructure includes airstrips, power generation, accommodation, water and social infrastructure.

The Company encourages employees to live locally but has an active fly-in/fly-out work force.
