MinePath regional guide
WA Goldfields mining jobs: Kalgoorlie is more than the Super Pit.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Leonora and Laverton sit inside one of Australia’s deepest gold-mining labour markets, with both residential and FIFO work.
Compared with the Pilbara, the Goldfields gives job seekers more underground gold exposure and more chances to search by regional town.
