The lease area of the St Ives Gold Mine extends from about five kilometers to 25 kilometers southsouth- west of the town of Kambalda in Western Australia, which is located about 630 kilometers east of Perth and 80 kilometers south of Kalgoorlie, the nearest major town.

The mine exploits structurally controlled hydrothermal gold deposits situated in the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, which is part of the Yilgarn Craton, a 2.6 Ga granite-greenstone terrain in Western Australia. Ore is currently mined from three underground mines, three open pits and ten surface stockpile sources, and processed through a carbon in process plant and a heap leach plant. The mine has a Mineral Resource of 6.9 million ounces of gold and a Mineral Reserve of 2.3 million ounces.

During financial 2010 St Ives produced 421,100 ounces of gold at a cash cost of A$806 per ounce and an NCE of A$1,110 per ounce.

For the year to end-June 2011 the outlook for St Ives is to produce between 440,000 and 460,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of between A$760 and A$785 per ounce and an NCE of between A$1,030 and A$1,060 per ounce.
