The Golden Cross mine site is situated eight kilometres north-west of Waihi in the Waitekauri Valley at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula. The mine site ranges from 270 metres to 460 metres above sea level on steep to rugged terrain, which receives in excess of three metres of rain per year. The site is bordered on three sides by land controlled by the Department of Conservation, including the ecologically sensitive Coromandel State Forest Park.
