Site Reviews
worked here for a couple of shutdowns and construction. Lived in Kalgoorlie so didn't see the camp. Great view of the salt lake as you drive in/out of site. Plant is mainly new and well set up. Induction was really good. Great place for new comers to mining
St Ives consists of several mine sites on the one lease. It is located close to the township of Kambalda with both fly in fly out rosters and residential roles. Goldfields encourages the residential roles for most of their employees. The newly constructed mill is pretty impressive and they pump some gold out of the joint. ST Ives has a main underground contractor GBF from memory. pretty huge mining lease with massive open and underground pits. the town of kambalda is nice with a huge new recreational facility. pretty nice camp village that got constructed in 2008 i think. plenty of work around the area with a great town near by. St Ives has plenty of opportunities with a large variety of work.
