Kalgoorlie Faces End of Gold Era Amid Subsidy Clash

Kalgoorlie threatens a gold drought as Western Mining plans to wind down Gold Mines of Kalgoorlie and Central Norseman. A subsidy rise from $4 to $12 an ounce is urged to extend life, with 50 jobs at stake and up to 20 older workers likely to lose work. The government debate centers on retaining a portion of the gold premium to producers. A parallel push seeks a $500,000 casino and resort to revive the town’s economy, despite the Premier’s opposition to expanding gambling facilities.
