RE:RE:RE:Gold rush on Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Golden Mile...Wow great info:
Kalgoorlie-Boulder, 600km east of Perth, is famous for the Golden Mile that sparked the greatest gold rush Australia has seen, and it celebrates its 125th birthday this week.
Once considered the richest square mile on Earth, the Golden Mile has produced more than 60 million ounces of gold — and counting.
At today's gold price of about $1,650 an ounce, that is the equivalent of about $100 billion worth of the precious metal.
This week marks 125 years since prospectors William Brookman and Samuel Pearce registered the Great Boulder lease, which has now been swallowed up by the Super Pit, Australia's most famous gold mine.
$100 billion gold AUD in just 1 square mile, and still going. Yes that is good to know for same region we are in.
