Description

Bendigo Mining Limited (ASX: BDG) is an Australian gold producer which owns and operates two producing underground gold mines in Australia; the Kangaroo Flat Mine in Bendigo, Victoria and the Henty Gold Mine which is situated on the West Coast of Tasmania. The company plans to consolidate a profitable production base of around 80,000 oz of gold a year, which it aims to grow through successful exploration and acquisition.

The Bendigo Goldfield has the second largest historical production for a goldfield in Australia (after Kalgoorlie's Golden Mile) with an historic total production of 22 million ounces of gold from over a century of mining.

The Henty Gold Mine was acquired in July 2009 and has produced in excess of one million ounces of gold over a 13 year period. The Henty Gold Mine is situated 10 km south of the Rosebery base metals mine, on the West Coast of Tasmania.
