Our history

Norton Gold Fields Limited listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in September 2005 with a portfolio of copper and gold projects in Central Queensland. In 2007, the company acquired the Mount Morgan gold tailings project in Central Queensland and the Paddington Gold Mine near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia - a significant milestone in Norton's growth. Norton's presence in Kalgoorlie was strengthened in 2008 with the acquisition of Bellamel Mining Limited. In 2010, the company's coal tenements, the Sienna and Electra Projects in Central Queensland, were sold to reduce debt and enabled Norton to focus on gold opportunities.

Today

Norton is a strong, gold focused business. We are one of Australia's largest domestic gold producers with annual unhedged gold production of more than 150,000 ounces (oz). We have a solid pipeline of opportunities to achieve sustainable long-term growth.

The company has a mining and processing complex in Western Australia's world class Kalgoorlie gold region. We have significant gold reserves and resources (JORC compliant gold Ore Reserves of 1.1Moz and Mineral Resources of 5.9Moz), providing a mine life in 2 excess of ten years. In addition, we have 693km of mining and exploration tenements around our operations with more than 80 prospects.

We have assembled an experienced, high capability board and management team and have 250 staff located in Western Australia and at our Brisbane corporate office.

Our future

We are committed to continuing to improve the performance of the business. Our growth will be realised through development of a pipeline of organic projects, strategic acquisitions and further investment into exploration.
