Norseman lies at the southern end of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, in the Eastern Goldfields Province of the Yilgarn Block, Western Australia.

[2] The mine was owned by an unincorporated 50/50 joint venture between Tulla Resources, formerly Norseman Gold, and Pantoro Limited until a merger of the two in June 2023.

[1] Until its closure in 2014 it was Australia's longest continuously running gold mining operation, producing approximately six million ounces from its opening in 1935.

[8][9] Croesus Mining went into administration in June 2006,[10][11] after gold production levels at Norseman fell short of hedging commitments.

[18] in February 2023, it was announced Pantoro was seeking to acquire full ownership of Tulla Resources and the Norseman gold project.

[15] Production of the mine:[1] The gold processing plant at Phoenix, a mine abandoned in 1953, 20 kilometres (12 mi) south the North Royal Open Pit and 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the closed down Regent Shaft, uses conventional milling and carbon-in-leach technology to recover gold.
