The Plutonic Gold Mine is a gold mine located 82 km east-northeast of Peak Hill, Western Australia.
It is owned and operated by Catalyst Metals Limited after a merger with the previous owner, Canadian miner Superior Gold, in June 2023.
[2] In 1988, Great Central Mines discovered the deposit which was to become Plutonic, which it sold for A$50 million in 1989,[3] to Plutonic Resources, then a major Australian gold mining and exploration company, who commenced production in 1990.
[4][5] Homestake Mining Company purchased Plutonic in April 1998 for more than $1.0 billion,[6] and, in turn, Homestake was acquired by Barrick Gold at the end of 2001.
[8][9][10] In June 2023, Australian gold producer Catalyst Metals Limited merged with Superior Gold and thereby acquired the project.>[11] Annual production figures for the Plutonic mine: AISC = All-in sustaining cost
