Cadia-Ridgeway Mine

New South Wales, Australia

Cadia Mine is a series of large underground and open-cut gold and copper mines located in the Cadia Valley, - about 20 kilometers south of regional city, Orange - in New South Wales, Australia. The mine has been expanded since 1990s, and has become a major employer within the region, having an expected lifespan of several decades. Cadia is the second largest open cut mine in Australia, after the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Large mineral deposits have recently been uncovered at the site's two underground mines - the newly-developed Ridgeway mine, and Cadia East mines - adjacent to the Cadia Open-Cut Mine. The mine is currently operated by Newmont.
