Australian Operating Mines Map 2024

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This map shows the location and status of Australian operating mines, mines under development and mines under care and maintenance as at December 2024. Operating mines represent projects that were operational as at December 2024. Developing mines are deposits where the project has a positive feasibility study, development has commenced or all approvals have been received. Mines under care and maintenance represent those projects with known resource estimations where production has ceased but the site is managed to ensure it remains in a safe and stables condition, with potential to recommence operations in the future.
