Waihi Operation
Our Waihi operation is located in the Waihi township on the North Island of New Zealand within a district that has produced 8 Moz of gold to date.
Gold has been mined in the Waihi district since the 1800s, with OceanaGold acquiring the Waihi mine in 2015. We are currently mining the Martha Underground and advancing the Waihi North project (including Wharekirauponga) nearby. The operation employs over 400 people.
