Macraes Mine 35th Anniversary Open Day
In the Macraes Village, our celebration carnival brought our underground mine to the surface—our hop-on-hop-off bus tours even got fully booked out!
We offered a rare opportunity to explore parts of Macares Mine where attendees could climb onto our haul trucks, discover gold, and learn all things modern gold mining.
From bouncy castles to digger competitions, there was something for everyone! Families enjoyed an exclusive look inside our mine operations, climbed onto massive mining machinery and toured our processing plant. Over a thousand people came along for the ride to celebrate 35 years of OceanaGold.
