Leinster Underground is an underground nickel mine within BHP Nickel West’s Leinster Nickel Operation, located in the northern goldfields of Western Australia.
Thiess began work at Leinster in 2016, when the team excavated around 610 metres of horizontal development to access nearly 230,000 tonnes of ore using sub-level open stoping mining methods.
