Leinster Nickel Mine is a surface and underground nickel mine, 5 km north of Leinster, Western Australia. The deposit was discovered in 1971 and the mine opened in 1978, operated by the Agnew Mining Company. It was purchased by WMC Resources in 1988 which, in turn, was taken over by BHP in 2005.
The mine has suffered a number of fatalities throughout its operation, most notably on 27 April 1977, when five employees were killed in one incident.
