Normandy Mining was an Australian mining company which predominantly mined gold. Normandy was, during much of the late 20th century, Australia's largest gold miner.[1][2]
Normandy ceased to exist when it was taken over by the Newmont Mining Corporation in February 2002,[3] and became Newmont Asia Pacific instead.[4]
The company produced gold mainly from its Western Australian mines, which, in 1998, provided approximately 50% of its production, followed by the Northern Territory and Queensland with approximately 15% each. International gold production contributed for less than 10% of the overall company production.[5]
