Newmont Boddington is a gold and copper producing mine located in Boddington, 130km south-east of Perth, and situated within the Saddleback greenstone belt. The history of the gold mine dates back to mid-1980 when gold was first discovered on the site.

Newmont commenced construction of the current operation in 2009 and has consistently delivered over 800,000 gold equivalent ounces per annum. The operation is one of the largest employers in the South-West of Western Australia.

Newmont Boddington is an active community partner and supporter of community projects and local businesses. It is the proud sponsor of the Bibbulmun Track Foundation’s ‘Eyes on the Ground’ maintenance programme.

Anaconda

Anaconda was founded in November 2004 by an Australian retailing family. Anaconda’s founders were concerned that Australia’s outdoor and adventure culture was in decline, with many people seeking their leisure and entertainment indoors. This family, who love the outdoors themselves, realised that Australia really didn’t have a one-stop-shop for outdoor and adventure equipment. This is how the vision of Anaconda – Australia’s largest camping and adventure superstore – was born.

Anaconda is committed to continuing to provide high-quality gear and offer excellent value to all Australians. Anaconda believes in giving back to the communities in which they live. The conservation of national parks and the traditional homelands of the Aboriginal people is central to who they are. Anaconda promotes only responsible outdoor pursuits and always take responsibility for their actions because the environment is their business.
