Windarra Mine

Western Australia, Australia

The Windarra Nickel Mine was a surface and underground nickel mine near Laverton, Western Australia. The deposit was discovered in 1969 with the mine opened in 1974 by WMC Resources. Mining ceased in 1991. Mining was carried out at two locations, South Windarra, 16 km west of Laverton, and Mount Windarra, 22 km north-west of Laverton. The process plant for the ore was located at Mount Windarra but has since been dismantled. The discovery of nickel at Windarra triggered the 1969–70 Poseidon bubble.
