Norton is the ninth-largest gold producer in the state according to Data & Insights, turning out more than 260,000 ounces annually at the Paddington goldmine 35km northwest of Kalgoorlie in FY2025.
Its parent company is Zijin Gold International, which listed on the Hong Kong exchange in September 2025 as a spin-off from Zijin Mining Group in what was the largest gold mining IPO of all time.
Zijin remains partially owned by the Chinese government and is one of the world’s largest goldminers, with operations spanning multiple continents.
