History
In 1988, Great Central Mines discovered the deposit which was to become Plutonic, which the company sold for A$50 million.
The site was then owned by Plutonic Resources, a major Australian gold mining and exploration company. Homestake Mining Company purchased Plutonic in April 1998 for more than $1.0 billion, and, in turn, Homestake was acquired by Barrick Gold at the end of 2001.
Barrick Gold announced the divestment of Plutonic Gold Mine to Northern Star Resources Ltd on 22 December 2013, for A$25 million.
