The St Ives Gold Mine is a gold mine located 20 km south-east of Kambalda, Western Australia. It is owned by the South African mining company Gold Fields.
It is one of two mines the company operates in Australia, the other being the Agnew Gold Mine.
Ore is mined at St Ives in three under ground and four open pit operations.
St Ives is named after the prospector Pat Ives, who discovered what became the working of Ives Reward in 1919.
The mine was purchased by Goldfields from WMC in late 2001. The combined price for the two Australian operations Goldfields purchased, St Ives and Agnew, was US$180 million in cash and US$52 million in Gold Fields shares.
St Ives, as of 2009, employs 249 permanent staff and 926 contractors.
