Celebrating 20 years of gold, growth and memories — this commemorative issue of the West Wyalong Advocate is a beautiful tribute to Cowal Gold Operations’ journey in the West Wyalong community.

From the early gold rush days, the commencement of mining in 2005, to our extended mine life to 2042, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come.

Featuring an address from General Manager Joe Mammen and a list of our longstanding employees, if you haven’t picked one up yet, don’t miss out — it’s a collector’s piece!

👉 Available TODAY at local newsstands and online.
