Inside America’s Eastern Gold Giant: OceanaGold’s Haile Mine
This Kitco Mining feature is sponsored by OceanaGold.
Kitco Mining goes on site at OceanaGold’s Haile Gold Mine in Kershaw, South Carolina, the fourth-largest gold mine in the United States and the largest east of the Mississippi.
Gold was first discovered at Haile in 1827. Nearly 200 years later, the mine is entering a new growth phase, with OceanaGold targeting a production increase of close to 35% in 2026 as higher-grade underground ore, continued open-pit mining and exploration across the Carolina Slate Belt reshape the operation.
