OceanaGold’s Haile Gold Mine in Kershaw, South Carolina, is entering a new growth phase as the company expects production to rise by close to 35% in 2026. Haile is the fourth-largest gold mine in the United States and the largest east of the Mississippi, with production expected to reach up to 260,000 oz of gold this year. In this Kitco Mining onsite feature, Paul Harris tours Haile’s open pits, underground workings, processing plant and exploration targets as the operation advances lower-cost underground growth and a $10 million exploration program. Gold was first discovered at Haile in 1827, and nearly 200 years later the mine remains central to South Carolina’s gold story as OceanaGold expands its North American production profile.
