The Vatukoula mine is a gold mine in Fiji. It is one of the country's largest gold mines, and one of the largest in the world.[1] The mine is located in Vatukoula in the south of the country, on Viti Levu, the largest island of Fiji.[1]
The mine was closed in December 2006, and was subsequently reopened in April 2008 as the price of gold increased. The mine has an estimated 4.2 million ounces of gold.[1]
