Senior detectives from the Kalgoorlie-based Gold Stealing Detection Unit were investigating two prospectors when they stumbled across an alleged million-dollar gold theft involving senior management at a West Australian mining company, the District Court has heard.
Five people are on trial over the alleged theft of 8,465 tonnes of gold-bearing ore from the Greenfields Mill – owned by FMR Investments — between December 2018 and January 2019.
