The Bacchus Gift Gold Mine is approximately 60 kilometres north-west of Coolgardie, and 10 kilometres east of Dunnsville, on the Dunnsville-Kintore Road. The pit borders the north side of the road. The Newhaven open pit is across the road on the south side, and Newminster open pit a few hundred metres to the west.
Bacchus Gift was discovered by Barminco in the mid 1990's. They developed an open pit at the deposit at this time. A total of 81 315 tonnes of ore was extracted at 5.71 g/t Au yielding 14 937 ounces of gold.
