The Balagundi Goldfield is a small area stretching 3 kilometres north-north-west to south south-east, with the Paris Gift mine at the northern end and Bank of Ireland mine at the southern end, along the Paris Gift Reef.
The location is half-way between Kalgoorlie and Bulong, mainly north of the road. This road runs straight east-west, except for one small bend, from which tracks run north to the old workings.
The goldfield was active from 1896 to 1900, and only intermittently thereafter. A deep lead was also part of the goldfield resulting in an alluvial rush in the late 1890's.
