Northern Grampians Shire chief executive Michael Bailey said he had not seen final numbers, but could confirm Stawell Gold Mines was starting to expand.
“They are employing people,” he said. “We are aware they are still doing exploration – this is a really positive upward trend from what was there eight months ago to now.”

Stawell Gold Mines has been contacted for comment.
