Kirkland Lake Gold and ABC Bullion have again partnered with the Victorian Racing Club to produce the pure Victorian gold 2021 Lexus Melbourne Cup, a testament to the hard work and perseverance of Australians.
The race that stops a nation was born from the wealth of the Victorian gold rush that brought the world to our doorstep and transformed the nation.
The 2020 Lexus Melbourne Cup visited Bendigo last week to celebrate its origins, made using gold from the Fosterville Gold Mine, located just 20kms outside of the City, crafted by the skilled workers of ABC Bullion.
2020 marks the first-time gold from the Bendigo region in Victoria has been used to make the prestigious Cup.
As we celebrate the 160th anniversary of the first Melbourne Cup this year, Australian gold workers from Kirkland Lake Gold and ABC Bullion stand proud, having produced the People’s Cup from Australian gold.
The iconic golden trophy carries with it much more than just the title of winner – it’s an integral part of our country’s fabric, representing Australian tradition, mateship, resilience and our collective spirit.
For the fourth consecutive year, Evolution Mining and ABC Bullion have partnered to craft one of the world’s most iconic gold horse racing trophies, right here in Australia.
This year’s trophy is especially significant as it symbolises the 100-year anniversary of the ‘Loving Cup’ design, with each of the Cup’s three handles representing the owner, trainer, and jockey respectively.
