St Ives - AKA Ives Find 
the area was originally know as Ngalbain

St Ives is located 55 kilometres south of Kalgoorlie near Lake Lefroy in the Eastern Goldfields region of WA. St Ives takes its name from the largest of many small historic workings scattered throughout the area which is St Ives Reward, which was discovered by prospective Patrick Ives in 1919. Mining here was discontinued for many years and was resumed in 1981 by the Western Mining Corporation.
