A magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Kalgoorlie/Boulder, Western Australia, Australia, was reported only 15 minutes ago by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Australia. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 4.3 miles beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, at 4:30 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Mount Burges (pop. 100) located 10 miles from the epicenter. In Karlkurla (pop. 170, 14 miles away), West Lamington (pop. 1,400, 14 miles away), Coolgardie (pop. 860, 15 miles away), Kalgoorlie-Boulder (pop. 4,200, 15 miles away), Williamstown (pop. 140, 16 miles away), Stoneville (pop. 2,800, 34 miles away), Kambalda West (pop. 1,700, 40 miles away), and Kambalda East (pop. 1,200, 42 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
