Video - Deepest Gold Mine In The World

[Steve Herschbach]

From Wikipedia:

"Mponeng is a gold mine in South Africa's North West Province. It extends over 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) below the surface, and is considered to be one of the most substantial gold mines in the world. It is also currently the world's deepest mine. The trip from the surface to the bottom of the mine takes over an hour."

That was a great show, thanks for sharing.  I wonder if all that rickety looking cribbing would meet American mining standards.

Thanks Steve, Mponeng is an incredible engineering feat and an ongoing economic marvel for South Africa.
