Mponeng Gold Mine
The Mponeng (‘look at me’ in Sotho) Gold Mine, which has been in commission since 1986, is located southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. Mponeng currently holds records as the world’s deepest gold mine and the world’s deepest mine, with depths reaching over 4.0 km below the surface. Because temperatures can reach up to 150°F in the mine at such depths, an ice slurry must be pumped into Mponeng to maintain temperatures that can be withstood by humans.
Over 5,400 tonnes of rock are mined from Mponeng daily, although gold output has steadily decreased over the last decade (which increases interest in digging even deeper).
