Mponeng gold mine
AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng gold mine, locatedsouth-west of Johannesburg in South Africa, is currently the deepest mine in the world. The operating depth at Mponeng mine ranged from between 3.16km to 3.84km below the surface by the end of 2018.
The ore reserves left at Mponeng reached 46.18 million ounces (Moz) by December 2018. The mine produced 265,000oz of gold in 2018.
Mponeng extracts the Ventersdorp Contact Reef (VCR) of the West Wits region of South Africa. The deep underground mine employs a sequential grid mining method. The shaft-sinking process at Mponeng began in 1981 while gold plant complex and the shafts were commissioned in 1986.
The mine is undergoing a two-phase expansion, which will extend its mine life upon completion. The first phase is expected to be completed by 2019 while the second phase has been temporarily put on hold due to capital constraints. AngloGold, meanwhile, announced plans to divest its South African assets, including the Mponeng gold mine in May 2019. The divestment will allow the company to appropriately allocate capital and resources to more attractive and higher return-generating projects in its portfolio.
