Mponeng Gold Mine: Inside the World’s Deepest Mine 

get out of my room I'm playing minecraft

@@dougdimmadoodahdaay7887 wtf 😂 ok?

@Geographics Why not pin two more comments of your advertisement!

@Geography Mponeng is not situated in Johannesburg. It is just outside Carletonville. The episode of Big, Bigger, Biggest does not show Mponeng, it is TauTona mine. Do your research fist before posting.

Simon plz do Red Lake Gold Mines! Rob McEwen did things noone thought possible with the internet at the beginning! Plz check it out

IT SHALL NOT PASSSS!

Right. "You shall not pass!!"

Lol

😂😂😂

Yeah he was woken up but then killed

And just as crazy, will be less dangerous as well. Much less risk of a cave in when gravity is close to non-existent.

The metal asteroids probably came from a breakup of a much larger body. When this body was formed it was probably much smaller than Earth, but large enough to form a spherical shape causing much of the rock to become molten, the heavier elements mostly migrated to the core. When at come time a collision scattered the body the still molten core had the heavier elements inside forming metal and stony metal asteroids (higher in heavier elements such as gold silver and platinum)we have today. The Earth has most of the heavier elements in the core and more deeply in the mantle and core. We depend on the vulcanism to bring these elements up to the surface and often hydrogeology to concentrate these elements into the veins and deposits we see on Earth today.

Don't look up.

@@resileaf9501 You mean, more dangerous cause there is no air that you can breethe. And no pressure. And the asteroid is moving with a insane speed and at any given time it can colide with something else. You should view the whole picture and not only a single thing that improves.

@@uwetheiss970 If we have the technology to mine asteroids, we have the technology to handle those problems as well.

I cant believe this mine is still sustainable at 8ppm. They transport the ore up the elevator at 20 tonnes a lift? I guess labour is cheap there but still that is insane.

Thank you!!!

Cheers to you mate!

Mine La Ronde (in Preissac, Quebec, Canada, relatively close to Timmins), aims to go even deeper than Kidd Creek (between 3.1 and 3.7km). But from what's shown online, they need to work on a better cooling solution if they wanna go that deep.

Why? Sauna exists

Lekker my boy🇿🇦🍻

intlonipho

It should be

At 2283 meters, is it even second? La Ronde (in Quebec, Canada) have a shaft of 2.2km, but they don't give the exact number. Might be close to each other.

Anyone with the money to is moving already The ANC have ripped this country to shreds

Boroughs are counties. It’s the only place in the US that I’m aware of where counties are smaller then a city. In upstate you have town sized villages within large townships which is also different then surrounding states. I got a speeding ticket in a village, since court was only open 2 days a month I had to pay it because the timing didn’t allow an trial without my state suspending my license first. History and how those governments interact would be interesting.

@@rydplrs71 I got ticketed by a State Trooper in a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, twice. About 14 years apart, but still.. same tiny little rural cluster of houses in the middle of nowhere outside a slightly less-tiny rural cluster of houses in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully I'm done mailing checks to a PO Box in the middle of the forest now.

Who cares? What a boring and insular topic for a video.

@@mrtoothless Tell us how you really feel eh?

@@rydplrs71 Ah I got ya. Counties make more sense. Appreciate it.

They are actually called Zam Zam here in South Africa Not sure what it means But many people will be confused if you say ghost miners

@@shiftorigi1346 Makes sense, but to be fair, ghost miners sounds pretty cool

How bad would it suck to go to take a dip in your Olympic sized pool and find it filled with gold? "Honey- come take a look at this bullshit".

Ur an idiot lmao...... Fort Knox alone has worth Trillions of gold my guy...

That's a lie

Lie

This is such an Australian comment

I've heard that working at the mines in Oz is a good deal, what's your view bro? Worth immigration for?

The mining industry has a massive excess of high wages which I personally have thought would eventually become unsustainable but so far it just keeps being paid. There's a lot FIFO (fly in/fly out) workers at the mines in Western Australia and wages are typically well over double what is the norm. My (almost) brother in law is currently driving trucks at the mines and he is earning about 3 times what he was in Victoria. Awful conditions with no social life as there's nothing around for hundreds of kilometers but money is awesome.

This is somthing I've been thinking about doing, and what better info to ask from other than a straight normal dude who lives there. Thank you brother its a real help.

it's cold underground until you get deep enough for the Earth's heat to make it life threateningly hot. Nasty gases down there to. I've been in some very deep caves. It sucks down there.

Wow

Where?

They need to see if the sawdust that makes up most of it is dry

This comment deserves likes.

That lawsuit was settled over a year ago. Also, no, not the same.

That's not a conspiracy theory, that's panspermia

You may wish to watch the historical documentary called Battlestar Galactica.

there's a couple of billion years difference tho

So we can effectively rule out intelligent extraterrestrial life then.

This has all happened before@@blazewardog
