Article Headline:
Descending 3 500 m below surface
Abstract:
South Deep gold mine is an intermediate-to-deep-level gold mine comprising two shaft systems that mine various auriferous conglomerates from open ground and pillars that occur at depths between 1575 m and 3 500 m below surface, says Gold Fields in a technical report. The shaft systems comprise the older South Shaft complex - with its main shaft and two sub vertical shafts - and the newer flagship complex, known as Twin Shafts.
