Gold mining, a precision industry
Gold mining, massive machinery,energy, force
Gold mining, a precision industry ,[object Object]
Locating the Gold is a major activity with exploration drilling from the surface
The Gold bearing rock (ore) must be kept separate from the waste rock, dilution is a major cost driver
The ore is crushed very finely and the gold is extracted chemically with a very precise process
The gold is then extracted from the chemical mix and smelted in a furnace from which rough gold bars are produced
Fine gold is extracted and then sold for manufacturing of jewellery, electronic circuitry, etc
South Africa has produced 40% of recent world Gold production from these mines,[object Object]
4.7 x BurjKhalifa
2 kilometers BELOW sea level,[object Object]
Hard metamorphosed rock Northcliff – vitrified (ceramic) Quartzite – intense heat and pressure Gold mine– vitrified (ceramic) Quartzite – intense heat and pressure
Dipping at about 30 degrees Horizontally deposited under water but now dipping about thirty degrees How did this Happen?
Dipping at about 30 degrees
Highly complex geology
Gold fieldsDispersed and highly faulted

  2. Gold jewelleryHeadgearsLocating the oreMining at huge depths with safetyMassive coolingPrecision explosionsChemically extracting the gold from the rockMinute quantities, grams per ton – gold ring against tonnes of oreGold plant – ball mill, etcGoldpourSlimes dams

  6. Same formation as Northcliff and the Magaliesberg – photos of bothGreat extent, map of gold fieldsCollage of headgears
  7. Very hard rock – same as Northcliff – suggestion of comparable pressure on formationMetamorphosedPressure and heatRoller compacted concrete damPhotos from my thesis – samples – creation of artificial rock
  8. Horizontally deposited under water but now dipping at about 30 degrees to the South and the West with Northcliff as a pivot point relative to the mines in the East and South and those on the WestVertical section through a shaft showing dip, tunnels, drives, etc

  12. Faulting to great depthDeepest shafts to / planned to over 5 km under ground, 3 km below sea levelShow tallest building in Johannesburg and tallest in the world stacked against depth of 5 kmMassive faulting, blocks movedDip varies, Depth variesSections from Geology of South Africa and other sourcesJohannesburg Graben – dolerite dyke
  13. Rough scale drawing – deduce thickness perpendicular to slope from distances on 1:50,000 or find a direct reference to the thickness of the Witwatersrand system – Mark Grave Stratigraphic column about 2,000 m deep – reaches to below sea level and then the deepest ore body is about 6 km underground, 4 km below sea level and the deepest mine is close to 4 km deep, about 2,000 m below sea levelDiagram
  14. Massive hydraulic actionVery large body of waterNo evidence of delta’s (show Nile or Red Sea – from Google Earth) – diagram of advancing slopeNo evidence of edge of the inland seaMore sedimentary rocks hundreds and even thousands of miles awayMassive tectonic action accompanying the massive hydraulic actionAny explanation must deal precisely with what the miners have foundLook for references to signs of human artefacts in South African mines
