I used to work in Stilfontein...that's where our local warehouse was...from there we would drive all over to check on our drilling rigs.

Every inch of a 10,000 foot deep hole was cored....and brought to the surface....might take two years...

They wanted to know which way the gold was running so that they could determine where future shafts and tunnels would be mapped and planned....

They even had small drilling rigs set and up and drilling core samples down in the mine itself, two miles down. We had to go down into the mine and check the drilling fluid on them, too!

And once the gold is gone, one could make a FORTUNE filling up those mines with radioactive waste...
