This is the world deepest open pit mine, it’s located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The mine is inOquirrh Mountains, this mountain also has mineral deposits like copper, gold, silver and lead.

Tau Tona Mine:-

This is a gold mine and this is the world deepest mine with astounding depth of 3.9 km. It’s located in Carletonville, South Africa. This mine will not come under the open pit mine since this mine is dug but digging shaft. Shaft is vertical hole made artificially. This kind of mines are highly dangerous safety measures should be taken to avoid human loss. There are no pictures available to show the depth of the mine so I am posting a picture to locate the mine in a map.

Kola Superdeep Borehole:-

You nerves will freeze if I say the depth of the hole. This one is deepest bore hole created for scientific research. Depth of the hole is 12.26 km, and the temperature at this level was expected at 100 degree centigrade but the temperature while reaching the depth was 180 degree centigrade. Later if we reach 13 km down the earth the temperature would be 300 degree centigrade where your driller won’t work. This hole is located in Russia.
