Super Pit is located in Kalgoorlie., a gold mine town in the south of Western Australia.
Super Pit is the largest gold mine in Kalgoorlie. This open pit is 3.6km long, 1.6km wide and 512m deep. It can produce eight hundred thousand ounces of gold every year, and it is one of the world's largest gold mines.
Super Pit can clearly see from space that it is known as one of the largest "man-made scars" on the planet. Super Pit is still operating all day, blasting at 1 pm every day, and the mine is expected to be mined until 2017, after which it will be abandoned. Let the groundwater gradually seep into it and fill it up. It is estimated that it will cost about 50 years to fill all the mines.
