Description
NOTE: The Aliens are using a similar method of this type of mining. (Fantasy)
Hard rock gold mining extracts gold encased in rock, rather than fragments in loose sediment, and produces most of the world's gold. Sometimes open-pit mining is used, such as at the Fort Knox Mine in central Alaska. Barrick Gold Corporation has one of the largest open-pit gold mines in North America located on its Goldstrike mine property in northeastern Nevada. Other gold mines use underground mining, where the ore is extracted through tunnels or shafts. South Africa has the world's deepest hard rock gold mine up to 3,900 metres (12,800 ft) underground. At such depths, the heat is unbearable for humans, and air conditioning is required for the safety of the workers. The first such mine to receive air conditioning was Robinson Deep, at that time the deepest mine in the world for any mineral.

What a fascinating digital art piece! Thanks so much for adding it to the "Art For Hurricane Sandy Relief" group, and pledging some or all of your commission from its sale from now and the end of the year to a charity working to help those who so need our help right now! V
