How Super!

            The Fimiston Open Pit, colloquially known as the Super Pit, was Australia's largest open cut gold mine until 2016 when it was surpassed by the Newmont Boddington gold mine also in Western Australia. 
The Super Pit is located  on the south-east edge of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. It's rectangular in plan view and is approximately 3.5 kilometres long, 1.5 kilometres wide and over 600 metres deep.
Originally consisting of a large number of underground mines, it was consolidated into a single open pit mine in 1989 by Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines, a 50:50 corporate joint venture between Homestake Gold of Australia and Gold Mines of Kalgoorlie.
Gold production from the mine in 2020/21 was worth $AU 653,000,000.
I took this pano photo in 2015 so the pit will be considerably bigger by now.
