This renowned Kalgoorlie-Boulder landmark is currently 2.2 miles long, almost a mile wide and 1200 feet deep, and will eventually stretch 2.4 miles long, one mile wide and reach a depth exceeding 1600 feet. Since 1893, when Irishman Paddy Hannan first made his famous discovery, more than 50 million ounces (1700 US tons) of gold have been mined from the Golden Mile.
