Q2351504
The Homestake Mine was a deep underground gold mine located in Lead, South Dakota. Until it closed in 2002, it was the largest and deepest gold mine in the Western Hemisphere. The mine produced more than forty million troy ounces of gold during its lifetime. This is about 2,500 cubic feet (71 m3) or a volume of gold roughly equal to 18,677 US gallons. The mine has since reopened and has been owned and operated by Dakota Gold Corp since 2022.
