Each day, some forty Caterpillar 793 haul trucks lug 240,000 tonnes of earth to the surface on a round trip that can take up to forty minutes. From every eight trucks, about a golf-ball size amount of gold is extracted.
Beta Hunt Mine;
27,000 ounces of high grade coarse gold has been recovered from a 60 m3 cut (167 tonnes)
That's why this mine is a no brainers
So just to take it one step further (knowing there is still not much comparison) if you divide 40 by 8 it gives you 5 golf ball sizes of gold. How many ounces does that equate to? :-))
= 15 ounces lot of work for that amount.
