Open pit mine at Waihī
The giant open pit of the Martha gold mine at Waihī in New Zealand’s North Island. Waihī still produces more gold than anywhere else in New Zealand but most of the workings are now underground. This open pit mine is one of the only such mines in the middle of a populated township in the world.
