Randfontein Estates - Cooke

A second view of GMAM R5, looking south with Cooke 3 shaft in the background. If the line here is closed, so presumably is this mine?

 

At the time of our visit it was estimated that the gold content in each train had a value of one million US Dollars. Unfortunately it was embedded within another thousand plus tons of rock and spoil, making a quick heist somewhat difficult!
