EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Ferreira Deep Mine in Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa during the early 1900s. The image showcases a collection of Ferreira gold bars, their shiny, yellow surfaces reflecting the light in the dimly lit room. Gold mining was a significant industry in South Africa during this period, and the Ferreira Mine, located in the town of Ferreirasdorp, was one of the most productive in the region. The discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand area of Transvaal in the late 1800s led to a massive influx of miners and entrepreneurs, transforming the region into a bustling hub of industrial activity. The Ferreira Mine, established in 1893, was named after its founder, J.C. Ferreira, and was renowned for its rich gold deposits. The gold bars in this photograph are a testament to the mine's success and the immense value of the precious metal. The mining process involved extracting gold from the ore using a cyanide solution, which left behind a fine gold powder. The gold was then melted and poured into molds to create bars, which were then transported to the surface for sale. The Ferreira Mine operated until the late 1900s, contributing significantly to the economic development of South Africa and the global gold market. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of gold mining in South Africa during the early 1900s.
