Where is the world’s longest elevator and how long is it?

Answer: Gold mines in South Africa go a few kilometers below the surface. The world’s deepest mine now is the Mponeng, is a gold mine in South Africa's North West Province. It extends over 4 kilometres below the surface, and is considered to be one of the most substantial gold mines in the world. The lift itself descends 3037 m to a point 1200 m below sea level.
