I love this picture (below) of the Entrance to the Fosterville Mine.​

The trucks drive down the road into a huge pit.​

The roads descends and winds a bit maybe 800m 'til it comes cave like "entrance"​

which is the "black hole" - bottom left.​

The trucks would then have maybe a 10 km journey or more winding downwards underground.​

The Swan Zone is about 1,000m down so 10km is about right.​

The trucks first drive through the Old Oxide Gold Mine "Pit" that Perseverance created.​

The Pit (Perseverance Mine) produced less than 200,000 oz of Gold.​

Way Below the Pit is where the Sulphide Gold is located - the Bonanza Gold.​

They have already mined something like 5m oz of this Gold, have Reserves of about 2.5m Oz​

and probably have much more than that as yet 'undrilled" and waiting to be found.​

So that little black hole which is the entrance leads to a Mine that will probably have​

(including had) something like 20M oz of Gold, maybe 30M, maybe more.​

They have only gone down to about 1200m or maybe a bit more with drilling.​

The Gold Zone is believed to go down to beyond 5km - so anybody's guess above 20m Oz.​

So I reckon that is a fascinating 'little black hole" bottom left in the Pic.​

(PS: Figures aren't exact but the concept is straight forward)
