Is the Homestake gold mine dangerous to work and how?
ALL mining (especially underground mining) CAN be dangerous. While the Homestake mine is no longer an active mine, consider that workers could be 8000 ft below ground, and hazards include large moving machinery, high voltage electricity, rock falls, use of explosives, rock dust in the air, and noise. Homestake was a very professionally operated mine with a good safety program, but no program can remove ALL dangers.

Does South Dakota have gold mines?
South Dakota has no working underground gold mines but does have surface gold mining in the Black Hills. One of the world's deepest, and oldest, gold mines was the Homestake Mine outside of Deadwood and Lead. Homestake operated from 1876 until 2002 (with a closure during WW II) and produced about $1 billion in gold. Plans are to re-open the mine as the Deep Underground Science Lab (DUESL). Raymond Davis won a a Nobel Prize for his neutrino detection experiments, done while Homestake was still a working gold mine. George Hearst bought the original claim to Homestake in 1877. The television series "Deadwood" includes an account of this. There are several other closed underground gold mines in the Black Hills. Wharf Resources still operates open pit mines outside of Lead & Deadwood. Those pit mines are likely to close in the next ten years.
