This list of deepest mines includes operational and non-operational mines that are at least 2,224 m (7,297 ft), which is the depth of Krubera Cave, the deepest known natural cave in the world. The depth measurements in this list represent the difference in elevation from the entrance of the mine to the deepest excavated point.

From 1953 to 1963, it was regarded as the deepest cave in the world at −1,122 metres (−3,681 ft), relinquishing this title to the previous contender, Pierre Saint Martin, in 1964, after further exploration. The Gouffre Berger is now ranked 39th deepest cave in the world, and the 4th in France.
Scientists using an ocean drilling vessel have dug the deepest hole ever in rock from Earth's mantle - penetrating 4,160 feet (1,268 meters) below the Atlantic seabed - and obtained a large sample ...
Pagosa hot springs are the world's deepest geothermal hot spring. [13] [14] In 2020 the depth was measured by a collaborative team from the Center for Mineral Resources Science (CMRS) and the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey. The measuring device went to a depth of 1002 feet, but the "tape measure" had reached its full ...
