This paper examines the limits and pressures imposed on South African deep-level mining technology by changing economic and socio-political constraints that have obliged mining engineers to adapt their practices of "getting gold out of the ground." Initially employing straight-forward arguments about the importance of means for achieving ends, the paper eventually raises questions that complicate our understanding of practices that underlie simple conceptions of mining technology
