«Breaking News» Biggest gold nugget EVER is found in Australia: Miners unearth 14-stone monster worth £2m

A miner has unearthed the biggest gold nugget in history, leading him to secure 40 stone of the precious metal in a £10million find.

Henry Dole made the huge discovery at the Beta Hunt mine near Kambalda in western Australia.

He first found a nugget weighing 14 stone, 10 of which was estimated to be made of the precious metal. Worth about £2million, it took three men to lift the piece.

Mr Dole (pictured with a piece from the total haul) discovered the largest nugget of gold ever and it took three men to lift it 

It beats the country's Welcome Stranger nugget, which was previously though to be the biggest ever discovered with a weight of just under 12.3 stone.  

Airleg driller Mr Dole then came across a second nugget that weighed about 9.4 stone with an estimated worth of £1.5million before uncovering even more, Daily Star reports.  

The miner - who has more than 16 years' experience - said he has seen 'nothing like this' in his entire career.  

'As I was drilling it, you could see the gold shavings coming out of all the holes and I thought "there’s something here",' he said.

'And then after we fired it and I came in the next day and washed it all down, it was just everywhere.'

He unearthed the 'unbelievable' haul while working about 500 metres underground for RNC Minerals. 

The total haul (pictured, top, and, below, pieces of the total find) is estimated to be worth £10millio

 

 Diggers unearthed a huge haul of the precious metal while working in western Australia, including the world's heaviest nugget of gold to date 

The firm's chief executive, Mark Selby, said that finding such huge nuggets was a 'once-in-a-lifetime' moment.

Mr Selby says the discovery shows that Beta Hunt could turn out to be 'a very large gold mine'.

Kambalda, the western Australian town close to where Mr Dole discovered the biggest nugget of gold in world history 

Senior geologist Zaf Thanos said of the huge find: 'You might go your whole life and you'll never see anything like it.'

Armed guards will be deployed to transport the nuggets to a vault and security has increased at the mine.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
