Carletonville is a gold-mining town in western Gauteng, South Africa. It
is one of the richest gold-producing areas in the world. At 3,749 m, Western
Deep Levels is one of the world's deepest mines.
Developed by various mining companies from 1937 onwards, the town – which
was named after the long-serving mining director of Consolidated Goldfields,
Guy Carleton Jones – was not officially incorporated until 1959.
