Scroll down to the picture of the 3D model of the mine.  It looks like something you would build in DF.

Check out Kennecot Copper Mine in Utah.  It's HUGE, and rather dwarfy in some ways too.

The only downside is these are both open-pit mines, and true dwarves dig INTO the earth, not haul it away to slave under that gods-forsaken sky all day, sober as a convicted felon.

Wow... imagine if the lifts were destroyed when you were at the bottom and no-one knew...

In fact, don't. It's horrifying.
