Dangerous McCormick Uranium Mine
Dangerous McCormick Uranium Mine
Recently I went out to Utah looking for some uranium mines. One that I was interested in finding was the McCormick mine. I wasn’t able to find any info on mining data sites but I remember seeing a picture of it and it seems very interesting with its steel bracing. In this video I find what I was looking for and I wasn’t disappointed.

Where is the women workers if women are so = to a man? Lol
For those that are OMG! with the roentgen (geiger) counter buzzing. Take refuge in the inverse square law and distance. It’s the type of exposure that is harmful
If the falls don’t get him, cancer will!
that was really neat with the black light! Awesome explore!
Great Videos!
Unfortunately Carnitite, and Tyuyamunite are not fluorescent under ultraviolet light. I do believe that is the majority of the uranium, bearing secondary minerals.
Would you be willing to post GPS cords for McCormick, since it’s so difficult to find?
That drone shot at the end was really cool!
After watching this video I found this interesting old video on Radon Gas etc.

👍👍👍👊😎
You dont want to be contanimated
Two words "Radon gas".
Its odd that both Australia and the U.S.A pull Uranium out of similar looking terrain ( iron rich red rock ) the green glow ! is that the same glow they used to cover aircraft instruments back in the 1940’s and ww2
Really enjoying your content. I was wondering if you could go into more detail on how the different (minerals?) carnatite? were mined or extracted from the rock. Were the miners at certain mines exposed to radiation such that they developed health problems, etc. I don’t know much about mining radioactive substances which is probably why I’m so fascinated with your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks
John Wayne died and a lot of the film crew got cancer from filming by old uranium mines!
sweet Jesus that geiger counter is like 2 grand !
I think we still have the ore charts and mine maps for all of those mines in that particular area.
There are used to be a 25’ diameter shaft just south of there but I believe they have closed them all off. Most of those mines they purposely pulled the pillars and caved them in. They even been mined back into to see if they missed anything. They did miss a pretty big area that was mined out in the late 80’s early 90’s.
ГУЛАГ тоже у вас был…
Stop that rotten sound track
Everything was great but you did not need the loud 🔊 🔊 alarm for so long. That ruined the video for me.
I love that cave but its hot scarey
You alone???? Not smart
I wonder if breathing the dust your feet stir up is a bad thing.
which you had better lighting.
Oh wow a little vein of radium?
That would scare me to death – makes me nervous watching! Lol
Please be careful!
I’m guessing your name is Dangerous McCormick? And you’re exploring a uranium mine?
Old miner here. Completely stupid. You never go back to abandoned workings. 1 cubic foot of sandstone is about 130lb.
isn’t Uranium radio active?
why don’t you have any detectors with you???
Thanks!
You should probably be wearing a hard hat!
Would you die if you ate those yellow rocks?
Hasn’t processing improved with uranium so less rich ore is profitable?
What minerals make the rocks reddish color?
Another great video! I’m visiting all my radioactive bucket list locations, vicariously through you. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us.
Omg. The dangerous uranium mine killed Kenny.
You bastard!
Are you getting blasted with radiation?
I’m no expert on Uranium or uranium mines but I’ve heard from a uranium miner that it sticks to your lungs shouldn’t you be wearing a respirator?
Hard. Hat.
Hi Drew, your Geiger counter won’t register radon which can be as high as 1 million Bq/m³ in a uranium mine with no ventilation running. 1M Bq/m³ (27,000 pCi/L) is about 5000 times the accepted "safe" level and equivalent to having more than 200 chest x-rays in the 30 mins you spend in there. You are buying a lung cancer ticket in a small lottery.
Makes you wonder if all the mine workers ended up getting cancer and dying
My uncle was a miner up in Elliott Lake.
The uranium mines have been capped for years now, but surrounding area residents suffer and die because of a type of dirty cancer as the doctors have called it, in the area.
Many think it is caused by the old uranium mines, seeing as most effected are within just a few kilometres radius of the old mines.
Unfortunately this dirty cancer took my uncle too.
I’d never goto a uranium mine, capped or not.
Hi guys. Insted of harm innocent people, wont you take a visit at Max Planck institute to find a solution of propulsion or energetic on?. You the uranium mines exploiters or corpotation. Daaammm.
It’s interesting to me that this kind of sandstone landscape is as rich with uranium as it is. I live out near STG and there are a number of old uranium mines out this way, also. Not nearly to the extent that there is in the Swell or around Moab/Canyonlands, but still quite a bit. I haven’t personally explored any of them and I think they’ve been sealed due to the population explosion out this way, but they do show up on some of the USGS maps. Even if they can’t be explored (it’s unlikely I’d do that anyway), it’s still an awesome piece of history.
You really need a limiter on the audio of your videos. That counter is crazy loud
This reminds me of some of the old cinnabar stopes that I’d checked out.
I remember hearing some guy talk one time(or many). Galen Windsor, I think his name was?….
