Inside the Resolution Copper Mine, 1.3 Miles Underground
Mar. 14 — There are deeper mines in North America than the Resolution mine but none with a single shaft this long. It is a 6,943 foot concrete barrel, 30 feet in diameter bored into the mountain of Arizona and took six years to dig. Bloomberg’s Matt Philips journeys toward the center of the earth to check out this engineering marvel. (video by Adam Wolffbrandt)
It was black people who created and built all of this.
-true story
Who’s watching this now saying, "Theres covid"
They get to it. Whoops we were wrong no copper actually there.
who esle here for class
So we have a 6 billion dollar scratch off ticket. What if some invents something better than copper? Like the power grid is doing with coal.
so its 2020….did they started with the copper? or just still undermining 😀
I had closed captioning turned on. The vid ends with the hope the "dick pays off". This is a Bloomberg video.
Irony.
Dude what shaders do you have on?
There are some pipes inside the copper mine,with yellow/blac color, what are those pipes used for? And what is the material of the pipes?
South Africa has 6 of the worlds 10 deepest operational mines.
They go down to almost 13 000 feet (3.9km) now and are going deeper still. Down to about 14300 feet at the next stage.
Absolutely insane.
I wanted to be a miner but after seeing that lift I’m terrified already
I’m always scared of this elevators.
Hope they got their permits now
Vale Inco 9 shaft at Creighton Ontario was 7,280 feet deep in the 1970’s deeper now.
Salute to these workers 🙋. Doing really hard to improve their livelihoods
4:40 little did they know something bad was going to happen to the whole world
Everyone needs copper, duh. Better for America that we mine for ourselves, less reliant on other countries. nuff said. Terry Woods
It takes money to make money. kind of f***** up really, this is exactly how the rich are getting richer and…. I think you guys know the rest
Calcified Iron Pyrites
They prop stopped digging cuz they hit bedrock. Gg
COOL
Is it just me or does it seem like a really bad idea to blow up the rock above the tunnel?
FU@K BLOOMBERG !!
I want to study in your country. Coal mines
Interesting stuff 💪
WHAT
IS A FOOT,,,,
YOUR FOOT,, OR MINE,,,,,
Don’t play with them tigers OKC
Kidd Creek .
A gold mine in Timmins ontario is almost 10,000ft deep . / shaft
As well as Kirkland lakes new project.
Sudbury ontario CreightonMine 10,000ft+
I Love the area .
LOTS of potential for Mining and prospecting <3 🙂
that orange reflective jacket with the thick neck protector collar is awesome
2020 and the progress is slow
It’s 2020, did you get the permits?
There’s a lot of cinnabar ( mercury ore) in Arizona, some of which is so concentrated that the heat of one’s hand can sweat the highly toxic chemical from the rock, ( which is one reason for staying out of old mines, and away from old tailings piles) how much of that is present in the rock of this operation, and just how are they planning to keep it from leaching into the environment? What abatement plans do they have?
I’ve been doing this in Dorf Fortress for years?
I’d never want to work in a mine… I’m more the air conditioned office type, but damn it if this isn’t cool as hell. Would be awesome to go down into one some day.
Ohmg 20minutes to go down
I work in a coal mine #8 seam…best job in the world. Working underground is great. With any job some days are worse than others but there’s been a lot of Sundays I got double time ($75 hr) for an hour or 2 of work then sleep the rest of the shift…lol. That doesn’t happen at many other jobs. If I lose this job I don’t know if I could ever work at a normal job…lol
1:41 Who would drink that red water?
Wow
Those core samples are amazing. I wish the public had more access to view those core samples. Kinda like NASA not revealing many pictures of outer space
2020? How is it working out?
Random crap backround music sucks. Junked another video👎🏻💩
Well its 2020 did they get the permit
It is 2020 right now
End Fracking ! Save earth 🌍
It might be a safe method of mining but it also might not be. Theres phenominon called rock bursts that can occur under active fault zones that are associated with fault and orebodies and they could start occuring being in that deeo or in an active geologic area. Its not the top or "back" one need worry about but rather thrust or energy released by fault slippage and the ribs and floor heave from immense pressure and release of energy. It may or may not happen here, im not in the know about their geology here
They said looking from the top you cannot tell the copper is below. Bullshit, you can see the sparking minerals from oak flat!
Rio Tinto, the British mining consortium with the worst environmental record on earth, their mines at Valle D Or Quebec, make it the most polluted place, on the planet!
Is that located in Baghdad az ???
6G $ Capex? Damn there is a shitload of ressource to justify such a price 😳
Why do I feel we are going to run out of earth😬
