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)
Everyone needs copper, duh. Better for America that we mine for ourselves, less reliant on other countries. nuff said. Terry Woods
Updates? Did the dick pay off? Captions at 4:52
Why do I feel we are going to run out of earth😬
Well its 2020 did they get the permit
Interesting stuff 💪
End Fracking ! Save earth 🌍
Is 2020
I want to study in your country. Coal mines
2020? How is it working out?
INCO Creighton Mine in Sudbury is 7280′ straight down. Cage is double deck and takes 60 men a trip.
Who’s watching this now saying, "Theres covid"
This might be irrelevant but on minecraft I have a lot of gold and diamonds
I’m always scared of this elevators.
This was part of the native Americans land. Arizona ignored the native Americans rights.
They sunk $6 billion never thinking that they could get $4.77 a pound for copper. Copper prices have gone thru the roof.
I’ve been doing this in Dorf Fortress for years?
They must have 10 1000 hp fans to get air moving.
so its 2020….did they started with the copper? or just still undermining 😀
1:41 Who would drink that red water?
It is 2021 now, hope they got started by now.
Yeeeeeeeeet this is for school
If you have 6 billion to spend why is he trying to get rich 🤷♂️
Biden administration has now (2021) put a hold on the federal permits. When Hunter Biden is hired onto the Rio Tinto board then all may proceed. Hold some back for the "big guy" too.
Calcified Iron Pyrites
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!
6G $ Capex? Damn there is a shitload of ressource to justify such a price 😳
Dig baby dig
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.
They said looking from the top you cannot tell the copper is below. Bullshit, you can see the sparking minerals from oak flat!
Wow
2020 and the progress is slow
who esle here for class
All I hear is the descendants of European colonizing settlers talking about how they are going to continue stealing and taking from stolen land 🧐
They prop stopped digging cuz they hit bedrock. Gg
Hope they got their permits now
It is 2020 right now
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
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 🙂
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
It’s 2020, did you get the permits?
WHAT
IS A FOOT,,,,
YOUR FOOT,, OR MINE,,,,,
COOL
They get to it. Whoops we were wrong no copper actually there.
Its 2021, wheres the follow up.
I wanted to be a miner but after seeing that lift I’m terrified already
4:40 little did they know something bad was going to happen to the whole world
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?
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?
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
