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)
I am majoring in Mining Geotechnical Engineering. Here we also have Rio Tinto managed world class copper-gold ore deposit as well, which also uses block caving method. I am looking forward to be an engineer at one of this magnificent mines.
Wonder if this mines working yet
Shrinkage stoping
…it’s all about timing…Rio Tinto’s timing should be right on the mark…with the burgeoning electrification of the automotive industry, Ships, Planes, Etc will follow quickly…The demand for electricity is going to be overwhelming…and super conductors will be in ultra high demand…Rio Tinto trading at $61.99 as of 30/11/2021…Long on copper, thirty years from now looking well to do.
Let’s get this mine going!!! You all need copper for your smart phones and smart cars and I need money to feed my family!
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 rather die than work underground
1:41 Who would drink that red water?
And women want equality 🤦♂️
awesome video.. love it
They get to it. Whoops we were wrong no copper actually there.
Who’s watching this now saying, "Theres covid"
They must have 10 1000 hp fans to get air moving.
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?
LOLZ But, Biden cancelled it!
magma, not lava
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 it worling now?
I want to study in your country. Coal mines
They need to stop digging.
South Africans: "Hold my Castle Lager"
4:40 little did they know something bad was going to happen to the whole world
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.
You don’t know for a fact there’s molten lava at the center of the earth since no one has been able to drill that deep to find out. That is just a theory.
Yeeeeeeeeet this is for school
I wanted to be a miner but after seeing that lift I’m terrified already
It is 2021 now, hope they got started by now.
Everyone needs copper, duh. Better for America that we mine for ourselves, less reliant on other countries. nuff said. Terry Woods
2020 and the progress is slow
Hope they got their permits now
Dude what shaders do you have on?
They prop stopped digging cuz they hit bedrock. Gg
I see what you did there at the end…
How did you,s know it was there,you dont usually do test holes that deep.Being that deep the sats wouldnt have picked it up surely.
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
6G $ Capex? Damn there is a shitload of ressource to justify such a price 😳
Dig baby dig
This was part of the native Americans land. Arizona ignored the native Americans rights.
Its 2021, wheres the follow up.
never mine straight up.
All I hear is the descendants of European colonizing settlers talking about how they are going to continue stealing and taking from stolen land 🧐
If you have 6 billion to spend why is he trying to get rich 🤷♂️
4:50 turn on the captions and have a laugh
Wish i could work there !! I was working in a copper mine in middle east !!!
INCO Creighton Mine in Sudbury is 7280′ straight down. Cage is double deck and takes 60 men a trip.
Is 2020
End Fracking ! Save earth 🌍
This might be irrelevant but on minecraft I have a lot of gold and diamonds
They sunk $6 billion never thinking that they could get $4.77 a pound for copper. Copper prices have gone thru the roof.
It’s 2020, did you get the permits?
