Inside the Resolution Copper Mine, 1.3 Miles Underground
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 had closed captioning turned on. The vid ends with the hope the "dick pays off". This is a Bloomberg video.
Irony.
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
WHAT
IS A FOOT,,,,
YOUR FOOT,, OR MINE,,,,,
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
2020 and the progress is slow
Calcified Iron Pyrites
According to U.S. copper data 1.85 million metric tons was consumed of unmanufactured copper in 2018. If this mine can feasibly produce a 1/4 of total consumption, at a cost of $2.77 per pound currently… Then 🤑$$$ inside of 3-4 years. That is if permits, malfunctions and operation costs don’t become their demise! And I thought oil companies took big risks. Wow!
4:40 little did they know something bad was going to happen to the whole world
I work underground in a nickel mine, i love the way they always interview the geos and engineers. Its the miners that really know how the mine works.
I wanted to be a miner but after seeing that lift I’m terrified already
I want to study in your country. Coal mines
Hope they got their permits now
Don’t play with them tigers OKC
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?
Well its 2020 did they get the permit
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
Is that located in Baghdad az ???
who esle here for class
It is 2020 right now
that orange reflective jacket with the thick neck protector collar is awesome
Is it just me or does it seem like a really bad idea to blow up the rock above the tunnel?
COOL
End Fracking ! Save earth 🌍
Who’s watching this now saying, "Theres covid"
Vale Inco 9 shaft at Creighton Ontario was 7,280 feet deep in the 1970’s deeper 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
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.
I’ve been doing this in Dorf Fortress for years?
They get to it. Whoops we were wrong no copper actually there.
Random crap backround music sucks. Junked another video👎🏻💩
Interesting stuff 💪
Everyone needs copper, duh. Better for America that we mine for ourselves, less reliant on other countries. nuff said. Terry Woods
Wow
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’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.
FU@K BLOOMBERG !!
Salute to these workers 🙋. Doing really hard to improve their livelihoods
Why do I feel we are going to run out of earth😬
Ohmg 20minutes to go down
They said looking from the top you cannot tell the copper is below. Bullshit, you can see the sparking minerals from oak flat!
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.
Dude what shaders do you have on?
1:41 Who would drink that red water?
It’s 2020, did you get the permits?
It was black people who created and built all of this.
-true story
so its 2020….did they started with the copper? or just still undermining 😀
I’m always scared of this elevators.
They prop stopped digging cuz they hit bedrock. Gg
6G $ Capex? Damn there is a shitload of ressource to justify such a price 😳
2020? How is it working out?
