The Largest Gold And Copper Deposit In The World | Super Structures | Spark

Mine- At 14,000 feet, in the remote jungles of New Guinea is the largest gold and copper deposit in the world. Getting to that deposit and building a profitable mine was one of the biggest engineering challenges ever. In 1975 an American mining company took up the challenge and using the most sophisticated technology available, conquered the jungle and built the Grasberg Mine!

    This is what television used to be before our country became a fascist, Marxist hell hole*. Go woke, go broke

    Incredable work , courage, technology, and investment.

    Attack and occupy the gold rich region, like irak and Afghanistan. Eventually Kuwait. Extend Goldman Sacks rule to occupied territories. Problem solved.

    Isn’t this the reason the Freddo is 25pence today? And the reason for why there are so many 100 dollar bill printings today? These mining ventures into these natural recourses are the reason for the widening of the divide between the rich and poor.. how has the Pound(sterling) fallen since the second world war!? The cost of weapons?? (The people are waring themeselves.) The reason why the indigenous have not profited but have suffered losses in death and major loss in vegetation. How is gold supposed to make you rich? How is America supposed to be great again with that incredible rising debt. Debt to who? These hypotherical economies!?

    Sorry, but 2nd ww started not on 3th of september – it is not true.
    WHY and WHO spreads this lie?

    It will be a sad day when there is no place left to destroy.

    ❤❤I love your video at large but I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind

  10. Lucky Unlucky on November 26, 2021 at 12:53 pm

    The environmental destruction humans have caused is astonishing. When do we get to destroy humans in the same way?

  11. Peter Edwards on November 26, 2021 at 12:53 pm

    HAVE THE LOCALS BEEN TAKEN CARE OFF AND LOOK AFTER. AND I DONT MEAN WITH PLASTIC COLOURED BEADS.

    If you’ve got one eye on the dropping cliff to your one side, and the other eye on the dizzying slopes of the mountains on the other side, how are you supposed to see where you’re going?

  15. marcus cicero on November 26, 2021 at 12:58 pm

    looking at those bone through the nose natives of New Guinea and could not help but reflect on the irascibles which inhabit Englewood and the West side.

  16. James Jones on November 26, 2021 at 12:59 pm

    It probably killed the rivers

  17. JJ Cat on November 26, 2021 at 1:00 pm

    West Papuans suffer on a daily basis as their lands are continuously pillaged and robbed by mining companies such as this one.

  18. Robert Thomas on November 26, 2021 at 1:01 pm

    So Gusman fell out of a helicopter?!🤔

    Sad that there is no recognition of any environmental impacts in this corporate film.

  23. marcus cicero on November 26, 2021 at 1:11 pm

    great vid, glad I stayed and watched. amazing people who made this happen

    ilyas hamid, balls of steel

  25. what's going on on November 26, 2021 at 1:13 pm

    The worst destruction of land, and they are doing it now. Open pit cyanide gold mining is going on all over, and other places using mercury to seperate the lead, leaving poisoned river’s and land poisoning people who get paid nothing to even support families. In the US huge tracts of land are stripped for sand, and the dust causes respiratory issues. canada was trying to put in an open pit cyanide mine near brent underwood, who has a youtube about living in his ghost town. The pig’s come to destroy. God bless everyone.

  26. Andy M on November 26, 2021 at 1:13 pm

    What’s not told in this video,is the mass killing of West Papuans by the Indonesian govt,because they don’t want them in the way.

  27. Hezekiah ben ISRAEL on November 26, 2021 at 1:13 pm

    This is absolutely magnificent

  28. B. A. Simco on November 26, 2021 at 1:14 pm

    Liked the occasional hand drumming tracks, in addition to a wealth of info more precious than ore.

  29. Bill Gold on November 26, 2021 at 1:15 pm

    Old giant tree’s from the pre flood world. Repent it’s the end soon. Love

  30. pphil56 on November 26, 2021 at 1:16 pm

    I hope they paid those workers fair wages. Such a dangerous job.

  31. Gab By on November 26, 2021 at 1:18 pm

    man those Mudrunner drives are suddenly piece of pie looking at the curves of this road

  32. Rednutz33 !! on November 26, 2021 at 1:18 pm

    This is not Indonesia it’s Papua New Guinea. The Indonesian’s should leave this country they invaded to the lovely local population.

  33. Willy Roeroe on November 26, 2021 at 1:19 pm

    well not us but over in the other canyon those fellows yeah they "MAKAN ORANG"

  34. Simon the Likeable on November 26, 2021 at 1:20 pm

    Collusion between the USA and Indonesia over this mine is the reason behind 1962’s New York Agreement and 1969’s Act of No Choice. Thousands have died at the hands of Kopassus. Papua Merdeka!!!

  35. David Dwight on November 26, 2021 at 1:23 pm

    I hope Mr Hamid is a very wealthy man

    Same mine they held gun point elections exploited the natives and killed many putting them in massgraves.. it was covered up by ABC news including exile reporters onto a remote island and the australian government.

  44. Fleidy Leegyrson on November 26, 2021 at 1:36 pm

    “And then came a sound, distant at first, it grew into castrophany
    So immense that it could be heard far away in space
    There were no screams, there was no time
    The mountain called Monkey had spoken
    There was only fire, and then… nothing”

  45. Robert Hubbard on November 26, 2021 at 1:38 pm

    The rape of the world, more like it

  46. siren synapse on November 26, 2021 at 1:38 pm

    Rape of the earth. Shameful, ultimately.

  47. Dennis John Marcos on November 26, 2021 at 1:39 pm

    Did the locals got the benefit they deserved from this mines?

  48. Burns Lake on November 26, 2021 at 1:40 pm

    That’s amazing to me what man will do for money. Not enough of it for me to work there.
