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!

Geology knows no political boundaries? What a corky arrogance.Who set that rule ? The owners of the resources or white explorers ?
Anyone ever wonder, how did a US company get to own that gold mountain?
Yet Papua still among the poorest country in the world
well done! thank you.
Hopefully someday bitcoin will buy all the gold in the world and stop all the earth destructions or loss of human life caused by gold minings….
This is literally the origin story to Avatar.
Mother nature did not tell you to come and get it.
Indonesia might can pay its debt just by selling 1 hill from these mountains
The largest deposit of gold and copper in the universe is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo …. In Katanga region for the copper and Isiro for the gold ….. The by yourself
Yar great engineering BUT the locals have been dislocated murdered bashed jailed no royalties for them. Every one grew rich except the locals whose rivers are now destroyed, land destroyed…not good fellas!
27:58 this guy calls the indigenous people Maori
I am Maori and we are from New Zealand not Papua New Guinea
The lack of shame demonstrated by these destructive parasites will astonish future generations.
Los imperios no han terminado. Llegan, conquistan, explotan a los nativos y cuando la producción decae se van a otras tierras y se llevan sus riquezas. Típico comportamiento imperialista. Pueden darles casas a los empleados, construirles hasta un shopping, pero la montaña de dinero se la llevan ellos. ¡Que buenos son! Cambian el oro por espejitos de colores.
You whites took $50 billion from that land and if I may ask,what did you give back to the indigenous owners ?
My prayers are for the hundreds of native people who were MURDERED by security forces just so that rape of this once beautiful, unpolluted wilderness paid well for the corrupt elites.
Wow
Not one Native knew how to get to the Glaciers?
Look at that…just have a look…it makes you wonder what Rick and Marty Lagina are playing at when they cant get past 100 foot?….oak island
Indonesia: time to colonize West Papua and get their copper mine
I love mining stocks
The work put in there is exceptional but what the owners of this lands got in return? That is the the question.
For me this idea help to live smarter healther
The way you Caucasians go about destroying people’s land and stealing minerals without giving back to the owners baffles me. Could black people go to European or America to mine ? Who authorised the mining and was the gains shared with the indigenous owners? Same goes to the crude oil and other minerals stolen all over Africa.
39:04 he should’ve got a million dollar in bonus or atleast few hundred thousand dollars.
they erected city in the middle of nowhere.
Ah so an American mining company made claim to it I see . guess they think they everything.
This is a very good documentary
Best Documentary of robbers and thieves. I feel very sorry for the natives as their future resources had been robbed by Americans.
This is why indigenous people are under seize as there Land been taking away
I’m a jewelry artist and this documentary appears on my watch list. This was a real treat to watch.
I wonder if these men had their families up there or was it just to remote and demanding a place?
Woah…cool
kill kill!! america was attacked by middle eastern terrorist!! we will invade new guinea! it IS NOT ABOUT GOLD BUT FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY!!! – bush
Great geological and engineering endeavor, likely a big pox on earth. Destroy tropical jungles, vital to life, to extract materials to fuel modern obsessions for devices and items that simply provide fleeting satisfaction.
Very interesting. Thanks
I miss those days when documentaries used to be this much interesting and informative. Nowadays most of the documentaries are not upto the standards.
Environmentalists are gay
Brilliant enjoyed that immensely ☺️
How admirable, all the superficial compliments from you all white people.
This is thievery on the highest level I never asked if you’re in denial.
As a white man, is it black/ negro people that I saw as the indigenous?!!
So the dutch stole the land initially, then gave it to the Indonesian so they can suppress the locals and, intern give it straight back to us white people so we could steal the natural resource or the blacks; all for profit & self aggrandizing.
good example on how the corporation is making billions $$$$$ for themselves and pennies to the locals labour force and paid to taxes to the local government.
Stealing the heart from Papua, while her people are persecuted by Indonesia…
This isn’t impressive, it’s theft.
Irian Jaya is a land under theft. The Indonesians have stolen this land from the Irianese peoples who are presently being crushed under the foot of Java, held in a repressive state of human rights abuse. The minerals from this mining operation are the very worst of blood-metals, and the mine should be blown up or shut down completely until the Irianese people are given their independence.
🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
They make $150,000,000 a day!!!!
Salute to the great workers and miners.
THAT WAS A LIQUID PLUME…
I am ashamed that another Filipino fools other people again and earn money in an improper way .
Here in the Philippines, thieves are easily forgiven and even elected to high position.
It’s so embarrassing. 😔
MY QUESTION IS DO THEY EVER FILL IN THOSE CITY-SIZED PITS OR LEAVE THEM AS UNSIGHTLY MESSES???!!!
On the one hand they say how incredibly beautiful the country is and how great the natves are, on the other they destroy and pollute the country and exploit and subjugate the indigenious peoples.
I guess the Copper mine at Kennicot was played out.
