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

  5. Skippy 4077 on November 14, 2021 at 6:45 am

    And yet none of this wealth goes into the country its ripped from

  6. Christy Blight on November 14, 2021 at 6:45 am

    And all the crooks in the world line up to exploit the rare resources. They all deserve the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

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

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

  9. WunHungLo on November 14, 2021 at 6:52 am

    No environmental impact then… Phew,

  10. ZomPaul on November 14, 2021 at 6:52 am

    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.

    My dad Young-Bok Kim, spent over 25 years(early 1970 to late 1990) at this site as a Mill Supervisor. I visited him many times and we loved it. Too bad, I did not have a chance to work with him at Freeport. My Dad passed away on September 28th of 2019. Behalf of my family we thank everyone who worked with him. He Loved, Indonesia, the People, Work, and Freeport. God Bless Everyone ……..

    No opinions. Just what happened.

  13. Shoedi L on November 14, 2021 at 6:58 am

    I wonder…. Who payed for the plot of land?….

  14. Zazzarama on November 14, 2021 at 6:59 am

    ilyas hamid, balls of steel

  15. raphael koster on November 14, 2021 at 7:00 am

    Freeport macmoran is a vile company

  16. Darren Phillip on November 14, 2021 at 7:00 am

    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!?

  17. David Skaar on November 14, 2021 at 7:01 am

    Incredable work , courage, technology, and investment.

  18. Andy M on November 14, 2021 at 7:02 am

    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.

    Respect to my fellow Dozer operators 🙌🏻

    “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”

  23. Jonathan Tjitro on November 14, 2021 at 7:06 am

    why won’t you say its in INDONESIA instead of the jungles of NEW GUINEA

  24. Dean Adema on November 14, 2021 at 7:07 am

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

  25. Tom Nisen on November 14, 2021 at 7:08 am

    Roasted people! Yum! 😆

  26. Karl Hido on November 14, 2021 at 7:09 am

    John D Rockefeller was the government. What a discovery! What a great Guy

  27. pphil56 on November 14, 2021 at 7:09 am

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

  28. marcus cicero on November 14, 2021 at 7:10 am

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

  29. JJ Cat on November 14, 2021 at 7:10 am

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

  30. AJ 🥊 on November 14, 2021 at 7:12 am

    Looks like new Guiana needs to be liberated 🇺🇸😈

  31. Hezekiah ben ISRAEL on November 14, 2021 at 7:12 am

    This is absolutely magnificent

  32. B. A. Simco on November 14, 2021 at 7:12 am

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

  33. The Wheelie Factory 🏭 on November 14, 2021 at 7:13 am

    Human Greed had no limits. This is proof we are flawed…

    OK…Now you youtube correctional officer’s ..ATTACK!

  34. Anar Che on November 14, 2021 at 7:13 am

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

  36. Goose man on November 14, 2021 at 7:15 am

    Now that was extraordinary motivation to clear up trees in that way!

  37. Repent! on November 14, 2021 at 7:18 am

    Repent to Jesus Christ!

    rape the plannet for every ounce

  39. David Silva on November 14, 2021 at 7:21 am

    For 5,000 years, Gold & Silver have been money. Buying and holding physical precious metals is what prompted Freeport’s multi-billion dollar investment, not bitcoin or forex. Great video!

  40. Bill Gold on November 14, 2021 at 7:24 am

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

  41. Simon the Likeable on November 14, 2021 at 7:27 am

    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!!!

  42. Fleidy Leegyrson on November 14, 2021 at 7:28 am

  43. Seaside Wild Bird Rescue Tampa Bay on November 14, 2021 at 7:34 am

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

  44. maxwell cobbs on November 14, 2021 at 7:35 am

    ❤❤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

  45. Burns Lake on November 14, 2021 at 7:36 am

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

  46. marcus cicero on November 14, 2021 at 7:39 am

    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.

  47. Jordon Conway on November 14, 2021 at 7:40 am

    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?

  48. steven stamford on November 14, 2021 at 7:40 am

    And more global warming?…..

  49. James Pinkard on November 14, 2021 at 7:40 am
