These chemicals were used to analyze the purity of whatever product they produced at the facility. BTW those chemical shelves are a disaster waiting to happen - they are all improperly stored together. If all those chemicals combined because the shelves collapsed you would have a near instantaneous, violent reaction with hot concentrated acids and chemical gases erupting and filling the room. They have strong, concentrated acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide) stored right on top of each other, as well as zinc metal which will produce flammable hydrogen gas, and lead acetate which is a toxic heavy metal. Also, the potassium iodide and sulfuric acid will produce hydrogen sulfide which is a toxic gas that smells like rotten eggs. If those shelves went, all I can say is get the hell out of there fast!

All of that equipment, both inside the building and outside near the trucks, is Milling euipment for a Mining Operation. Those Chemicals on the shelves and those long counters & cabinets say that that was an Assay Laboratory. The room with the Safe looked like it had some Fire Assay equipment on the shelves in back. You didn't explore far enough, there should be a fairly large Mine somewhere in the immediate vicinity. -

Small scale operations didn't really have much oversight in the 80's and 90's. There's nothing suspicious about the chemicals, at least not to me. All of them have perfectly valid uses in assaying and separating gold, platinum-group metals, and silver, from the base ore rock. If I was looking for a methamphetamine lab, I would be on the lookout for acetone, red phosphorus, toluene, and lithium/lithium hydroxide. While other precursors are there (HCl, H2SO4), there are plenty of ingredients missing. It's just an old, derelict assay lab.

facility for processing mineral samples, I know because I worked in one. chem such as acid, and arsenic are used to seperate certain minerals, or petroleum samples, also to separate gold from black sand, or other minerals that are the same weight or heavier than gold, silver, platinum, or copper.since manual separation is difficult between minerals with the same weights. happy exploring!!!!

Exactly!! Heard of drug rings taking over old mining ops as cover - but this is obviously 🙄 not just for mining. Also learned that pharmaceutical companies used to do similar practices under shell companies to avoid being connected with drugs that kill or have detrimental reactions. Which the fda continues to lower the bar on. I curious if you guys ever found out what the story was about this place as somethings hinky about that place. Cheers from nor cal.

Just remember when you venture into any of these type of facilities that electrical panels become your best source of dating a building or site. Many electricians mark dates on the circuit directory but a panel and circuit breakers can be roughly dated pretty easily. This panel in the chemical room was from a Bryant/ Westinghouse panel which was from the 70's. It can help you with the rough date from that timeframe. Jeff Licensed Journeyman Electrician

Those truck tires are still inflated. For as old as they are and being an abandoned area, I find that quite odd in ways. The equipment/machinery, chem barrels, building and the safe are all newer than the trucks as well. Those trucks are all complete and would be pretty sweet to restore. Very few ever survived like that.

actually i have a question (not being from the usa), if you find a vehicle or property that has been potentially abandoned, what is the protocol, after checking the vehicle registration place and it comes back "no living owner" is it finders keepers or what? many thanks for your help in advance.

So many chemicals make this place look like a building that's not at all abandoned but people are strange indeed...a lot of places like this are left behind untouched....Very good video overall..excellent quality!!

That First Tank, Was a Ribbon Blender......the Blades inside are shaped like ribbons for mixing Solids. We used to make lubricating Greases in one at my old job. Awesome INTL. Truck !! DUDE , You Need A More Powerful Flashlight !! ACID Won't Eat Through Those PVC Drums(Barrels). NICE JOB GUYS !!

From 6:18 to 6:32 the enhanced security around the safe looks fairly fresh. Looks like a great place to back away from and leave it all as is untouched. Who knows what surveillance cams are zeroed in on that corner that are out of sight?Good job acting in a prudent manner and leaving the area as you found it untouched minus a few foot prints.

Those trucks look in pretty good condition. Also, what company was there?

What always strikes me is that while people may come and go, it is the inanimate objects that seem to go on and on. The people who drove those old trucks back when they were new are either very old now or six feet under. But the trucks, building and equipment persist. I suppose they too, will turn to dust eventually. Most everything does.

Also, these chemicals are so potent that just being near them is making it difficult to breathe. Those chemicals you mentioned, while it is, indeed, not a good idea huff them in, won't choke you as soon as you open the bottle. They are diluted, if only slightly so. These chemicals, however, are in their most pure and most potent form.

Interesting collection of stuff. The trucks are from the 1930s. 6:34 The Tank Farm control panel is from about the 1960s. The other stuff looks to be from the 1980s or before. I'd say the place was probably abandoned in the late 1980s.

The International was a 1935. My brother owned one and I recognized the grill.

At least one chemical could be read: oxalic acid. Not a good idea to ingest or keep in prolonged contact with skin.

Thanks to you, I now have an appreciation for old trucks and equipment. 😁

This looks to me like it could have been an ore mining and refining facility, maybe silver which was at an all time high in the '80's. That would explain the chemicals and the large safes to keep the finished product in. If this in the Nevada desert it would very likely have been a silver mine.

Surprisingly the Vandals haven't destroyed that place yet. Must have been recently closed or, a patrolled area. Great find.

Definitely a mining outfit. You gotta watch it around those places.

They must have made better tires way back then, they're still in decent shape.

Interesting little video, I am a free miner (prospector) up here in Canada. All of the different chemicals, as stated are used in mining. I have a field assay pack I take with me, which include between 10 and 30 small bottles of acid and other chemicals. I would have loved if you explored a little more, as for the acid and smell, a simple filter mask, rubber gloves and coveralls would have been enough to protect you as long as you had no direct contact. A return visit would be cool, with some preplaning and some basic equipment as mentioned above would go a long way to allow that. I so hope you return and explore a little more.

This place is so dangerous, it's unbelievable that they have left it completely open like that with all of those chemicals leaking everywhere. No wander you didn't hang around too long. Very interesting to see all the same. I am very sorry to see that you are having problems with somebody trying to discredit all your work and cause you no end of trouble. I hope you will manage to sort it soon.

important dates for the price of gold (significant turning points): Oct 1970 $234 / oz, Mar 1974 $890 / oz, Jun 1976 $538 / oz, Feb 1980 $2125 / oz, Apr 1982 $880 / oz, Nov 1987 $1024 / oz, Mar 2001 $377 / oz, Aug 2014 $2033 / oz. Looking at period between the '76 low and the '80 high and (at the time when gold peaked it looked like it was going much much higher). I imagine that this was a major factor in when new facilities and when significant investments would have been made in mining in the area. It looks like the lab would try and determine which acids to use to separate the gold from the ore. I saw some core samples that maybe is what they figured out what would work best to process the ore. One of the substances I could read was Oxalic Acid. From Wikipedia - Oxalic acid is also used to clean iron and manganese deposits from quartz crystals. (Quartz is often associated with gold)

It does seem some comments are being deleted. We've yet to see EWU 'break' into anything. The code of urban exploring is strict about not breaking into places. If someone finds a location that is unsecure and they use an entrance to go inside, it may be trespassing but it's not breaking and entering. As far as I know it becomes a civil matter. There would need to be evidence of property damage for any legal proceedings to be taken against EWU.

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)is a strong acid. ... In metal mining, sulfuric acid is used to leach copper oxide minerals. In one process, a solution of sulfuric acid laden with copper sulfate is stripped of copper via a solvent extraction and electro winning with the used sulfuric acid recycled back into the process.

Dust bowl era trucks!!! Cool!!!!

Where are you in this video? It seems like an old spot where they were testing ores and stone, hence the chemicals. There was also mining equipment, so maybe it was a mining company and you only found the lab section, or the entire facility was dedicated to research. Either way, there's got to be a mine nearby, and the whole operation was shut down quickly, which would explain why everything is still there

It would be great if you guys had a little bit of knowledge before you go wandering around in the desert. This is the remains of a small smelting operation, probably gold. The trucks would have been better shown as a whole instead of close ups of the name and wheels. That truck grill is worth a small fortune by the way.
