Awesome video, to see the other end of the business, I worked as a diesel mechanic for Atlas Copco Wagner Mining Equipment in Portland, Oregon manufacturing plant for 17 years until the hole operation was moved to Sweden. We built a lot of mining equipment out of that plant that where originally designed by Eddie Wagner who in the late 40’s and early 50’s came up with the articulated, driver siting sideways, 4 wheel drive LHD and the machine that started it all was the ST-2D and the MT-410 .

I'd like to see their primary ventilation fan system , must be massive for intake of fresh air and waste air extraction . The electricity requirements must extraordinarily huge not to mention the electricity bill to the power company .

Worked on sinking the Rodeo shaft on the Carlin trend. It was a trip!!!

Love hard rock underground mining! Great pics, video. Yeah, hard to understand if you haven't done it, sweet jumbo drill video. That's a huge mine!!!

Wow, in 2016 this shaft was approximately 9,500 ft below the surface. I wonder how deep it is now in 2020??

Wow! so exciting to see this kind of work being done.

Thanks for sharing!

I’ve never seen so much shotcrete in my life! These guys are making bank.

Thank you for this video! I love these videos of the Lucky Friday mine.

wish you would tell us what we are seeing

That's Hell work. Possible at Kinskuch BC property for gold and silver deposits. Those people working at maximum performance under extreme danger.

You get used to it after a while . It's just a job to pay the bills just requires more alertness , follow all safety regulations and procedures. After 24 yrs underground working at depths up to 2100 metres below the surface the novelty wares off after a while . The dangers and risks are always present in mining , especially underground more so than surface mining .

Remember touring this project when I went over for the recovery of a miner that got buried

Would obviously be nice if there was at least some narration/explaining some of the things being done as it goes along

i have worked in mines i find it hard to beleave with all this infrastructure and the money going in to it that this is just a mine more like a front for a different project

I thought the filming of such a project was fantastic.It brings back memories when I worked at Fernhill Colliery, Rhondda and the shaft sinking of No 5 pit. The project went well and was completed but due to the economic climate they closed the colliery in 1967.

НУУУ. КЛАС 👍👍👍👍👍 😁

Shotcrete, more modern version of gunite.

Since when does caution tape justify a barricade to a rotating system

Sure would be great I f you could narrate!!!

What mine is this, 9k feet ?!?! Really wow

Sinker!

Why bother doing a video like this if you are not going to explain what is going on.

So cool! Love mining! I wonder how hard it be to transition from oil field to mining. lol ahh, union, YUCK! Awesome video though!
