Which mine did you find the museum grade raw copper?

As someone whose father worked at two of the more well-known mines in that area, and a grandfather that worked in the mine in Sudbury, I know enough to not enter locations like this one without the necessary gear to do it safely. I've been intrigued ever since I was a kid, and my father pointing out a different adit almost exactly 2km closer to the township and on the same side of the highway, which is now safely sealed in by a concrete wall with an opening large enough for the resident bat population to get in and out. I discovered this location on my own after seeing a darker area in what had to probably be ideal time of day and year Deliberately being vague regarding the location of the video so history is preserved and so that it keeps the more unwary of safety measures away.

This is the only video I could find on youtube of someone actually talking about the smokestack and not just climbing it with a selfie stick for shock views. Thank you.

That isn't all that much copper, about three years to produce that amount in the U.S. From the looks of the buildings, I think the mining companies thought they would be in business for centuries. If they knew they were around for only a few decades, they would have used wood. It is a great place to take a vacation.

Nice critter in the upper cave...bottom left....blinks eyes...maybe opossum?

Impressive camera quality and zoom for 2012

May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, & with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up & die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

It doesn't look that high, but that's most likely because it is wide af

I hope that wasn't toilet water!

Wonderful Video!!! F+L, Corey

As a child in the early 60's I spent summers on the Kiweenaw at Bete Gris. There were still a few operating copper mines than. I spent many a summer afternoon scouring the huge piles of mine tailings out side the Delaware mine ( long closed even than) looking for nuggets of copper.

Thank you very much👍

The stack is no longer used. The metal inner lining is being removed, and will be slowly demolished in 2022.

You are in the area called Copper Cliff.

I'd've turned down that $500 too. It's nice to find stuff on your own and you may never find something like that again.

Sudbury smokestack..."I am the tallest in the world"....Ekibastus smokestack...".Hoould ma vodka"........

why are you wearing a gun??? you are alone in a forest!

These videos are awesome! Thank you!

ohhh.. perhaps the Miss.turkey.. just did a runner, so Mr.turkey was then in need of a {hot~turkey..."cold~shower"! by flapping his wings.} to reduce his "body~temp heat.! pls don't feel too rejected Mr.Turkey- she just wasn't your type.!

What kind of blade do you use?

Its the second highest smokestack. The tallest is in Kasachstan. The smokestack of the "Powerstation Ekibastus GRES-2" is 419,7m tall. This one is "only" 380m tall.

for this much pure metal to not be mixed or dispersed within the entirety of the earth, is perhaps the most prominent geological wonder. i would speculate that either it came from somewhere around the core during a specific phase of the earths formation where conditions and temperature allow. not too hot, not too cold. or that it came from outside the earth, also during a specific moment

this copper is actually the most interesting geological wonder of the world... good luck trying to find a scientist to explain it too

This is amazing. Have you been to Old Victoria Dam in Ontonagon??

Love your vids. Keep em coming. Bought your book too. Cant wait to explore some of the easier locations mentioned.

cool travels. Thanks

We checked out a uranium mine near the coast once, it was really warm inside it too, so much it was steaming up the camera lens, which is quite unusual down our way, the mines are usually cooler than the outside air. Those moths are pretty much common sight too in our mines, mostly around the portals. What a great video my friend, really enjoyed seeing the ice and lake. That iron find in the lake looks like a railway tie, to hold the rail in place. Some amazing formations in the ice! Great video, more like this please!

Where is the WIFE ??

Thanks for sharing your exploration adventures of historic mining sites.

what is the REAL name of these fish ??

WELL DONE! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your adventures

Reminds me of Asarco in Tacoma

cool but I agree you should have someone with. Be careful.

Interesting explore, we did something very similar a couple weeks ago, although in wetsuits and bodyboards! That water is freezing even in the middle of summer with a 3mm wetsuit on! Was fun and went 100ft to a collapse. Lovely clear and crisp water down there!

You KNOW you should NOT be out there ALONE

Hi Stephen I will look this week end .

Check out fotos of "Persberg, Sweden" see how similar it is . (Grandpa was a miner from there)

good stuff

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing your exploration. Great raw copper find.

thanks ... my grandpa came from Ishpeming

Very interesting videos. Is this in Ontario? Subbed!

What are you carrying for a hand gun? I didnt know you could open carry in Canada?

get off this guys back like half the comments in this comment section are about how it isnt the tallest.

Why is this smokestack not painted in white and red stripes? In the European Union it is necessary for such high chimneys to be painted as obstacles to the safety of aircraft.

Just waiting for a climber!

Now that thing will hit hard if one day will be demolished.

Now that I am older, I cringe at the thought of the stupid things I did when I was around 10 to 12 yrs old, climbing down the open cuts and entering some of the mine adits in Cobalt. I did manage to find silver though. To this day I still have the silver I took from back then. I have several pieces that are pure silver. This video reminds me of those times.

I used to live there

that water you saw how cold is it?
