Update July 16/2019.......This company is being reorganized and I met with the new chief Chistopher Anderson. He is a really nice person he informed me that security is still on site and the water is being pumped out and tested in accordance with the de watering permit. They are trying to raise funds to restart the mine. Furthermore he told me that he was involved with the acquisition of a number of other large underground mines that I haven't visited and he has offered me access to them! So we are really looking forward to working with Christopher to bring you more access to some more fascinating mines and to document the 200 ton a day mill that Golden Dawn owns and film it in operation when it is running again!

Exploring Abandoned Mines Great news man!! Just subscribed. My partners and I mined the Mojave desert off of garlock rd, guller gultch, over by red mountain dry washing and metal detecting for a couple decades. We’ve also hit up the San Gabriel mountains, around East Fork, sluicing, dredging, metal detecting, we also had buddies, and some family members up north. Same equipment, we’ve always used. From Tuolumne city, turn creek, 80 acres, did find some arrow heads , found gold, farther up

Back in the fifties, I worked in hard rock mines and all the minerals did did span out similar to these. Biggest difference was our drills were hand held and hammered with sledge hammers on steel held by one man and hit by another. Tunnels were short and crystals hung down on the oler tunnels that were made back in the turn of the twentieth century. They packed in from eastern washington and hauled the ore on mules back to that side of the mountains. I worked there for about three years and didn't make any money but the memories are worth more than gold. My dad nearly died working there doing as much as possible. /we went in on army 6 x 6's which took a day to get there and a day to rest up from the ride. I got a piece of hammer head chipped off and went through my boot into my ankle. By the time they got me to a doctor it was bad but there was too much thrill of being rich and back I went. That was many years ago and the wilderness bill stopped our mine or it would of been famous. That was the Silver Queen Mine up in the north part of cascade mt.

My great grandfather fell down one of those ladders at a distance of 150 feet the only thing that saved his life was he was with two other guys when the ladder collapsed and the other two where behind him and got killed instantly and he landed on them he broke a lot of bones in his body and spent a year in the hospital this was back in the 1930’s he went back to work and I have a picture of him at the 2500 foot level working at his bench with a calendar behind him that reads 1956 his job was to set the explosives when he first started working at the mine he made $.20 a hour for his job and the average worker that didn’t work with the explosives made $.06 a hour. This was up in the iron mines of iron county Michigan.

IVELINA that’s just one of the hundreds of stories of miners that died here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula mining iron ore , copper or gold I had a distant relative that died with 52 other men when they drilled into an underground river they where at the 1500 foot level and the mine filled with water they all drowned in less than 2 minutes I was told that when this area was at its peak there where over 200 mines in this county and that you could walk 35 miles underground without coming up and the average temperature underground is 38 degrees and very wet and during WW2 most of the miners where stopped from going into the military because they where needed here for the war effort in just this one county they mined 340,000 million tons of ore for the war effort. The people in the Upper Peninsula are very proud of our mining history and all those that worked in the mines.

The resin cartridges are used to install rebar bolts in the back, as the stoper spins the bolt into the back it mixes the resin together. Adds a lot of strength to any cracked rock by cementing it together. For a six foot bolt, we use one cartridge of red resin, which dries quick and 2 grey resin, which dries slower.

I thought you would never get to the end of that ladder, it must have been pretty tiring to get back out too. How cool to see inside a new mine and compare it to the older mines, including the difference in machinery and health and safety. I was surprised to see the tag system, I thought modern day technology would used some kind of electronic device to record visitors. I know you use the drone footage to show us some key points but I also love seeing that beautiful scenery. Thank you Frank for documenting and sharing this amazing explore - it was pure GOLD. Take care and stay safe. 👍 ❤️

That resin is also used in construction sometimes for tying rebar from an existing slab to a new slab. rebar tie-ins of 2 to 6 feet are pretty common. The slab gets pre-drilled and lengths of rebar epoxied in place at on center intervals. It then gets tied in to the new rebar scheme before the pour.

Frank, hopefully this mine gets the capital too start up. Theirs a great deal of work already done and an investment that could yield enough results from the sample too warrant a start up. From having worked in the SAR field it’s nice too see they were pretty up too snuff on their gear. Thanks for sharing and 1 day the Rock Candy should be re-visited. The Fluorite that place holds is mind blowing. As a collector of quartz based minerals some can bring big $. If you ever get the chance/funding you ought too check out the mines in the Ural Mtns. in Russia.

If they're unable to restart it, I'd seriously consider purchasing both of those LHDs in the next year or so. I've got an EIMCO 911B that will be working at a gold mine in New Mexico fairly soon, as well as a 911 that needs a lot of work. We're looking at driving a 1300ft exploration tunnel and a larger machine would be just the ticket. An Atlas Copco ST-2 is on my wishlist, same with a longhole drill rig with a good centralizer, but I'm financially tapped out until my machines start earning money.

Every 6 meters in the ventilation raise - the ladders are supposed to be staggered and landings put in . If you fall off the ladder you land on the landing . You go around the ladder and down to the next landing and so on down to the bottom of the raise . I worked underground from 1968-2010 and became a underground shift boss in 1979 .

In case no one else posted it yet, those boxes you see all over the place arent explosives. They are tubes of rock/roof bolt glue. It is a 2 part epoxy that you put in a drilled hole and the insert the rock bolt and rotate it. The rotating breaks the tube up and mixes the epoxy parts, usually sets solid in under a minute

The sausage looking items you mentioned scattered thoughout the mine are, as indicated resin, which is used together with roofing bolts. After drilling holes in the roof and sides these resin packets are placed inside the holes and eight foot or longer pieces of rebar are forced into these holes using wire mesh and anchor bolts to hold the rocky material in place. It's used to secure the rock in place above their heads. This resin hardens and along with the wire mesh and anchor bolts, keep things in place.

When we pin the rib or top the part that y'all call the back, we use the two part epoxy when it's shoved in the hole then the bolt is ran in by the bolter the epoxy is mixed and is pushed into all the crevices and fractures of the rock. You should have gotten some of it, that stuff works wonders on concrete, block and light poles

Very interesting footage. Being a Georgia coastal plain flatlander, I would slip on that first step of the 300ft ladder and bounce like a ping pong ball all the way to the bottom. That is the reason I have to explore vicariously to stay alive lol. Those guys who work down there have to be gutsy to risk falling, quakes, drowning, etc, and well trained to be sure none of those events occur. My hat is off to them, I would not have what it takes to get the job done and do my share, I would be too busy praying to survive til quitting time. Lol. Takes guts to mine and explore same, especially abandoned. Perhaps a bit of insanity thrown in lol.

Having the "Decline" instead of a self draining lower entrance actually makes sense. While there is added cost to get the mines operational, there ends up being very low costs in security during long periods of inactivity. And submerged wood won't rot like wood exposed to constant humidity changes from being in air. A flooded mine isn't going to have many people wandering around in it. No idea if there's ever trouble with crews operating mines they don't actually own, like loggers taking trees illegally, but knowing many corporate types, it's something they'd worry about.

Those tubes that you aren't sure are, are slow and fast acting resin and they are used for ground support primarily. They mix together and harden really quick and hold in split ends, rebar etc.. to hold up screen and control ground. As Diamond Drillers we often use it to anchor our drills to the face. You drill your hole with a jackleg, slip in a tube fast acting resin and then one of slow acting resin into the drilled hole and jam your rebar in, and use a dolly on the jackleg to spin in it while it mixes the two resins. It becomes incredibly hard and holds really well.

The risen is put into the roof bolt hole to seal any cracks in the top rockto keep out water that to rock can not to fall. One roof blot holds the weight of your flat bed truck.

That resin is used to set bolts into the overhead, they bore holes then inject the resin in and set the bolts, it keeps the loose from falling, the bolts will also hold the chain-link material to the overhead. MacLean Engineering in Collingwood Ontario makes a machine called a bolter, I manufactured the main CSA approved 600V electrical panels for them over several years. The machines run on diesel to the work area then run on hydro to do the drilling/bolting. There is a huge cable reel on the back of the bolter that unspools as they drive down the drift.
