Gold Ace Mine 1913-1928 Gold Workings- Lower Levels - Huge Stopes- Pt. 2

In this video, we pick up where we left off in part 1, where we were rounding the corner, and the main part of the Gold Ace comes into view. This is a very interesting mine and unique as it has many large openings where huge amounts of ore were removed. Outside, there is a large waste rock pile, an ore bin, a very big rock wall, and an equipment pad. We picked an opening and ventured in. Once inside, we were surprised by the size and randomness of the workings. There are also several dangerous shafts and pits that want to suck you into them. We found a set of ore car tracks and followed them throughout the upper level. We then climbed down a ladder that led to a wooden ore chute that we went through and ended up on a lower drift level. After exploring the lower level, we found another way back up to the ground level and exited the mine. We hope you enjoy the video!

I'm surprised that nobody has not homesteaded in there, it's big enough, real cool until the ceiling falls on you.

Mines are really that inviting to live in for the most part. There are always rats in them, and they are obviously very dark. We have seen a couple over the years that were being used as a shelter but not often at all. Thanks for commenting, Peter!👍😊

[@myfavoritemartian1]

3:31 When the fault shear surface is flat like that it is known as a "Tabular" formation. When dealing with them always inspect the pillars left to hold up the workings as the vein will be there. 7:16 Signs of a fire to drive out Bats. I see a bunch of places. 12:01 The ballroom is left when ever a tabular vein is removed. (Wide and flat) I saw some Limonite and quartz which is some of what they were after. Limonite being one type of iron ore and when iron is present, gold is near by. ("Gold rides an Iron horse." Old miner's saying) Thanks for another good video!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks for the detailed comment. We took a look at the pillar in the ballroom to see the vein left there. This was the flattest angle of a fault that I've seen. Glad that you enjoyed the explore!👍😊

[@ronstanek2851]

Hi Tom and Julie, what a very interesting mine, how many levels does this have? It’s set in a very nice area of the desert. Did you see any quartz veins? Sure did alot of blasting, what a maze! I like it when you find tracks but too bad you didn’t find an orecart. What area is this close to? We are trying to enjoy Vegas but I really want to go back to Tucson, traffic here is crazy , but I do enjoy traveling here and will definitely check out Rhyolite again, one of my favorite places! Stay healthy and safe out there! Great Video!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Ron. It's definitely an interesting layout with all the openings at the portal. We could only find the two levels with some upper stopes or sub levels. This mine is near Beatty, NV. We try to stay away from Vegas because of the traffic. Rhyolite is just up the road from here, so it would be a good one for you to visit if you go there. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

[@richardbeee]

I'll try to spell this right. Dessimated. A whole bunch of tiny veins. The various drifts were exploring for the main vein. Great explore.😊

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks for the comment, Richard! Glad that you enjoyed the explore. 👌😊

[@jimmime]

Thank you, Tom & Julie! That mine looked like it was Swiss Cheese. I see I'm not the only one thinking that. LOL Safe journeys.

You're welcome, Jimmi. It's a strang working for sure. The multiple openings are pretty rare. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍😊

[@robertbeermanjr.2158]

Wow! What a crazy and dangerous collection of shafts and stopes and general chaos. Not your simple portal entrance. That's for sure.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Roert. When you look back at all those portals from inside the mine, it looks so cool with the light coming in. Some of the shafts would like to suck you into them. Fun stuff! Thanks for the comment!👍😊

[@markhooper5824]

That was brilliant you two. Loved the flat hanging wall. Never seen any video with someone popping out of an ore chute before. Ace.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thank you, Mark. This was a very flat ore body almost horizontal. Quite unusual for this area. We popped in and out of a few ore chutes over the years. Appreciate the comment!👍😊

[@jimmystockdale7555]

Another great mine, and some beautiful country. That was pretty interesting the way they seemed to go in every direction. Tom you and Julie be real careful, don't want to see either of you getting hurt. Until next time take care and God bless.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Jimmy. Yes, another fun one in the beautiful desert. It is an interesting one the way it goes in all directions. I am always getting minor injuries no matter how careful I am. Lol. Thanks for the comment and blessing, we appreciate you!👍😊

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

Hello Tom and Julie. I expected you to bump into Indian Jones. They obviously moved a lot of rock for probably not a lot of ore. Stay safe and God bless.

[@tonyidle7813]

thank-you for the video , very interesting - kind of like swiss cheese. I always thought of hanging walls as vertical and not horizontal overhead .

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

You're welcome, Tony. Yes, a Swiss cheese like mine. Generally, the fault or vein in most mines is not this flat, so the hanging walls and foot walls would be more vertical, as you said. They come in all shapes and sizes. Thanks for commenting!👍😊

[@thomasanglin1751]

This has got to be the most unorganized mines I've ever seen. No ryme or reason for all the shafts. Looks like a bunch of giant mice went through there...

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Maybe the mice were leading the miners, Thomas. I'm sure they knew what they were doing even though it may not look like it now. Thanks for watching!👍😊

[@eddie9903]

When you set Julie down that hole and then you followed I thought like I thought before you guys are crazy.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Going through ore chutes is one of the common ways to go between levels in mines if the ladders are ruined. It's actually kind of fun if you're not too fat. Thanks again!👌😄

Quite the Lens body you explored. Thanks for taking us along.

[@anthonyiocca5683]

I haven’t seen all your videos, but this one looks to be very much like the game Jenga. The easiest way to render that mine safer is to blast the entrance…

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Anthony. This mine is an interesting layout and not terribly dangerous. I hope the government doesn't try to blast this shut and destroy an interesting piece of our nation's history. Thanks for commenting!👌

[@johnpence8529]

I don't think I have ever seen a gold mine with those huge hollowing outs before. Interesting for sure.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

There are some big stopes in this one, which is what the void is called after ore has been removed. Glad that you found it interesting, John. Thanks for watching!👍😊

[@robertharold2503]

Great job guys. Why would they drop ore down when I would assume the goal would be to get it out of the mine

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Robert. Usually, if ore is dropped down, it is headed for a haulage adit lower down to be trammed out horizontally. Gravity is a miner's friend. We didn’t see a haulage at this mine, though. Thanks for the comment!👍😊

[@donlum9128]

Amazes me the amount of hand labor to build those walls. Hard work back then

Hi John. Calico used to have some great mines to explore. Unfortunately, they are either all beat up or sealed up now. Glad that you enjoyed this one, and thanks for commenting!👍😊

[@desertrat8322]

Awesome video !!! , that mine had quite a few deep vertical shafts that looked dangerous if you didn't pay attention to where you were going The view from outside the mine looking across the valley , was that the eastern Sierra Nevada mtns and the snow capped Mt Whitney range ???

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes,those shafts really want to suck you into them. It makes sense because some were ore passes dropping ore to a lower haulage level. The view of the mountains is of the snowy Panamint range and Telescope Peak. Thanks for watching!👍😊

[@myfavoritemartian1]

The mine was just off of I95 near Gold Center. On the east side of the mountain where the mine is lies the Yucca Nuclear waste storage facility.

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

The open stope area is cool. Interesting geology in this mine... not much to see visually but the layering of the rock is what makes it interesting. Hanging wall appears to be almost flat!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

The stopes are really cool to see looking back at the light coming through all the openings. The camera didn't really do it justice. You're correct that the ore vein is almost flat, which is unusual. Thanks for commenting!👍😊

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

@@TomandJulieMineExploring I recently saw another mine which had similar flat vein but the rock surrounding it was very unstable... as a result huge slabs fell off back of mine and the rock itself was also very crumbly, not the hard rock in your mine explore. Was truly a very dangerous mine to be in. I was nervous just watching the video!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Oh yeah, slabbing, or huge groundfall is extremely dangerous.

The fires were usually set to drive out Bats so the miners could work. Most of the old burned spots were out in the middle of the floors.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Correct. We've seen that many times. This fire burned up the timbering in a small shaft and was much too big for a bat fire.👌

Thanks Tom & Julie, I was in CA for three years from 1962 to 1965 after I came back from Korea and was stationed at Ft. Ord. There are so many things that I have learned about CA via these videos that you and others have made. I wish I would have been more aware of all this area had to offer when I was out there. Now I am way too old to be hiking to do it but enjoy what you and your lady are doing. I am originally from the coal mining heart of PA near Shamokin, PA. There is a guy now on KZbin exploring the old coal mines which is really dangerous because of mine gasses and cave ins . Be safe and take care!

Hi Len. I'm sure they found gold here, although I don't have the production numbers in front of me. The old miners were pretty sharp at identifying valuable mineral veins and removing them.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hey Raiderman. There are some big stopes here and a few vertical shafts that you need to be aware of. You're welcome, and thank you for commenting! We appreciate it!👍😊

Hi Tom & Julie, sorry to hear you were injured Tom, that mine was really undecided where it wanted to go lol. The flowers were very pretty too, thank you for sharing, much love to you both. xx 🥰💞

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Sue. I don't generally mention when I am injured, but I was out for a total of 6 weeks last winter during our mine exploring season. The desert flowers were outstanding on this day. The mine was kind of crazy going all over. Thanks for the comment and love. We appreciate you!👍😊❤️

I also like the still shots you take, with so many angles and beautiful Julie highlighting them. That sky is ALWAYS blue!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Glad that you enjoy the photos, Sally. I think they add something that video doesn't capture. Julie always brightens up the photos and the day. Thanks for the nice comment!👍😊
