Strange Nevada Gold Mine In Incredible Setting

We put some serious abuse on a Jeep taking a “shortcut” in to this strange Nevada gold mine, but, whatever… It was for a good cause. Jeeps are notoriously unreliable anyway, right? So, no big loss. And a Jeep with some rather significant cosmetic damage to the exterior simply demonstrates that it was being used as it should be, right? To be fair, I’ve been in some interesting places with Jeeps, but my years of running with various insurgent groups and rebel armies in some of the worst places around the world has given me an unwavering faith in Toyota 4WDs.
So, the strange mine we have here - approximately half a mile of workings, two shafts at a depth of almost 400 feet (the distance from the ridgetop to the haulage adit level) and that open stope… The shafts and open stope (which may have started out as surface workings) on the top of the ridge were pursued first. And what the miners found was obviously good enough to lead them to construct the cyanide mill (a big investment even a century ago) and to drive that large adit in for haulage as well as to access the deeper ore bodies and the convenience of hauling the ore out and right into the top level of the mill. For those of you that are not as familiar with mining, gravity makes it much easier to drop ore and waste rock down rather than to haul it out. Thus, you’ll see shafts often have a haulage adit connected to them to haul out the heavy material, stopes drop down to ore chutes, etc.
This abandoned mine is in a pretty remote area of Nevada, but what an incredible setting! I wish all of you could have been there in person to see the morning sun hitting those rocky cliffs, causing them to glow a brilliant red. I’m sure the miners never tired of that view. Really, I regret not thinking to pull the camera out to try and capture the sunrise because the scenery was amazing in every direction in that light.
By the way, in case it wasn’t clear in the comment above, we spent the night on the waste rock pile of this mine. If you find yourself camping in the desert often, but you’re not a mine explorer, you may not know this. However, it’s hard to beat a waste rock pile at a mine for a great camping spot. You’ve got a nice flat area to park and set up your camp, the rock makes it safer to have a campfire, you’ve got cool air blowing out of the adit… If you camp next to one though, please don’t fall down a mine shaft. Abandoned mines already have enough working against them. We don’t need more fuel on the fire. Oh, and one of my friends consumed too much tequila while we were there and was in rough shape the next morning. Be careful of tequila as well…

Growing up in California’s “Gold Rush Country” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them - nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.
These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that colorful niche of our history is gone forever. But, you know what? We enjoy doing it! This is exploring history firsthand - bushwhacking down steep canyons and over rough mountains, figuring out the techniques the miners used and the equipment they worked with, seeing the innovations they came up with, discovering lost mines that no one has been in for a century, wandering through ghost towns where the only sound is the wind... These journeys allow a feeling of connection to a time when the world was a very different place. And I’d love to think that in some small way we are paying tribute to those hardy miners that worked these mines before we were even born.
So, yes, in short, we are adit addicts… I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!

On the back (i.e. above) at 3:32 and 24:49, and in the rib (i.e. side) at 25:18 you can see breccia in a grey matrix. The grey mattrix may contain very fine grained pyrite, iron sulphide FeS2, and could be low or high grade ore. The veins at 8:19 could be very fine grained breccia in pyrite and quartz. The yellow stains throughout the mine are likely to be jarosite, KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6, whose SO4 sulfate is a common an oxidation product of pyrite in potassic rocks. The relatively wide and square drifts suggest the miners were driving through fairly soft rhyolite tuffs, some of which are likely to be welded. Rhyolite and rhyolite tuffs are typically white and contain Sanidine, K(AlSi3O8), which can be a source of the potassium, K, that is in jarosite. Those minerals and rocks are commonly associated with epithermal gold deposits. Some of these deposits are near rhyolite flow-domes, which are extruded or near-surface volcanic necks. The flow-domes can be round or lenticular or irregular when viewed from above. The domes can be flow-banded (i.e. plate-like), contain visible quartz crystals, and are very hard, forming prominent ridges or hills (surrounded by tuffs). Eruptions of rhyolite can be explosive when in contact with water, can cause stockworks of small gold veins, which may not be economic for underground mining, and the shallowest ones can be capped by hot spring sinters. Some of the best gold for open pit mining can be close to the domes, and can even be below a dome (in the adjacent tuffs). While this mine has been sampled (most of the spray paint marks rock chip sampling locations), a larger open pit mine target may be uphill, where a rhyolite banded flow-dome may exist at 28:52. It can be slow and expensive to blast a road on top of a rhyolite dome, Depending on the existence of flow-banded rhyolite and depending on seeing more evidences of breccias or stockworks, after staking claims I might (assuming I was an exploration geologist and could get the budget) place drill rig pads (to drill for an open pit target) above the highest workings and perhaps on the other side of the ridge, with its plate-like rock outcrops (as seen 28:52). On the other hand, I would expect to see more than one mine around the ridge, more breccias and stockworks than what was in the mine, plus that ridge may not be a rhyolite flow dome, so 28:52 may not be a good target.

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

Holy cow that's interesting!! I'm going to rewatch the video and re-read your post as I go. I often explore with Jeff Williams so I get a geology lesson every time out, but I have a very long way to go. Your discussion about the domes reminds me of the proposed open pit mine being planned on the outskirts of Goldfield. That area is part of a caldera, and I heard that drilling had found a dome and they were planning to mine it. The road has been rerouted but no mining yet that I'm aware of. Thanks again for the lesson!

[@davidtosh7200]

If you see a deep hole on the ground when exploring Nevada’s old mines, stay away from it because the deep hole can be 200 or even 300 feet deep, and an instant death does occurred. They should put barriers around the deep holes for personal safety. And besides there is nothing and it is useless.😢

I love these dry mines just for the fact that everything is so well preserved. scary as hell thinking of the floor giving way to a pit like that though. Stay safe man!

This one little more sketchy then normal hard rock mines.

[@AGDinCA]

I'm so glad you brought the drone out to this one. These bird's-eye views are so helpful in adding context to the mine structures. As for that shredded bark hanging down from the unmilled logs, I believe they were acting as runners, looking for soil to set root in. That would have taken place in the immediate aftermath of their emplacement within the mine. What surprises me is that they were left like that. They aren't really in the way, but I still would have figured someone would have trimmed them down. Of course, it's just speculation on my part. Perhaps the bark shredded for a different reason.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

I've been in a barn from the 1840's. The under part of the loft was like that. Tiny beetles might be responsible. It was in my case, the beams were full of little holes.

[@AGDinCA]

@@napalmholocaust9093 Interesting thought! I wonder if beetles could shred the bark like that??

[@richardreid6377]

That is shredded juniper bark. Some of it on the logs (possibly shredded by rodents after it dried) and I suspect some pulled loose and used to chink the gaps between the logs by the miners.

[@SirWulfrick]

That's one of the cleanest mines I've ever seen.

When I see fluorescent spray paint surveyed in these mines ... it usually means the artifacts are gone. I appreciate you taking the time to film the carbide graffiti because I love a glimpse back into history.

Yes, unfortunately, the spray paint is always a bad sign. Sometimes, as is the case here, the layout of the mines can be interesting even without the artifacts.

Hi Justin, what a great mine to explore, I loved seeing all of those old tree's instead of the normal milled timbers we usually see, it definitely was awesome and fairly unique to see so many of them in one mine. I always enjoy looking at all the miners graffiti and different things left behind. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞

You may be a bit jaded, I watch a lot of mine exploring videos and I never get tired of watching the initial walk into the adit. As someone who can't get out and explore these mines, I start to feel like I'm there with you until you cut me off with " I'll turn the camera off and get back to you when I see something interesting " it kinda breaks the third wall.

I started out thinking this mine looked much less sketchy than usual, then suddenly you're crossing a century old board over a deadly pit. Amazing site and mine, one can only imagine how much unexplored ground remains underneath. Not surprised but still glad to know you're not going without a helmet under these delaminating slabs.

My Great Uncle owned a lot of land in Nevada and Texas, both had old mines on them. No matter what he did to keep people out of them, people would always find a way to break in. This was in the 1980s. After his death in 1992, his sons Filled up the mine shafts with rocks and block them up. In 1998 one of the old mines towards the edge of their land was dug out by illegal miners and it caved in. two families tried to sue them for their deaths. they claimed there wasn't any no trespassing signs or Danger signs lol Here is the funny part of it, they went there to mine for gold :/ There was never any gold found on that land. It was a very old copper mine

[@MollydogRadar]

I worked in the Star Mine up Burke Canyon in northern Idaho for about 10 years, until it closed in June of 82, at a depth of 8300 feet. I don't really understand why they drove so many drifts in so many different directions in the mine you're in. The way they did it at the Star, Bunker, Galina, Lucky Friday mine was to sink a shaft about 100 feet off the ore vein. Then drive drifts, following the vein, but staying 100 feet away. We would drive cross-cuts off the main drift to about 50 feet past the ore vein. We would then start to mine up on the vein 10 feet and then mine out, following the vein. The cross cuts were usually 200 feet apart. The cross-cuts were driven 50 feet past the vein so they could get the ore cars under the shoots. This was, to me, a uniform way of mining. Not a bunch of tunnels going in random directions. And each level was 200 feet apart. I started on level 7500 in 1972.

[@67volksrodder]

Great video. That thin ledge was so sketchy. I was wondering about the spot where you were standing. How thick was that section. Imagine if you all were there before it caved. Such a cool dry mine. Don't like the wet ones. Stay safe.

[@DFDuck55]

Yes, the Dwarfs in Snow White were miners, their mine was called The Dwarfs Mine, where they dug for diamonds. Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs film came out in 1937, but the graffiti may have predated that since the story was written in 1812 by Brothers Grimm. That's wild how many trees were in this mine. They didn't even remove the bark.

[@TVRExploring]

Ah, yes, I forgot that they were mining diamonds... 1812? I hadn't realized the story was that old. Interesting.

I live in coal mining country, and one of the mines here you can literally see foundations of houses inside the mine above you :) When i was a kid, we found one of the many collapsed sections and i slide down in hole inside while friend lowered me down using a garden hose we had (hey we was kids, not to bright). Needless to say when i got through the hole i used flashlight and i was standing on a pillar that all around it collapsed down further into the mine! I was literally standing in middle of a HUGE cavern filled with water...it was like straight out of a movie. Needless to say i was lucky pillar was huge so was able to get back out and didn't drop to far down. That hole is still there to this day...the crazy part? New houses all around it. lol THis area is ranked as of of the worse areas to live in if a earthquake of 7.0 or high hits they expect total loss of town...into the mine.

@@redrider7730 Honestly, I was surprised to see even those bushes growing there in the middle of that obviously dry, 115°f desert. It seemed odd that the vegetation would be that thick in that area of the desert. 'Somehow' there must be more rain in that region, but even the soil looks too poor and rocky to support THAT much vegetation. Surprisingly, that soil looks worse than our horrible, garbage native clay soil here in northern Delaware! Well, at least the humidity can't possibly be as high there in Nevada as it is here in summer....

@@redrider7730 Yeah, i didnt necessarily expect a predominantly sandy soil there in those bush/shrub(??) covered mountains shown at the beginning of this video.
