Unbelievable Location For Gold Mine In The Alaska Wilderness

[@desertriderukverun1002]

As an Alaskan I always appreciate your coverage of our mines

[@johngiromini5745]

That last scene just exudes coldness, wilderness, unforgiving harshness.

[@TVRExploring]

I think that all of those are quite accurate.

[@vapormissile]

Amen. Show up for the gold. Stay for all the rest. Positive waves.

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Utter bleakness

[@markhooper5824]

That was awesome. You really do find obscure and interesting mines. Fantastic job you guys.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@seldoon_nemar]

I bet that backfill at 7:30 is the material they had to move to put the hoist in the side of the pre-existing working.

[@ahilltodieons]

It's so beautiful to visit Alaska, where the invincibility of Mother Nature is on full display. It does make one pine for the warmth and buzz of towns and cities "on the Continent" in a different way. The men and women who built and kept those mining nexuses alive were of a different breed.

[@davidmurphy4550]

Interesting to know this location has been around for lifetimes and will be for many more i’m sure it’s hard to say who were the last people to explore it but it probably doesn’t get too many visitors what a good explore and thank you guys for sharing

[@CornishMineExplorer]

What a amazing location, worth the trip alone! Loved that huge skip car, that was massive and I wonder how and why it ended up in the level like that...

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, it was very cold, but the views were phenomenal. We were left very curious about that skip car and the workings down that winze. It'd be miserable to get down there with the freezing water pouring on you, but there has to be some good stuff down there.

[@trinketsmusings]

Woooow...those boilers were AH-mazing! Thank you for taking your time the way you do. I appreciate you so much.

[@jamesthompson8008]

AWESOME views in this video, Justin!! THANK YOU As for the mining infrastructure, all I could think was BOOYAHH at 3:21 & at the boilers!! Those were freaking COOL! Makes you wonder how extensive those works were to require that amount of steam. Only that river knows now.

[@iknklst]

That must have been quite the operation back in the day. Serious effort and engineering went into that mine.

[@TVRExploring]

I'd love to have seen it...

[@rolfsinkgraven]

That skip area was interesting, it went down a long way tho but i guess that was nicely flooded, very nice big boilers wow, nice cliffhanger back in 10 years lol That last mine was indeed a mystery wow.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Incredible finds. What a beautiful river scene! Thanks a bunch 🙏 Ps. I don’t mind if you leave the camera on through the boring sections. 👍

[@williamwintemberg]

Those boilers along with the age of the mine suggests the steam was used to generate electricity. If and when the ice thaws, steam powered generators may be found close to the boilers. Very interesting. Thanks Justin and Crew!

[@AppliedOCD]

Thanks for sharing the meaningful description and awesome video! As a boiler guy, I can really appreciate the underground powerhouse! How cool is that??

[@davec3459]

You visit some stunning locations. Thank you for sharing them

[@paulcooper9135]

Excellent as always! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@kasilofchrisn2398]

Being as I live in Alaska I've always wanted to see you do some Alaska mines! And finally you did! Please do more Alaska mines in the future!!! Much appreciated! Would love to know what part of Alaska these mines were in?

[@TVRExploring]

I've done many mines in Alaska if you go back through the past few years of videos...

[@uwillnevahno6837]

3:38 IDK why but this scene reminds me of the video from a few yrs ago where there was a tunnel w/a sluice box in it packed w/material.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

Those huge boilers may have run a generator . Likely it is encased in the ice now. Nice scenery. Thanks for the pictures of it.

[@fuzzwack1]

It could have been used to melt the perma frost so the could dig...

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Great video, thank you for making the video

[@richardwarnock2789]

Really dark rock 🪨 that last mine!!

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, it was almost completely black.

[@williamperry6635]

How is the mine developing? Hoping to see more videos on that subject.

[@dirkhartman9572]

The mine with the steam boilers and electring wiring must have been a huge operation back in the day, too bad you couldn't explore the other levels

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, this is one of those that I particularly would have liked to see when it was in full swing.

[@Carolb66]

Fab explore Justin & buddy's in beautiful Alaska! The colours, artifacts & echo in those mines is great. Love seeing the rails too. ❤😊👍

[@johncarold]

Hey Justin, WoW what is great spot to explore,

[@timothymilam732]

As I've come to expect from you and the crew, another excellent video into the unknown depths of the earth.. What's there is next to impossible to determine, due to the nature of the subject of what probably started as a hobby, but has morphed into something entirely way past that concept for obvious reasons at least for myself, and I'm sure most of the long time viewers you've earned over the years. Any idea on how much was brought out of the first mine, and what fuel they used to fire those large boilers? Wait, because by now you know that's not the only questions I have that has my curiosity peaked. How in the heck did they get all the timber to support all the workings, and equally as well the very large vessels boilers, and other equipment to this location. Especially so about the trams cable, power systems. As I didn't see any forms of generating power other than steam for the electric system they had, which appears to have come from the outside going by the power wires that were on the back of the adit the entire time? Too many unanswered questions left unsolved in there truthfully. Such how deep does the map, site plan indicate that they reached ? See I've always got a need for more information about what the whole picture was during the time it was in full operation, but I understand that information at best is very limited from historical records.. It'd be great to talk to someone who worked in many of these different locations back in the day. Yes Sir, I fully understand that there's probably not anyone alive except maybe a kid of some of them, and they would be like myself getting up there in years too. As always young man, y'all be careful, be safe, and keep doing what you love doing as long as you are able.

[@TalRohan]

a very wintery explore...hows your foot? There just seems to be so much potential left in these mines now. but the last one is mind boggling. thanks for sharing

[@jeremytuggle6424]

Very interesting to see!

[@Dave_9547]

Great explore and video. Do you have an approximate date the first mine was active? Early 1900's?

[@WesternSapphireStar]

Very cool explore

[@rickbauer7976]

I sure enjoyed your video. The underground boiler room was impressive! What was under the ice?

[@chrissaucier9386]

Those are awesome. Where up here are those ?

[@thomasgirty6397]

every time he say's "INFASTRUCTURE" take a drink. great vido's.

[@davidmicheletti6292]

You continue to impress me with your fantastic travels

[@olspanner]

Great mines and scenery. Thanks for sharing. Bigger mozzies than OZ ??? [at anytime]

[@qldabandonedmines]

That winze station was sensational. Maybe worth a rope down that man way if that location has a dry season? Thanks for sharing Justin. That last one was odd. Doesn't add up.

[@OGRocker1]

Howdy Eb... G-day mate

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

Where is the cable or "rope" for the winze?

[@whackozakko]

At 4:00 into your video, you hear a high-pitched voice exclaim "Hey!" Was that a buddy of yours?

[@redlight722]

How the hell did they get a boiler down there? Or did they build it in place? Was the steam used to run an engine? Or drills?

[@MildaGoesWild]

The views from the car! Nice to find some compressed air tanks.

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, this was a cold one, but the views were fantastic!

[@fattiretom]

Are the Bremner Mines still explorable? Tons of artifacts at the camps when we packed through. Only way to get there is bush plane.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

WOW sweet find!

[@davidhultquist8721]

That is awesome I would love to be there with you guys so sweet.

[@williamlaw6109]

Why would there be boilers inside the mine?

[@VendettaProspecting]

Those mines were pretty insane 🇺🇸

[@TVRExploring]

The location of the first one was unlike anything that I've seen before.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Justin, your back must have really been shouting at you down that drift, the boiler was awesome to see, I cannot remember when I last saw one inside an adit. Wow, that mystery mine as you rightly said has so many questions, I'm guessing they took all the tailings and ore with them because they may not have had a permit etc and that's why it abruptly ended because they may have got caught. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

[@TVRExploring]

Miners mining without a permit? Unthinkable. Something like that could never happen... LOL, yes, that could well be the answer.

[@SueGirling68]

@@TVRExploring Haha yup. xx

[@PVW1960]

So woukd you assume tyhe "ghost mine" was world war 2 era & shut odwn for the war? Maybe everything was taken outy for anotgher mine?

[@robertquast9684]

Hard to imagine dragging those boilers into the bush to put into the mine. Have you ever tried or thought about a laser range finder to try and get some scale on those bigger stopes or deep winse

[@djspatrick]

An amazing trip to beautiful country. They don't do things by halves up in the land of the midnight sun.

[@johnross775]

Alaska sadly is part of the usa.

[@OGRocker1]

@@johnross775 Sorry bro, but if you don't like it, ........... Alaska is a part of America, and will remain so. Edit; Sorry Justin, but I am getting a bit tired of all this anti-American crap!

[@-r-495]

Spectacular!

[@reckerrit3103]

That is crazy!!!

[@moonbear1st]

nothing about the mines is boring mate all awsome..

[@toddrife8375]

Very good video you gentlemen did a beautiful job. ✌️❤️🍺

[@twisttwister8254]

Awesome

[@EraX52]

Imagine whats down in the lower workings of that winze, only mysteries

[@TVRExploring]

We'd love to know... That one has really stuck with us.

[@shopdog831]

Im thinking that last tunnel was soot black from using steam haulage underground.

[@David-jn4fx]

Sweet view man 🤩 brrr.. nice Eskimo mine

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

What did they burn in the boilers? Coal? Where is the rest of the coal?

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@keirakain]

The boilers look like jaba the hut

[@Exclusiveketurah]

My brother I hope people know we’re you are? Plz be safe.

[@Stevesbe]

It you light the boilers back up I'm sure it would melt it

[@TVRExploring]

That is definitely true.

[@brianvalley5223]

The darkness of the last mine was unforgiving.

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, it was wild how black it was.

[@chamonix4658]

some of these mines... it must of felt like working on the moon with how remote they can be. Would larger operations have doctors or hospitals? I cant imagine getting a serious injury out there

[@TVRExploring]

The wellbeing of the miners wasn't a big priority with the older mines. I've never seen or heard of a proper medical facility at any older mine like this one.

[@Inesophet]

That last mine was perhaps an illegal prospect. That would explain why it was picked clean and perhaps great care was taken to not be all too visible from the outside.

[@TVRExploring]

It may have been illegal, but it was a huge, full-scale operation. That was much more than a prospect.

[@131313655]

Cool

[@TVRExploring]

Literally, it was.

[@lelandkelley2199]

The old electric wiring is called knob & tube .

[@bruceflaws3213]

Just knob. No tubes. The tubes were for safe passage of wire through floor joists.

[@rh5563]

👍👍👍

[@jonsson_68]

It's unbelievable what they could drag into mines in the past. Those steam boilers didn't look light at all

[@TVRExploring]

No, they definitely were not.

[@nonyabusiness9747]

Anyone who wants a extended mining season on alaska should hit me up i have concepts on how to do that and want to.

That's Bob Ross country.
