having lived in indonesia for two decades this story makes me weep. the reason western countries go there to mine and drill is the total lack of oversight and legislation to protect the environment. they will very quickly not only level the mountain but the effluvia will wash into the sea and destroy fisheries, corals, etc. all legal.

What is more precious fish and gold
Papua Niu Guini. Because of the abundance of minerals, Indonesia will not let go of Irian Jaya. Coffee is also called kina gold in Papua Niu Guini.
Love the fact massive companies quoted multi millions to build a road
Local guy : give me a bulldozer mechanic fuel crate of beer n 20 Malborough 😂😂😂
I would loved to be the Prospecting Geologist on this project! Even tho I was 2! Lol
I would loved spending the night in the Forest! The memories they made are absolutely amazing and what life is all about! God created a huge playground for all his children to play in. Some get caught up in the 9-5 lifestyle while others are Blessed with exploring this Great & Awesome playground!🙏
A very few Great Men - the Pioneers, the Voyagers & Explorers - did the initial Very Hard Work, and the followers enjoy the Benefits! Great story to tell the younger generation! Bravo!!!
Jean Dozy died ashamed of the on-going ethic cleansing of West Papua and international looting that his 1936 survey lead to.
Nevada, USA, has a hell of a lot of gold as well.
The minerals recovered will never cover the negative environmental and social impacts.
Evidence please?
Bullshit
Great story, great history, great discovery. Well done.
The mine is NOT in Indonesia that is in Asian, Papua is the northern section of the Australian continent some 3500km east of Java (Indonesia).
West Papua is victim of illegal use of the UN Trusteeship system a.k.a. the "New York Agreement" to in-effect sell the indigenous Australian population and their homelands to their traditional enemy Indonesia/Java (Javanese have for past thousand years attempted to kidnap Papuans as a black slave commodity, but the Papuans kept beating them back. After creation of 'Indonesia' it demanded possession of West Papua, eastern Papua (now known as independent nation of PNG), northern Borneo, and East Timor.)
Unfortunately the Dutch in 1935 had allowed Standard Oil buy a 60% holding in the exploration company that was tasked with exploring West Papua's mineral resources, a year later they discovered what they renamed as Ertsberg and Grasberg and in violation of the license concealed both the discovery and survey reports while John Rockefeller made plans how to get hold of the mountains without paying the Dutch or Papuans for converting their sacred mountains into a hole.
Under the "New York Agreement" the US and UN appointed Indonesia as the "administrator" and in violation of the UN Charter for 61 years has turned its back while Indonesia and Freeport have been looting the colony. Sixty years of on-going mass murders, international looting, denial of media access, and on-going denial of rights..
West Papua is victim of the "New York Agreement" so WHY did Indonesia in 2005 forbid the US Senate passing that year's bill (sec.1115) asking questions about conditions inside West Papua and validity of the Indonesian claim of sovereignty over West Papua? The New York Agreement appointed Indonesia as the UN member to administrate and help West Papua towards independence, does the US not have a right and duty to ask about it?
The largest gold and copper project is in BC, Canada. The KSM project of Seabridge Gold is currently under development with all permits in hand. The company has just applied for the Substantially Started Status. Resources M&I plus INF = 154 Moz. of gold. DYOR
Richest country but poorest citizen 😢
Who fucking cares, 50 years ago plus
What did the citizenry do to develop the resource?
Grid and absolute madness thrives those destructive people
This story and what was accomplished is amazing. I can relate to some of these accomplishments on a lesser scale as I single handedly built roads through mountainous areas which were considered impossible to drive any kind of equipment or vehicles through. The only thing to travel here were horses nearly 100 years prior. I sometimes wonder whether anyone will ever credit my name with the access roads I carved through the steep, rocky, treacherous and secluded wilderness areas in central Pennsylvania, USA. I usually worked with forestors to engineer road grades and drainage for forestry roads.
You are amazing ❤
ROAD CLEARERS DO treeMENdous WORK.
are you an engineer?
Except for on-going ethnic cleansing, mass murders, international looting, and rape of the indigenous Australian population who do not want the Freeport mine or Indonesian gunships and military occupation. The mine is NOT in Indonesia that is Asian, Papua is the northern section of the Australian continent some 3500km east of Java (Indonesia).

Thanx!
I probably walked in one hunting.
We had a camp in Potter County. Part of the Appalachian Trail passed very near there. Old French Joe. There were old railroad beds too. No tracks or ties. But there were fire roads. While driving for deer some places were so steep I had to hold onto the trees with one hand and a rifle in the other. Practically walking on one knee uphill and leg extended on the other.
A jaw dropping story. Never heard this one before. Absolutely incredible what determined people can achieve.
GREAT WELL DONE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE THANK YOU
I worked for the company who built the conveyors that brings the gold and copper out to transport.

STFU western world is the truly evil, look at thousands of years history western world deeds around the world.
The geophysical aspects of these discoveries and engineering feats are truly phenomenal. What is missing is the geopolitical history that preceded the development of these incredible mines and the wealth they have produced.
Allan Dulles was the head of the CIA following the second world war. He was also an attorney for the Rockefellers. He learned of the gold and copper deposits as he was working for the family at the time Nelson Rockefeller's son 'disappeared' in the jungle. Dulles and the CIA were behind the coup that eventually displaced the Dutch colonies and put a CIA ally in power in what eventually became Irian Jaya The Dulles and CIA involvement also has a connection to the assassination of JFK, as was politically supporting Sukarno who held power in what had been the Dutch East Indies while being undermined in secret by Allan Dulles and the CIA who actively, but covertly, supported General Suharto who gained power in a coup following JFK's death. Dulles needed JFK not to support Sukarno while he, Dulles, was committed to using the CIA to put Suharto in power behind his back.
There was more than just the mutual hatred between JFK and Dulles and the CIA after the Castro debacle to underwrite the assassination. There was the huge amount of gold to be extracted with Dulles help by US control of General Suharto.
Great background info! Thanks!
I've long heard of the "disappearance" but never the backstory. I should have known it wasn't a random retreat to the wilderness.
Calm down jason bourne

Fascinating history of the gold mining in that area. I presume it still operates today.
Its still operating but Indonesian Gov now own big chunk of Freeport share there
Well done guys 👍😊
You have forgotten one significant variable. The massive copper mine in Panama is competing with the canall for water
I love Jay Pennington!
Briliant!
This is an engineering feat that hasn't been given close to enough press. There is a book about a crash in WW 2 in this area. The locals had barely ever seen a white person. Supposedly only one white person had ever been there before this crash. It was a near-stone age existence. It was a big operation to get them out. It was called A Crash into Shagri- La. Fantastic book.
Across most of West Papua there had been stories since the 1860s of white people, but few could believe it until they saw them. Then unfortunately under the on-going occupation of the "New York Agreement" came the Indonesian military, they used US Mitchell bombers during the 1960s, these days its Apache and other helicopter gunships and this year Chinese drones designed to carry eight mortar bombs that can be dropped on the target (villagers).
Yep its the beginning of what where called cargo cults mana from the sky
The second time watching this amazing feat. Still incredible!

wow amazing
Hamid awesome work

Honestly, how could anyone chalk this up as progress? It's a shame the locals weren't hungry.
HUngry? Not ever during the 70,000 years of West Papuan farming and habitation of Papua, until Standard Oil found out about the Amungme's gold, and NOTHING was going to stop the Cold-war banker architect Robert Lovett and his Freeport mining company getting access to the Papuan lands the Dutch were trying to protect.. The video is propaganda to conceal the on-going ethnic cleansing & international looting (BP, Koreans, China and others have joined Freeport's looting), please Google the Yale Law School title "Indonesian Human Rights Abuses in West Papua: Application of the Law of Genocide to the History of Indonesian Control" , or the Asian Human Rights title "Neglected Genocide". Or search RUclips for 'West Papua War' for efforts to get some public attention to what your companies and international friend Indonesia are doing in the Australian continental island of Papua.
why you want hungry locals?
If they'd been eating the miners the weapons technology mismatch would have been demonstrated
Odd, I didn’t see the giant settling ponds near the ocean. Usually these are toxic dumps which in this case are most likely dumping into the ocean in an under-regulated environment.

Thanks for your research. Mining always causes holes 🕳 see EV mining to save planet. Sarcastic as comments usually are.

Gold volcano must be nice unless it is in your backyard. Tram cables out of tune very interesting.
You picture says “Biggest Gold Mine” yet , your heading says Biggest Gold Reserve , so , which is it ?
I don't think the ore was anywhere near as rich, it was mostly copper. But the total amount of gold might have been larger, in the gold deposit that Anaconda planned to mine sixty years ago in Lewis and Clark county, Montana. After people found out the mine would have produced an open pit twenty miles wide, that idea got shut down fast. The copper, gold, and zinc are still there, but getting the metal out would ruin the area, and no mine was ever opened there. You'll notice that most big mines are located a long way from any areas that would be wrecked by the mining. Nobody is allowed to strip mine coal in the U.S. without restoring the mined property to the vegetation that was there originally.
Geologists have assured me there would have been several US$billion in gold on the surface when Bechtel bulldozed the area for Freeport, unfortunately it is impossible to know how much gold has been removed as it does not need to be sold in a market like copper does, and due to the infamous connections of Bechtel & Freeport with all of the former and current CIA directors there's no way of know what uses this undocumnted supply of gold has been used for.
Same here downunder opal miner here and where I live banned open cuts about 40yrs ago they end up as very large holes that are never remediated
@@owenwilson25 Valid point indeed
Would take hundreds of years
How many mines were restored to original conditions? Very rare. I have seen numerous open pit mines which are not restored. Huge piles of slag and overburden are the result.
600,000 tons, 1 gram of gold per ton, 28 grams per ounce so over 20,000 ounces at $1,700 per oz, looks like around $35 million per day just off gold. Amazing find indeed
and the rest. Goodman for thinking.

Now you know why Indonesia assassinated UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjod, but do you understand why the US and Soviets help conceal the act? Would you care to Google the Yale Law School title "Indonesian Human Rights Abuses in West Papua: Application of the Law of Genocide to the History of Indonesian Control" , or the Asian Human Rights title "Neglected Genocide" ? ? Westt Papua is UN trust territory that the UN is still concealing from the agenda of the UN Trusteeship Council so the Council can not begin its legal duties under articles 85 part 2, 87 and 88 of the UN Charter.
Don't forget it has infrastructure and running costs of $22 million per day... That leaves gross profit of $13 million per day , less taxes = $9 million per day X 7 = $63 million per week X 52 = $ 3,276 million per annum . NOT A BAD PAY DAY ... Wish it was mine ... (No pun intended) 🤣🤣🤣

Upon reading histories since 1982, I was reading about the slave labour gulags in Siberia in the 20th century. Those people were mostly innocent nationalists not happy with Russia's denationalisation program, a dodgy inhumane undertaking instituted by Moscow. Many of the slave labourers, zeks were Ukrainians, since Russia was for 200 or more years trying to bury anything Ukrainian. Apparently many zeks died on those gulags, from bad nourishment, bad weather, minus temperatures, bad treatment and such. One place was the Kolyma area of Siberia, and accounts state that it had(and possibly has), enormous gold deposits. Not that that mattered to the zeks, many of whom died prematurely. One account mentions that, during a spring thaw, a whole hillside uncovered masses of corpses. Mention is made of temperatures, during winter, of -71°C.
i remember sir.john morton 1 of the genious geologies..i know
These 2 giant mines destroyed the natural habitat and sanctity of the place......😢
20 years to build, costing over 3 billion dollars.
That can easily tell you how huge is this mine
Its obvious that ROI is so huge
so what impact did this huge hole have on the environment of the area?
Birth rate plummeted (due to copper in the water), massive mercury poisoning levels among the indigenous population (panning the Freeport wash as it flows downriver) as they try to survive among the Indonesians and other foreigners who've colonised their homelands, HIV/AIDS became rampant due to TNI transferring all of Indonesia's infected prostitutes (after sex with Thail fishermen) to Papua; all the classic colonial abuse you'd expect.

I think the better New Guinea story is the small, scrappy Aussie military force that faced down the Imperial Japanese Army in the same highland of New Guinea 80 years ago in WW2. Against all odds, they repelled an enemy trying to smash the Australian Nation.
yeah,. but they were slightly to the east in WW2. The mine in this video is in Indonesia, previously Dutch New Guinea territory in WW2 (west side of the island). The Aussies did their WW2 New Guinea campaign in Papua New Guinea( east side). The mining business continues today on both sides of the border, in the highlands... and all over the place. Same with Oil and Gas... there are operators from all over the world, in various areas. And definately all over PNG

It is pretty amazing. I did 2 120 day work visas there in 93-94 doing network installation and turn up working with the Indonesians. We worked from the port site to the mine and even did some underground work.
@@Chris_at_HomeAny advice for starting work as a starter in one of these mines?
You must be joking.
The evil Indonesians have repressed the native West Papuans for decades for their riches. The Kopassus (Indonesian Special Forces) are currently killing West Papuan freedom fighters who are fighting for Independence. West Papua and Papua New Guinea should become one country! Australia, NZ, UK and the USA should support their Independence and union because Indonesia could easily become the Iran of South East Asia!
A white built that infrastructure a long time ago. Indonesia gets its cut but the white man, as usual, get the larger, unfair cut.
Key West in the Florida Keys was once a 10,000 foot mountain of gold until it was all mined leaving a low lying island
But at least those were 'Americans' mining America, not a foreign military invasion from Asia 3500km away from the Australian island and indigenous peoples of Papua. The authors of the 'New York Agreement' were criminals, and the on-going international looting stunning.
WAS THIS Indonesian hero who build the dangerous road giving at least a fat compensation for his heroic triumph??

@@owenwilson25 I see that I spark a fire. To start I'm sorry I don't know Indonesias past or present difficulties, CHILD labor mishaves and so on. My only two cents were based on a video I saw on RUclips regarding a wealthy company finding 1 or 2 spots were millions of gold, copper Orr were found. And we're this Indonesian man build an impossible road.
@@mannycontreras5266 What the video omits is that West Papua is legally not part of Indonesia, not even part of Asia, it is some 3500km east of Java (Indonesia) because Papua is the northern 10% of the Australian continental land mass. That's why Papua has kangaroos, echidna, cassowaries, etc. and why Papuans look like Australian aboriginals because they are the same race whose ancestors settled Papua and all of the southern continent some fifty to seventy thousand years ago. Indonesia and Freeport are looting West Papua, they made multiple invasions during the 1950s each of which failed, in Dec' 1961 Indonesia launched Operation Trikora invasion which again failed as Papuans arrested the Indonesians, but earlier in Sep' 1961 the UN Secretary General was killed and replaced by Indonesia's buddy U Thant mostly because two days before Dag Hammarskjold was killed Indonesia announced it was refusing to accept the role as President of the 1961 General Assembly and thereby forcing the popular Mongi Slim of Tunisia to be President and thereby unable to be nominated as Secretary General when news came 36 hours later that Hammarskjold was dead. U Thant pressed the Americans to get the Dutch to sign what is now known as the 'New York Agreement' in which they are asking the UN General Assembly to annex West Papua and appoint Indonesia as administrator of the colony.
- Unfortunately our governments in article 81 and 85 of the UN Charter granted themselves the option to authorise UN annexations irrespective of local objections. Although article 85 part 2 requires that such action be reported to the UN Trusteeship Council so the Council can begin making its yearly UN reports about victims of UN annexations, U Thant decided not to tell the Council about West Papua... And so for the past 61 years Indonesia and others have enjoyed their freedom to kill and loot West Papuan people at will.
THAT is the reason any 'Indonesian' building any road or other colonial looting asset in Papua is a international criminal, not a "hero"

Excellent, well done video of a very interesting subject that I knew little about nor could I imagine anything like that either. That's what the price of gold and silver are based on - the cost of development and the ingenuity needed to do the actual developing to get the gold out of the ground. That's why the anti Pebble Project people in Alaska are going to lose that fight. They're NEVER going to walk away from a place in the US in Alaska where there's that much valuable minerals that's there for the taking that they already own. If they didn't walk away from Indonesia because of the challenges they faced there, Pebble will be a piece of cake comparatively speaking.
Initially development is a big cost, but probably 75% of the cost of gold and silver are diesel fuel. If diesel prices dropped to $2, gold and silver prices would collapse.
