That's the most amazing mining/refining facility I have ever seen. It's hard to grasp the enormity of that rusting behemoth lying silent and still in the utter blackness. People walking right over the top it, oblivious to the great monument of industry lying below their feet in it's great halls of stone. Thanks so much for the great work Bob.
There are 2 things that always come to mind when I see places like this: 1) It's truly incredible to think that this was all done in the early to mid 1900s without any of the modern equipment/tools available today. 2) You have to stop and wonder exactly how much money in terms of equipment, supplies, or even just scrap metal gets left behind in places like this.
Why do we let them leave all their trash like this? Irresponsible. Wasteful. Get rich and leave the mess to be a danger to people in the future. I am of the opinion that some of these tunnels are older than they say. That's why we can't hold people accountable. We don't always know who dug them.
Would cost more than the metal is worth to rip it out of the installations it was installed for. You also have to factor in the risk. Ripping out the infrastructure that's potentially holding the ceiling above you wouldn't be worth it.
Best episode ever! This mine is a real time capsule, giant and also mystic in a specific way. Imagine the hard work back in the past to built up this mine in that massive structure... and nowadays it's still intact!
13:02 The long, narrow mills are probably rod mills; the short, wide mills are ball mills. Rod mills produce a coarser product which is then run through ball mills for fine grinding. If the different minerals were used to produce different concentrates, that would be accomplished in the flotation section downstream of the mills. Just guessing, this plant probably produced a lead/zinc concentrate and a copper concentrate. At 13:48, the rods can be seen inside the mill body!
Bob, I really enjoy the discussion you both engage each other with in this mine. You both have good synergy as partners in the exploration. Love watching you in your travels from here in Newfoundland, Canada! Stay safe guys!
I've been near this area about 5 years ago, Durango to Silverton to Ouray. While I was driving up to Ouray near Silverton the river was literally a light mustard yellow. Such a BEAUTIFUL area. To me it was so beautiful i drove up the Hermosa Mountain and camped on it by myself for an entire week! Yall are awesome, Yall inspire me to explore! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡
I said it in the last video - but it's worth repeating in part - thanks for taking the time to slow down on the camera panning and stop to let us enjoy the scenery and especially the mechanicals on this one - it is actually quite interesting to look at all that old machinery and wonder how it operated / sounded and what it did.
Wow. Never seen a mine this big and elaborate before. Amazing. I wonder how they got all that equipment down there? You guys deserve more likes, views and subscribers!
Still, the enormity of the space, combined with all the huge pieces of equipment. Utterly amazing when one thinks about how far back in the mine it was, and difficult it must have been to get all that equipment in there. Wow!🤷♂️🤯
Beautiful decay! After the paint flakes off, the metal flakes off - looks sketchy as hell in some places 😬 Cant wait for the second part! I also appreciate that you run a mic for each of you so we get to hear both crystal clear 👌
Amazing video of a huge mine here in Colorado! The corrosion was off the hook bad! I felt like I was right there with you, guys, can't wait for part 2! Nice job!!
Hi, an absolutely amazing find, the mill actually being inside of the mine is a fantastic find all of it's own as it is really rare to find a mill that is situated inside of the workings. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
I can't get over how much work was put in to create a place like this. Imagine hauling in all that material and constructing such an elaborate place far underground. I would be very concerned about the air quality though and highly recommend a detector/alarm.
I'm glad to see that there's more videos coming. Truly amazed by what was built below ground. Truly stunned. Thanks for taking your time to make the video.
Ur Audio Quality Is Nutz!! U Can Here Everyone Very Distinctly I Also Like that U Mention Safety Issues As U Go Through The Facility , Always Enjoy Ur Content Very Top Shelf !!! All The Best Again Ur Quality Presentations Are Among The Best !!! B!!! 🇺🇸🇵🇱🇺🇦💪🏻💯
Can't even imagine how many years it took to clear out the rocks and to move everything needed in before mining started operating. Looking forward to part 2 and maybe more.
Would have love to see that place working I'm a fan of machinery and engineering could you imagine the sound in that place with all those machines running
Do you think you could privately send me the name of the mine so I could read about this place and how it worked? I’ve been looking for it all over the internet but couldn’t find the mine
Although uranium occurs in several areas of the state, much of the historic uranium and vanadium production is from numerous and relatively small mines in the Uravan mineral belt located in Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel Counties. This area accounted for about 77% of the total uranium production in Colorado from The Colorado Geological Society
Another great video Bob! Let me know if you guys are still in CO. Would love to meet up with you guys and buy you lunch or dinner before you guys leave Colorado.
Wow Bob this place is amazing! How in the world did they get all the big equipment so deep into the mine??. How did people work in these awfully places! Terrible working conditions!! Great explore Bob!
Great video never disappoint with you're work! They probably break the heavy machinery into smaller sub assemblies then take it in on the tracks in carts and reassemble. I can't see how else it would be possible.
I know the terrible conditions started the decay as soon as they left. At that time leaving must have been difficult as all the machinery certainly didn't look like it does at the moment. I see tools in my shed don't look like I just put them there and it's very humid here in Jacksonville. The water we see now was possibly dripping there then. Another 40 years will look like a bomb went off.
2:42 That arm is to dump side exit cars. That metal bar grid under it is called a "Grizzly". It lets in rock up to a certain size. The rest need broken up again. The passage under it is called an "Ore Pass". 13:47 That is a "ROD" mill as it uses heavy long rods to break up the finer materials.
Amazes me what humans are capable of. To think all that had to be stoped out before they could build that massive processing plant inside the mine…hauling all of the materials into the mine…the scale is truly mind-blowing. What an amazing explore.
Well done showing us your exploration of this amazing mine. It is just amazing how much equipment and gear they hauled underground, and then left it all behind. Thank you for sharing this.
The mineral processing area looked like it had flotation cells. The ore is ground up in the rod mills then water and a custom foaming agent and air are added and mixed; the desired mineral floats to the surface in the foam and is skimmed off.
I have a very specific and strange love for the idea of abandoned and dilapidating industrial environments. It's been there since I was a kid, and no doubt was amplified by playing games like Half Life 2. I think the idea has something to do with my introverted tendencies, and the fantasy of being the only person left somewhere. Your videos do such an excellent job of transporting me into that feeling...the style of your content is very relaxing, focused, clean, and real. Not hyped or over-edited...just an experience of being there with you quietly exploring. Thank you for the videos you make - I've found a lot of joy in watching.
Thanks! I have a lot more of these videos. I also made a 360 video on the terrain of a massive abandoned blast furnace.( you don’t need VR glasses but you can look around) Guess you’ll love that too!😄
It’s sad to think that a lot of those platforms you guys walked on won’t be around for too much longer I’m sure. But awesome that we got to see them before they collapse one day.
i realize that almost every one of my comments starts out with the word "Amazing", but i don't know what other word to use. you guys find the greatest discoveries. you know my love of old abandoned machinery, so for me you struck gold here. if i was with you, i would have spent hours and hours just looking at all this neat stuff. thanks so much Bob, for all your incredible journeys. thanks too for making these stunning videos and inviting all of us along with you. :-)>
@@skyscraper5910 yeah, that's probably true. I really like Bob's work and think his channel is very much under rated. I do my best to support him as best I can. I've purchased both his coffee table books (awesome books) and I'm one of his patreon supporters. Commenting and letting him know how much I appreciate his work is just another way of supporting him. I'm fascinated by mechanical things and Bob's explores dig into the belly of these beasts. He doesn't go for the "pretty" things like most other urban explorers do but dives deep into the raw guts and workings of these abandoned properties. I'm old and fat and so I envy what he's able to do and live vicariously through his work. I hope that one day, I might be able to meet him in person so I can shake his hand and buy him a beer.
In diamond mines they only process the ore once it is inside a secured area. Then the wetted slurry is run over grease since the diamonds are not easily wetted they are the only thing that sticks to the grease and is withdrawn.
The grinding mill that you were reading the writing on is a Marcy rod mill delivered to the mine in the 1920s. It uses rods instead of balls as the grinding media. Btw the manufacturer is still around today they are called Metso
All that material and equipment simply abandoned. Amazing. It must have been a lot of engineering and work to build this, then it was just left behind.
Crazy place! When you see such big machinery at the entrance you know you're never going to see the entire tunnel network... Frustrating but that's how it is.
That is really bizarre - rarely is any milling done underground - I mean, why? So much easier to run, access and maintain outside! Makes me want to look it up... And you never reached the actual mining area (at least in this part) - that was a big operation... have fun!
I can only speculate, but having it inside the mine kept it out of the extreme cold and ice in the winter, allowing it to run year round. Bonus of not being in the heat of summer
I wonder if it was a convenience thing. The place is huge... Core was crushed and would've been easier to transport. Plus the washing stage would've removed a certain amount of material. More value in every cart load up to the surface? Those waste ponds make me wonder if this is fairly far from a river and they used an underground water source
Did you have gas detectors? C0, C02, S02, H2S How about hard hat? You two never worked in a mine before. No miner would go into abandoned workings like that.
These are just so cool most urban explorers goto abandoned homes or maybe a building here or there you guys check out the most epic locations it’s amazing!
This was a real holy grail😏 And yes! Most “urban explorers” will go to such places and they copy each other too 😅 (I also get copied for some locations) But I always try to go to unknown places and other cool missions.
When you said it is almost glowing in the dark. That piqued my interest. Wonder if it isvan Abandoned Uranium mine. Uranium mined for the Manhattan Project was mined in Colorado and the North Rim of The Grand Canyon and also Wyoming and other states in the area. Uranium will glow blue under UV light. So if you have a black light and a dosemiter and Geiger counter you should be fine
Really bad idea to go in mines without a helmet but the Video still is amazing! explored several mines in Europe and it's something completly different than the ones in America! Greetings from Luxembourg :)
I'm like 99% sure that vertical pump laying sideways on the ground at 23:23 is a Lewis Pumps water pump. A ton of them were sold to mines throughout the states and world alike from 1883 on. that is a smaller one. The company is still in business Albeit as Weir here in the states. I've worked there for 30 years. My Father worked there from 1971-2004

Cool video and a very exciting place. You inspire me to make videos aswell :). Stay safe ✌🏼✌🏼
Well put sir.
Thanks a million John :)
This was a hell of a comment lol
@@UCeddWhatyeah that was really well said.
There are 2 things that always come to mind when I see places like this:
1) It's truly incredible to think that this was all done in the early to mid 1900s without any of the modern equipment/tools available today.
2) You have to stop and wonder exactly how much money in terms of equipment, supplies, or even just scrap metal gets left behind in places like this.
Why do we let them leave all their trash like this? Irresponsible. Wasteful. Get rich and leave the mess to be a danger to people in the future. I am of the opinion that some of these tunnels are older than they say. That's why we can't hold people accountable. We don't always know who dug them.
Why nobody is turning all that metal into scrap is beyond me???
That's millions of dollars worth of just metal!!!
Would cost more than the metal is worth to rip it out of the installations it was installed for. You also have to factor in the risk. Ripping out the infrastructure that's potentially holding the ceiling above you wouldn't be worth it.
Best episode ever!
This mine is a real time capsule, giant and also mystic in a specific way.
Imagine the hard work back in the past to built up this mine in that massive structure... and nowadays it's still intact!

Amazing location Bob, I can’t believe they processed material in the the mine itself!
Very cool, thanks mate. 😎👍
This is incredible Bob! Appreciate you taking all of us on your journeys.
It's always calms me down to think, that you must have made it back, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the video now!😅😅😅
I've watched a lot of mine exploration video's, but the camera quality on this exploration is next level!! Thx guys!
I like the soundtracks around 7 minutes. You help create such beautiful places. Delicious despair.
Bob, I really enjoy the discussion you both engage each other with in this mine. You both have good synergy as partners in the exploration. Love watching you in your travels from here in Newfoundland, Canada! Stay safe guys!
Thanks for that Curt! Soon we’ll go together to Chile or Argentina for some similar places😇

I live in Colorado and explored quite a few abandoned mines. No idea there was mines that massive. Great video.
I live in Colorado too, do you have any mine suggestions to explore?
It's nuts to think I've lived near cripple creek all my life, and STILL foreigners find the coolest shit I have yet to find... Keep up the good work!
Amazing area to live Kody! I’ve been there also and filmed some gold mines😇
Wow. Never seen a mine this big and elaborate before. Amazing. I wonder how they got all that equipment down there?
You guys deserve more likes, views and subscribers!
It all went in in pieces on carts and probably donkeys in the early yrs
Still, the enormity of the space, combined with all the huge pieces of equipment. Utterly amazing when one thinks about how far back in the mine it was, and difficult it must have been to get all that equipment in there. Wow!🤷♂️🤯

That place goes on forever! Its like a little city under there.
I'm glad to see that there's more videos coming. Truly amazed by what was built below ground. Truly stunned. Thanks for taking your time to make the video.
Thanks Donald! One more episode of this place coming up and then some goldmines.
How on earth do you find this stuff.. I haven't seen this mine on some of the best abandoned mine exploring videos in the U.S.... amazing find.

I lived in Colorado for a few years, never knew this existed! Hope y’all are enjoying the states!
where is it?
Ever find out where it is ? 😊
Ive Seen Hundreds of Mining Videos and this is Easily One of My Favs! Great Job!
Can't even imagine how many years it took to clear out the rocks and to move everything needed in before mining started operating. Looking forward to part 2 and maybe more.
Thanks! Must have been so labour intense. There are 25 more minutes coming and then we visit some gold mines.
What a super cool place guys, very impressive to see and that behind the computer in real life this must be so much more.
Would have love to see that place working I'm a fan of machinery and engineering could you imagine the sound in that place with all those machines running
I live in Colorado,near where you are,glad to see a video of where my father worked,won't tell the local,nice explore guys!
By the way,he was a pipe layer at the 1'200 ft level,very busy as you see!
@@mikewinings4120 would love to hear stories of your father at work
Thanks for checking out, tough work your father had…. And thanks for not shouting the location here, it’s best to keep it low profile😇
Do you think you could privately send me the name of the mine so I could read about this place and how it worked? I’ve been looking for it all over the internet but couldn’t find the mine
The amount of digging that those miners dug is insane
Crazy right?! Especially the big area the tumblers are in.
blasted, not dug

And then there's Schwartzwalder, which was an entirely different beast. I've explored some Uravan Belt mines.
Another great video Bob! Let me know if you guys are still in CO. Would love to meet up with you guys and buy you lunch or dinner before you guys leave Colorado.
Wow Bob this place is amazing! How in the world did they get all the big equipment so deep into the mine??. How did people work in these awfully places! Terrible working conditions!! Great explore Bob!
I wonder too how they got this inside Linda! Wouldn’t want to work underground all day either. Must be a tough job.

As much as I find these abandoned places fascinating, I'm really glad it's someone else going in there.
Well done showing us your exploration of this amazing mine. It is just amazing how much equipment and gear they hauled underground, and then left it all behind. Thank you for sharing this.
As a current mine worker, it amazes me how everthing is so small compared to what we have today
Just amazing how big that is inside. Just think of the man hours to make the hole not to mention getting all that stuff in there and assembled.
Epic exploration!! 😯 I am getting Fallout vibes from this place. Love all the rust and natural decay. Really looking forward to part 2...
so much that can be saved and put in a museum
lolol no
Your ability to rediscover so many great places to explore is amazing! Always a pleasure to tag along with you on your travels! Thanks!
Entrances are now completely blocked with heavy gauge fences.

Chill place. In more than one way. 😇
Wow! Like an old shipwreck out of the water, did you ever find how it got its power? Thanks guys!
This is the coolest mine I ever seen anyone explore. Very different as well.
I love watching you explore my home state! I hope you had a great time out here!
23:51 Anyone else notice, "Jerry sure is smart".
It would be nice if we could get more close ups of the graffiti left by the miners.

I always wondered how smaller diamonds and diamond-dust was mined. Thanks for sharing.
You need to check out exploring abandoned mines in BC, he shoes some incredible mines
Astonishing video quality! The sound is superb! You should listen to it with stereo headphones! Way to go, Bob!
That was fascinating! Thank you for videoing and sharing!
The natural decay is amazing!
The grinding mill that you were reading the writing on is a Marcy rod mill delivered to the mine in the 1920s. It uses rods instead of balls as the grinding media. Btw the manufacturer is still around today they are called Metso
Great explore. It's a shame you don't find a vertical shaft and elevator/skip bucket etc. Surely there has to be one in a mine this size!
Those abandoned mines are amazing !
All that material and equipment simply abandoned. Amazing. It must have been a lot of engineering and work to build this, then it was just left behind.
Just wanted to say thank you for your good work on your videos it's appreciated
instant like 👍 ❤ your channel is killing it, quality content always sets you apart from the rest.
Thanks for the interesting adventure. Not physically able to explore anymore but, can do so virtually with you
Crazy place! When you see such big machinery at the entrance you know you're never going to see the entire tunnel network... Frustrating but that's how it is.
Yup.. we’ve seen a really decent amount of the facilities in there😄 can’t have it all. (And going much deeper inside is not safe)
Can't wait to see the next video, so amazing.
Thanks for checking out !
Nice mine. I really liked the steel shanked boots and hardhats you guys wore. LOL
Blows my mind how they got everything down there! 🤯
Love your videos guys :)
Hi I'm still watching yours
That is really bizarre - rarely is any milling done underground - I mean, why? So much easier to run, access and maintain outside! Makes me want to look it up...
And you never reached the actual mining area (at least in this part) - that was a big operation... have fun!
I can only speculate, but having it inside the mine kept it out of the extreme cold and ice in the winter, allowing it to run year round. Bonus of not being in the heat of summer
Here in Australia there’s a lot of gold & copper mines with the mill built under ground being doing it for years
I wonder if it was a convenience thing. The place is huge... Core was crushed and would've been easier to transport. Plus the washing stage would've removed a certain amount of material. More value in every cart load up to the surface? Those waste ponds make me wonder if this is fairly far from a river and they used an underground water source
im more curious as to why you are so confused
Great video. Hard for me to wrap my mind around how this was all built under ground. Thousand of tons of steel all brought in through tunnels.
Crazy right.. so much work… that’s the reason it’s still sitting there.
Mining is one of most interesting work i have ever been through, especially if you are a mechanic !!!!
Thank you for sharing Bob! Another really awesome explore! Be safe💜
Thanks! Cheers from Wales, United Kingdom. Currently sleeping in an abandoned asylum and yesterday we camped on a fort on sea🤩
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath You're welcome! That sounds like a lot of fun!
It's great when you find a place that hasn't been trashed. Glad you had an oxygen monitor. Stay safe
Did you have gas detectors? C0, C02, S02, H2S
How about hard hat?
You two never worked in a mine before. No miner would go into abandoned workings like that.

Wowza!!!! What an amazing explore. Thank you.
I have been in some cool mines in Colorado before but hands down thats amazing
Thanks for checking out Mike! ☺️
Absolutely breath taking exploration,interesting and eerie at the same time 👍.Must have been incredibly noisy when all the machinery was working.

this is the stuff of nightmares
Im sure I will have one tonight!
Awsome! Bob your a legend. Wish I was exploring with you guys.
existe mais mistérios entre a superfície e os subterrâneos que vossa vã imaginação pode sequer imaginar.
Wouuuu vette video weer ik ben helemaal verbaast dit is een echte tijd capsule woouu love IT 👍👍
Bob you guys have the most amazing videos I love your guy’s content
Imagine sitting at a 1980s desk job inside a mine breathing Marlboros and rock dust all day.
Re-watch - well worth the time expenditure!
Really bad idea to go in mines without a helmet but the Video still is amazing! explored several mines in Europe and it's something completly different than the ones in America!
Greetings from Luxembourg :)
If you knew what we already had to carry…😅It’s not like you park and go inside like most European ones.
I'm like 99% sure that vertical pump laying sideways on the ground at 23:23 is a Lewis Pumps water pump.
