    Oh my gosh--your channel is incredible! Great content, editing, and presentation! I was surprised to see how undiscovered your channel is. Commenting and subscribing for the algorithm!

    Love your videos and I truly appreciate your content! They are on point, insightful and well edited. Please keep em coming.
    I hope you will get more subscribers... but mining is probably a too narrow niche. If you make it a bit more economic focused it might gain a more broader appeal.
    I would love it if you made videos about Chilean mining industry as well as the success and failure mining stories in Africa.

    would you consider doing a video on uranium mining?

    • @MiningTheWorldYT
      @MiningTheWorldYT  Год назад +2

      Definitely. It's not in the near-term pipeline of videos, but it's an important commodity (especially given the potential growth in nuclear power) so I'll certainly touch on it at some stage. Any particular angle of interest or just a general interest in uranium?

      @@MiningTheWorldYT i'm not very knowledgeable on mining and this is sorta a new interest. im curious about how its such a useful resource but also i imagine dangerous to work with and be exposed to as a miner. along with rare earths which i've read aren't as rare as we once thought - that the processing and refining currently is very dangerous to our health and if there are current or future ways similar with radiation that refining can be safer? so far unless i've gotten the wrong idea, it seems these resources would be easier to get larger quantities of if it weren't for the health risks with current extraction and refining.

    • @MiningTheWorldYT

      You're certainly right about mining's health and safety risks. As a heavy industry, it poses risks such as noxious gases (particularly underground), a lot of noise and dust, and also the risks that come from having people work around huge trucks and equipment - and sadly this still sometimes results in deaths. You're also correct that uranium and in some cases rare earths (depends on the exact makeup of the deposit) pose higher risk due to radioactivity.
      The good news is mining has become and is continuing to become safer (not 100% but a lot better than in the past) due to more spending on safety which in itself has resulted partly from public pressure, better technologies and better processes. For example, modern ventilation has cleaned up underground mines dramatically, and autonomous trucks are increasingly seeing companies upskill and move employees out of the mine and into remote operations centres.
      So I guess what I'd say is the reputation for being a dangerous business is justified, but things are a lot better than in the past... and that's a good thing for all of us, because these are essential and often irreplaceable resources.
      One last thing I would add: I don't think the health risks make it difficult to extract and refine, as there are solutions to that, and there's also an acceptance by mine employees of the risks (same as with other high-risk industries).
      However the environmental risks do make it harder for mining companies to secure "social licence" from local communities, which has raised awareness in the sector about reducing environmental impact.

      If you're interested in rare earths, I recetly published a video on the topic:

    the information is very good and the video editing is top notch, the only setback is the backround noise and ecou of your voice and the cadence , if you have a slower calmer pase , but with the same pasion it would make your videos seem very profesional . i think if you make these couple of tweaks it would greatly improve your chances of going viral, at least thats my opinion. good luck to you, super great info

    I trully wonder how shitty was to be a geologist who had to deliver the news that the deposit is not as big as expected... in the purge era soviet union, where not delivering a quota or being late to work could easily land you on a gulag

    If you look at the expansion map you should realize that it is not the expansion of the "RuZZian Empire"--but the expansion of the Muscovian Empire!---Its name was changed to Rossiya only in 1721 by Peter. A large part of Muscovy's expansion had already occurred by then!---Stop the fake name time-warp!

    If you need our minerals, you call us and make an order. It's business, not polytics
    So, what do you need?

      its more of an informative video, i don't think that every video about russia that pops up online is propaganda
