This is just a really feel good documentary. Maybe a little generalized but Australians seem like very easy going, happy people. The mines are so incredible.
Respect to all hard working Australians from England! All the best. Some great music on this episode by the way. Listening in the background. Such as @ 37:15. Thanks for the video.
Did you cycle the 'region of the coast' or like the entire nation's coast line? :o Edit: Either Way, amazing no matter your answer, it's a bloody amazing country, I have to remember more how blessed I am to have been born & live here :)
this is some old material from mining boom that was in Australia about 7 years ago. first mine that they show is Wodgina mine which was iron ore mine and is closed since 2017
Over all the mining boom is considered to be over yet more mines are operating and more people are employed then at the hight of the boom. The difference is that the money they make is still good it's just not as good as it was but the boom still not over really but the government also didn't get the mining tax on which would have made Australia 500billion by now but people think it would have crippled the industry somehow, even though Norway did it with there oil and have made 1.1trillion missed opportunity Australia.
@@tasmanmcmillan1777 No it's not mate, the mining tax never made it thanks to some clever companies talking shit to there imployees. But there was one a smaller one put forward for iron ore and coal something like 30% when they reach over 75million in profits a year. The average person pays about 23%. Edit as a comparison the Norway oil pay 70% to 80%. That's also why they have saved 1.1trillion.
Some said what's happening in China was amazing. I've always thought it worrying. A corrupt criminal regime such as the CCP is never happy with what they have. They inevitably begin to covet their neighbors resources and land. Before you know it they are on the march. China becoming more wealthy only provides a means to their ends.
@The Random Guys {LarY} China is still ( and always be) up to US and the rest of developed countries. Once they decide to cut them off - they are back to ice age
It's not their Documentary. Its like all their content it is someone else's. This Film is almost 20 years old. The first Mine they showed was shut down 5 years ago. The mining industry is decreasing in Australia.
I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Joaquin Cody thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Good doco. I quite fancy working in the mines. I worked offshore in the Northsea for years and also offshore and onshore in NZ. Living in NZ now, but love Aussie. Spent 4 years there during the 90's. Only thing I'd need is my NZ Passport, then I could work in Aussie. I also love the desert. NZ is the opposite. Greenery everywhere here. but no dangerous Snakes here. I'm a sparky, but to be honest, I'd give it up and drive one of those giant trucks. That would be very cool.
That's typical of most Pilbara iron ore sites. You'll see more bad shots than good ones. It's just a waste of drilling time and equipment and a waste of explosives.
WTF?!?!?! .....Atlas Iron - Wodgina Mine Site has been closed for the last 5 years ..i hope they do come back though...great company from what i have heard, Pro-Tip: ... Pardoo Roadhouse Beef Gravy Roll ...a definite must
I lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan where iron ore mining is still happening and in northern Minnesota. I hope that in Australia the miner's do not have air conditioner :)
Gawd! 10 mins in and I had to stop. As a former Karratha resident and surveyor this Atlas advert made me want to vommit. I've surveyed Wodgina Tantalum mine back in the early-mid nineties, long before FIFO stuffed up the joint, when the Pilbara was an unforgiving adventure. Oh! and no mobile phones, internet or dongas with ensuites ;)
yes the area was unforgiving , i went to mt newman in december of 1968 no radio or tv, you worked a ten hour day for 6 days and a 8 hour day on sunday the camp was good, plenty of good food ,i worked their as a plumber one of five plumbers it was a good time there,i left mt newman in october 1969 i have regards for the pilbara and of wa.....
Nice video. Obviously a marketing tool for Atlas Mining, but good on them. I'd work for them in a second. Some of the dumbest comments ever read on TH-cam though. That's saying something. I wish this company all the best.
Not to be too critical of what was a good video. If a little outdated. Just one small note the Capital of Australia is Canberra not Sydney though some would like give the impression that it is.
wonderful attitude, thats something we have lost here in Canada..... doing it for the country! So many here have become ME Me's and are compromised by self interest. The attidude is worth more than the iron ore.
Watched 14 mins. then gave up. Uninteresting programme and lacks substance .. it's all about this one company blowing its own trumpet, (at least for the first 14 mins), .. a video business plan designed to impress is what one could call this programme but falls short if that's the case.
looks a good mining site ,, at the end of December 1968 i went up to mt Newman working as a plumber ,the construction camp was good the work was ok i left newman in mid october 1969 ..
on the other end of the scale we have an iron ore mine in an opposite climate on opposite ends of the globe called Baffinland in Nunavut. Canada. A very large scale mine that also must transport the ore overland to a shipping port where it heads overseas. biggest difference is we have to wear more than a tshirt outside.
You guys need to get some rare earth experts on board as part of your team. You may have some rare earth components or minerals there that are worth hundreds of times more than the iron or you’re getting out of the ground.
Norway has been taxing Oil and energy corporations that extract oil and gas from its offshore wells at 65% plus since the 1960s. The tax proceeds are directed to Norway’s Sovereign fund which can finance projects of national importance. How big is the Norway Sovereign Fund? Well it’s the largest Sovereign fund in the world at about $ 1 Trillion US dollars. Norway has 6 million people which is about 1/4 of Australia’s population. Australia’s mining and energy sectors are almost 90% foreign owned with US corporations owning about 2/3. These multinational corporations pay very little in Australia, are subsidised by the tax payer to the tune of $29 billion annually and barely employs 3% of the Australian workforce. Australia’s policy platform in this sector is effectively giving away one-off natural resources and threatening Australia’s long term prosperity. On this point alone, I don’t know of sillier country in the world
Selling out to the US is one thing but selling out to China is quite another. China could one day just decide they want Australia but that's have to go through the US Navy first. I think country's and corps are being very short sighted to deal with China. China always wants a win win deal and if you don't take it they threaten you with retaliation. Australia is learning this the hard way now. I for one wish they'd never sold China a gram of iron ore and before it's over the whole world will regret it. China thinks their economy is the most powerful on earth and so they can just run over everyone else. Imagine how they'll be when they feel this way about their military, of which they spend more of that wealth on every year.
@@nealramsey4439 their military is already at that level. Has been for more than 70 years. They beat the US in both proxy wars that were fought, by realising the US has a key weakness, they can't take losses. The US navy is a paper tiger, they can't actually put any of their carriers at risk, losing a single one would end the political careers of the top US politicians at the time. Without the carriers, they aren't a threat. And China has the forces needed to sink them, in exchange for moderate sustainable losses. Only reason China doesn't use military force is because they realised they can just use economic force and no one can realistically resist them, they have bought up most countries national debt giving them huge economic power. Western nations governments can't operate without borrowing more money than they make every year, its China who they borrow it from in the form of bonds.
I am passionate about Australia, I hope one day to visit that wonderful country. I would love to visit an iron ore mine in the Pilbara sometime. Congratulations for the videos! Greetings from Asunción, Paraguay!
Oh my God Yes ' Iron Ore is what caused the Industrial Age to boom around 1857 , Iron Ore is what makes it possible for cities to grow up wards and vehicles to be produced on mass and many many of the every day house hold items we use. While Gold is the Boom of safe investment through out the ages , Iron Ore is what makes Industry & building possible so Iron Ore is The Red Gold of Industry. Bravo Hip Hip Hooray To Atlas Inc In Australia & AK Steel in America.
No, they look quite small,Cat 777, 785, 789 maybe, the excavators look small too. There are some massive machines and trucks, in other parts of Australia though. Hunter Valley. Hope this helps.
@AMAN AMANOW I don’t think so … you will need a sponsor to get a work visa … and I can’t imagine a company ( or this company ) would do that. This jobs can be filled with Aussie because they are high paid they don’t need foreigners.
The multiple points on China are interesting... wondering if there was intentional marketing there for any Chinese viewers. Not good or bad.. just curious.
I started my mining career at Mt Tom Price in 1970. I wanted to see all our minerals processing stay in Australia and made into steel products owned by Australia. It didn't happen now China is in the position Australia should and could have been in. Now these people that developed these later mines are proud to be building china's power for money, no Patroits here. And the unions played their part in keeping Australia slaves to China. While Aussie diggers were fighting a war against communist oppression in Vietnam aided by China and Russia up until 1975. Then our governments get into bed with communism, and now we are seeing the result of those bad decisions. Australia could and should have been the greatest country on this planet with our huge and varied resorses, but the governments and unions sold us out to communism.
Yes iron ore is a huge contributor to the Australian economy. And many mining company employees working within the mining sector do make exceptiona amounts ofl money . However that said, as with any work place employees do make sacrifices such as F. I. F O. But for many employees in the mining industry statistics do however indicate high rates of alcohol abuse, and high rates of separation and divorce. Adding to this is also the alarmingly rates of burn out, fatigue ,sleep deprivation , social isolation , anxiety and stress. All of the above are closely linked to high rates of underlying mental ihealth conditions. This is attributed to mining companies not taking full responsibility for employees time management needs and their E.S.W.B. The biggest resource of Australia is quote Australian people and their families. Sure live viable and sustainably from a financial perspective. In closing all mining companies need to start ensuring that all employees have rosters that constitute quality time to share with their partners, and also their families.
Corporate profit's are sent offshore to tax haven's. Forigne corporations export billions of dollars worth of natural resources. Would be nice to see a little more investment back into our society.
@@supfpv im assuming its paying your welfare bill too. Although i congratulate you for over achieving with the rhyming of wish and fish. Keep up the good work cock.
if I had the money I would build a huge suction pipe that just sucks the material to Port. It goes in chambers, each chamber has a huge suction block off and it just moves it. Think of the petrol saved.
You can't pipe solids. Suction doesn't work like that, you'd rapidly destroy the fans needed (abrasion and motor burnout). The concept of vacuum chambers works with liquids and gases (to a degree) as they will naturally try to spread to have even pressure, solids don't do that, they are content to stay were they. Oh and the energy cost would be several hundred times that of the fuel burnt trucking it. Frankly for such a small operation trucks are the best solution, followed by rail. Both options are a few hundred times, if not thousand times more efficient than suction.
@@timmayer8723 In 2019 China imported iron ore from the following countries: $61 Billion from Australia, $22.1 Billion from Brazil, $4.3 billion from South Africa, $2.2 Billion from India, $1.6 Billion from Ukraine, $1.4 Billion from Peru, $1.3 Billion from Iran, $1.2 Billion from Canada, $815.9 Million from Russia, $717.4 Million from Chile, $576.2 Million from Mauritania, $425.4 Million from Mongolia, $351.9 Million from Kazakhstan, $323.4 Million from United Arab Emirates, $223 million from Malaysia. That's $99.8 BILLION USD dollars. You have access to the same internet as me. Free free to look it up & thanks for encouraging me to look it up.

If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined!
its also steel going in to tanks and warships :O oh dear that did not age well..
Does anyone know the grade of the ore?
At one point in the video-fairly early on, I think-a figure of 62.5% was mentioned: quite a decent grade.
Are they stilling mining, as there stock price is almost zero. Like 5 cents a share.

This is where the iron bank came from
The owner loves the Bush
Like hell does he just check out the environmental issues
It’s a pretty special rock lmao
Good history lesson, shows how the others are working.
Australia's biggest export appears to be ... _RUST._
Adam Mangler fancy rust that is probably reinforcing the building your currently in
That's what blast furnaces are all about, turning rust into iron, by tons.
if I had the money I would build a huge suction pipe that just sucks the material to Port. It goes in chambers, each chamber has a huge suction block off and it just moves it. Think of the petrol saved.
You can't pipe solids. Suction doesn't work like that, you'd rapidly destroy the fans needed (abrasion and motor burnout). The concept of vacuum chambers works with liquids and gases (to a degree) as they will naturally try to spread to have even pressure, solids don't do that, they are content to stay were they. Oh and the energy cost would be several hundred times that of the fuel burnt trucking it.
Frankly for such a small operation trucks are the best solution, followed by rail. Both options are a few hundred times, if not thousand times more efficient than suction.
Two Fun Facts: Iron Ore isn't a rock. It's actually a metal, like gold, silver, or copper. Two, my dad actually has a pen pal from Australia
Ore (Fe2O3) is very much a rock that needs to be refined and reduced to become iron and steel.
I wish we could buy work trucks like the Toyotas and Nissans in this film here in America.
i'm willing to bet this is all sold to china lol
THat day at the races looked like an absolute nightmare.
Amused me that the only entertainment of value for an entire town seems to be gambling and drinking. Such a family friendly place....
why r the aborigines suffering if the country is so rich, something is wrong
the aborigines works by keeping the balance of the land.... white people works by striping the resource of the land..... so its no wonder who suffers
China wants that ore
STONEDay China has its own open pit iron mines which they operate at a fraction of first world countries
@@timmayer8723 In 2019 China imported iron ore from the following countries:
$61 Billion from Australia, $22.1 Billion from Brazil, $4.3 billion from South Africa, $2.2 Billion from India, $1.6 Billion from Ukraine, $1.4 Billion from Peru, $1.3 Billion from Iran, $1.2 Billion from Canada, $815.9 Million from Russia, $717.4 Million from Chile, $576.2 Million from Mauritania, $425.4 Million from Mongolia, $351.9 Million from Kazakhstan, $323.4 Million from United Arab Emirates, $223 million from Malaysia.
That's $99.8 BILLION USD dollars.
You have access to the same internet as me. Free free to look it up & thanks for encouraging me to look it up.

Health and safety rep not wearing safety glasses lol
Asian marketing helped I am shure
Great program, however Canada has the world's largest coastline. Australia is ranked 7th.

100.000 parts of Australian Mines Ltd... will be skyrocketing in the next years and I'm rich
