- We find a chimney going down into the earth in our last day in the Yukon. Of course we need to get our climbing gear on and see where it goes. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year everyone. Thanks for watching our videos!
We've explored hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada the United States and Mexico, going places nobody else would dare to go! A New video is produced every Friday, check us out here:
• Newest To Oldest Videos
We do this for two main reasons:
1) Documenting the mines for future generations.
2) Collecting artifacts for our museum.
Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.
Down a narrow chimney we go for a Christmas day adventure. Welcome to our holiday special, grab a drink and join us for some fun in an abandoned mine. Our last mine in the Yukon!
Join us for our weekly adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
This isn't Minecraft but the real deal!
Come visit our Exploring Abandoned Mines Museum in Grand Forks, B.C. Canada.The museum is open to the public, free of charge, donations gratefully accepted. We have a huge assortment of mining artifacts accumulated from abandoned mines, donations, and other collections. We also have operating mining equipment on display.
Museum is located at 5615 Kenmore Rd Grand Forks BC Canada V0H-1H4. Best to phone first 250-444-0183. Come for a visit! www.google.com...
We have a merch site where you can purchase stickers, hats, hoodies, t shirts and mugs. New items being added. www.eammerch.c...

The company I work for installs those intake burners all over the world, well, the cold parts anyway. They are not usually for heating the air in the mine, alot of mines are hot when they are deep under ground. The burner is mainly to keep ice off the fan and stop the raise from freezing and getting blocked with ice. if your wondering how many Btu/h the burner is, they are approximately 1 million btu per foot of burner length. That one looked to be about 12 million btu, relatively small as far as raise burners go lol
How appropriate that the first "I Love You" came out on the Christmas Day video. Y'all are a perfect couple! Happy Holiday's
Same to you!
19:41 "seems" unstable.. And what sounds like a child's voice saying "run"
And at the same point the stain on the wall looks like The Black Dog (omen of death). Sketchy
Thats what they call a direct fired makeup air furnace on that fan. They use them when you can exhaust 100% of the air you're heating. They burn huge amounts of propane.
I see them all the time at mines we do west of Elko Nevada.
Love to watch your shows. My wife's from Barrhead area when we go married 42 years ago.
Hey have u seen the rookie mine explore channel. He is in a plce called cerro gordo here in california. The host of the show is a good guy. I think you should look into his world of exploration. Maybe you can give him a coulpe of pointers. Being you and ur wife r such great people as well.
That pressurized water is a trip 😂
Seasons Greetings to Frank, Sharon and everyone who follows the channel. Hoping for a healthy and wide travelled New Year.
What a year its been but EAM has continued to put out an excellent episode every single week🤘. Thank you both Sharon and Frank you're absolute troopers. There's a first for everything - entering a mine through the vent pipe!!. Love that you respect each others’ decisions, Sharon would've been waist deep. Appreciate the ad’VENT’ure😁, and your explore of all accessible areas. How cool was the fountain of water coming out of that pipe. Some nice colour bands in the rock too. It may have been more modern but still really interesting to see. Top photographs Sharon❤️. Take care, be safe. 🎄❤️🎅
Yes it has been an exciting year to say the least! I am glad that we were able to bring you along.
Yall make such a GREAT couple. You totally complement each other.
LOL@“Package is still dry eh”. 🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Having a heater on the air intake is a good idea since getting air well below zero blown in the mine would be a massive pain in the ass with all your equipment freezing up not to mention the miners as well.
If the mine's wet that'll help dry it too. Subzero air will have next to no water in it at all, and the warmer you get it the more water vapor it'll take up. Just have to be careful to not load up with vapor when it's too warm or it'll saturate and dump it as it cools off further on, make that section absolutely miserable.
That would explain earlier in the vid how Frank picked up some pieces and was talking about looking like permafrost. Maybe as they got further digging the mine that’s what they stumbled on so gently heating up the air in the shaft would’ve allowed it to soften without a collapse. None the less, as nice and neat that the mine is, humid air would’ve made it hard to breath
I think all this waters effecting the tin mans metal suit. Squeak squeak squeak squeak lol
30:49 if that had been a clump of vg, you would have known it by the tightening of your jewels Frank . the good stuff is unmistakable .. in mine lights it looks like a deep gold butter. we took to calling it butter we saw it so often . that was a well laid out and worked mine . pretty decent ground . wouldn't have minded working there .
Lol@ minimal headroom, I like that one Frank
“Seems like a touch too much” I can hear Brian Johnson now 😂🤘
That was sung by Bon Scott not Brian Johnson.
Your experience shows, as most of us would hesitate to enter some of the sketchy area in old mines.
Merry Christmas yall. You know it's a serious relationship when ya tell her thank you for letting you go explorin in a mine. Yall go great together. Stay safe out there
Will do
The boy is smitten, asking permission & giving thanx when he gets it. LoL. U know I'm just razzin' ya. It simply shows u've mutual respect for one another's feelings, which can lay foundation for something lasting. Hardcore lovebirds - I can dig it.
We used go in a old flooded mine that was cold in the summer . wetsuits and waders ! down away from it was a old store with a pipe in a spring that folks stopped by and got spring water from it,,,One of our group saw the water get muddy when we were in there. it was a core drill pipe that hit the tunnel we were in,,, it was the pipe we tripped on each time we went in . we dug out the entrance with a small trackhoe and let the water out and that shut of the spring LOL ! Damn the locals were mad at us !! so they filled it back in 2 feet to hold water and get the spring running again . You never know what was left in a mine. Merry Christmas Frank and Sharon !!!!!
merry charismas Frank and Sharon
Great mine with a shit ton more to see . Thank you Frank and Sharon , merry Christmas to you both
Not a muddy mine, but spacious and organized. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the new years episodes.
Thanks for watching!
That clip around 7 min without audio had me rolling!!! It was Red Green narrating stories of his friends in black and white. Thank you for that touch of Canada frank, it took me back.
Merry Christmas. Frank and Sharon
Thanks, Frank and Sharon! Bigger mine than it looked, and most of the stopes were mostly hidden (they HAD to have core drilled and blocked out the ore bodies before driving the adits and haulage; the mine was just too well laid out!). Good explore, and very interesting access! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, ya crazy canucks!❤️👍
Good stuff. Nice Video Nice pictures. Thanks
You guys are the best! Merry Christmas Sharon and Frank!
Love your videos. Sharron is so cute. You’re a lucky guy.
Merry Christmas Frank and Sharon :) Wow, that stope next to the rails going down looked dramatic with the water going down it. A suitably wet mine, almost made me feel at home, I approve! ;)
Happy holidays!
Wow...I never have anxiety till I watch some of these mine explorations!
You were freezing cold but still had time to quote the greatest band in all the land !

Hello Frank and Sharon enjoyed watching A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Take Care!
Same to you!
Hi Frank & Sharon, another interesting explore into the darkness, this was a very cool one actually with various things left behind. I don't blame Sharon, I wouldn't have gone in that cold water either, a very interesting and different entrance into it, I take it that was for the air distribution that you climbed down as you said the portal was plugged shut. It has been another fantastic year for exploring mines, I really liked the Yukon series as it was interesting to see the different methods used. Thank you both for all of the time you have taken and sheer hard work, not to mention bravery on a few of the explores, I hope next year is going to be an awesome year for you both and for us viewers too, much love to you both. xx 🙏💖🍺🦌🎄
We had a lot of fun in the Yukon. Thanks for your support Sue. I hope you have a happy New Year!
@@exploringabandonedmines Thank you both. xx💖
Frank would be a good rescuer.
Merry Christmas 🎄
I was following an explorer in a hip-deep water flooded
limestone borehole. Big passage. Lots of high leads.
I kept looking around. Heard an odd sound. Turned to
find Mr. Saki had vanished. Then he broke surface,
flailing about, so I grabbed an arm and pulled. Our
muddy water had hidden a pit. Our exit was more
cautious. We'd return with an inflated raft and poles
to push our ride .
I love watch your videos Frank and Sharon, from all the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿😍 thank you for all your efforts aye! Kia Kaha to you both.
Our pleasure!
another great explore Sharon/Frank Merry xmas to you both and all the subscribers, looking forward to too 2021 for more great explores keep em coming guys. oh!! and a happy new year to all
Same to you!
Merry Christmas Frank and Sharon, I don't blame Sharon for deciding not to get in too deep there. It looks like you saved the best till last, that was a really huge and well laid out mine. Thanks for sharing all these great explores. Happy New Year, God Bless and stay safe.

You are very welcome
Merry Christmas and happy new years from BC Canada
From the entry, you couldn't tell how immense this mine was. Only guess work and the outside deductions of piled rocks. From all the signs, how possible would it take to make this an open pit mine. Merry Christmas to the both of you.
Merry Christmas Sharon and Frank!
Merry Christmas
