- The Story Of The Incredible Abandoned Gold Mine On The Mountain Side. Explore # 106
B.C Canada
This was my first stealth camping experience. Getting here was extremely challenging. After meeting up with my exploring friends from B.C. (Josh, Nikki and Lucas) We started the explore by 4x4ing to our parking spot. Once there we hiked up the mountain for about 1 hour. Once at the entrance of Mascot Mine we had to now walk down hundreds of stairs.
The Mascot Gold Mine was in operation from 1936 to 1949. 7.1 tones of gold was extracted from the mascot mine. That is over 400 million dollars in today's market.
130 men worked the Mascot Gold Mine. Each man made approx $4.75 per day. Many of the men actually lived and passed away at the mine site.
After shutting down in 1949 the site was abandoned for many years after. In the 1990s, the insurers for the mascot mine property was concerned that visitors to the site could lodge liability claims for personal injuries. They wanted the mascot mine to be burnt down. This plan did not go through thankfully. In 1995 the Upper Similkameen Indian band re-roofed several buildings to help preserve them. The province then bought the mine site for $740,000. They also fixed and stabilized the structures over the following years. In 2003 the province provided $300,000 to retrofit the site for tourism. The wooden structures included former dormitories, a cookhouse and machine sheds. In 2004 the mascot mine site opened for tours. It later closed for tours in 2017. The buildings clearly needed more repairs and attention for the structures to last. In 2021 The province gave a grant of $800,000 and they plan to reopen for tours in 2023 after many repairs and upgrades have been completed.

About me:
I have been exploring abandoned places since I was a child and now I would like to film the explores and share the videos with you.
My father took me to my first abandoned house when I was 7 years old. I remember going into the house and a old farmer came in and told us "we better watch out as the floors are all rotten and unsafe". Ever since that day I was hooked on exploring abandoned places.
If you have a location you would like to share with me or want me to explore for you please send me an email at abandonedurbexcanada@hotmail.com and I will give you full credit for the share in the description and during the video if you choose.

It was a completely different world back then to built a town on the side of a mountain. I'm really glad they didn't destroy that history.
My Ancestors in the late 1800's early1900's mind silver. This is cool Brent! Thanks!🌟👍☺
To think about the vast amount of planning and work just to make this place exist in 1930s. It’s incredible. Thanks for the great explore once again
You’re really upping your game, Brent. This is next level stuff. Thanks for doing this…some of us are senior citizens who would never be able to make this trip. Congratulations on reaching 100 subscribers. Make sure you show us the plaque!
Hi, he showed it on his instagram 🙂

Thank you!
Just imagine what all the materials used and the way they transported it to location and time to build this even the model of the buildings and mine was fascinating. Thanks Brent for the tour and congratulations on the 100,000. I would like to see more of this of what it looks like in about 5 years or more.
Congratulations on your 100K. Imagine the back breaking work that went into the construction of that place,incredible. Thanks for sharing.

So cool to see this. I remember being a little girl and seeing this site up in the hills. Back in the sixties there were a lot more buildings standing. I live an hour and a half from this town..
That's so Awesome Brent! Congratulations 🙂
Thank you!
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada Your Welcome!
Could not have asked for a better explore of this old mine, buildings and surroundings. Just amazing to think that these structures are still standing, and those steps l👀ked like a work out for sure!! The vistas from every angle of the mountain are just stunning! The rats served their purpose in the mines and are still living there LOL. So glad you were able to see /experience it in person and took your time filming and recording with the drone to share with us.

Congratulations 🍾🥂⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you!
@@AbandonedUrbexCanada you're welcome my friend
I live about 30 minutes from here, and touring the mines was a common grade school field trip. Super cool to see it modern day!
This was out of this world. I felt I was beside you, and could almost smell all that wood and the dust under the hot sun. What an amazing explore. Thank you Brent.😀
This is unreal....it's just unreal. Can you imagine what went into building this setup? And what technology existed when this was setup. It's just amazing. And your shots in this are just incredible. I hope you got lots of standalone pictures here, because I'm sure lots of them could make it into a BC tourism magazine. I also subbed to Dame Untamed, because she has a lot of cool stuff like you do. Thanks for this video, it's just incredible.
Yay Brent! 100 k! You deserve it! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Robin! 😁
Only 2 minutes in but this is already incredible!🤩
Wow. Nice explore Brent!
12 out of 10. If you don’t count the rats.
3 of them even brought hammocks. 😂
Thank you 🙏
it is a sterling castle or is it stirling castle ? i live near inverness scotland.. aye i do.. x
What a great explore...what a way to celebrate 100k..thanks Brent for keeping history alive
Man I would be scared those buildings would just crumble and fall down the mountain 🏔️
Thanks for another awesome explore and congratulations! You deserve it.
Thank you!
Abandoned Urbex Canada thanks Brent for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it about this video about The Incredible Abandoned Gold Mine On The Mountain Side. Explore # 106 and thanks and God Bless.
Incredible explore...
Wow what a place.Those carts are called Ore Carts.amazing buildings.👍❤️🇺🇸
omg Brent! Thank you so much for taking us all here! It was worth it for the views alone but seeing all the rest...just amazing!
Me encanta los paisajes.saludos.desde argentina.😘🇦🇷
What an AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Thank you so much!!!! The amount of work that went into building this place is staggering to think about. The drone footage was fantastic as well👍
I worked in beautiful places in Alaska like this . A person really don’t know how beautiful it is until they don’t work in areas like this until you move on to another place .. how videos like this reminds you what you had and it’s gone from your everyday work place
I was there around 15 years or so back when they were running tours. When we were down below in Hedley chatting with a guy he was using a mirror to signal to someone up at the Mascot location. There used to be a beautiful little church nearby on First Nations territory - it couldn't help but catch your eye as you drove past. Unfortunately it was burned down last year.
Hey Brent, congrats on the milestone. This one was a great explore. Those men were incredible. Living and working inside a mountain. I have nothing but respect for those brave souls.
Wow!!! That place is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you!!
I absolutely loved this video. Almost like being there with you. I just can’t get over it! You did a great job showing the view and all the hardships those guys lived through. Thanks you so much.
Holy smokes , what a amazing place , thanks for sharing , greetings from New Zealand , loved this 🙂
I'm disabled and have to do my urbexing vicariously through you and others like you. Thank you and congrats on the milestone!
Did you have trouble breathing so high up?
Brent, again, award winning camera work, wow! Even tho you had all those people with you, you made it look like you were alone. Awesome, dude!
Which job would you like if you were a miner? I think if I had to choose, I’d be a driller 😂. Thank you for taking me along this amazing adventure Brent. 👍😊
WOW What an amazing explore. I think it was the best one so far. Very interesting. Loved it Brent. Thank you for sharing this explore. Doris 🇦🇺🦘
Wow, stunning views and a tremendous historical explore. Congratulations on 100K subscribers!
Thank you!
The View 😱 WOW 😍 I love your video 🙌 Thank you for sharing your Wonderfull Exploration 🙏
And sorry for my english i'm french Canadian from Quebec 🤣
I would absolutely LOVE to live up there!!!!!! Gorgeous views and away from EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!
Great explore! I’m surprised there aren’t more likes. Congratulations on the 100k, it is well deserved.
Fantastic Brent. Wow! What an incredible and stunning location. Those views are breathtaking. Loved the hammocks. Eww, rats, yuck. So glad the old mines are still intact. Awesome Brent, really cool.
Thank you Claire😁
What a beautiful place and great video.
Also, congratulations on the 100k subscribers!
what an amazing video,, thank you for showing this,, and Congratulations on 100,000 thanks again
This video was phenomenal. Good job Brent!! IMO, you are within the top 4 or 5 explorers on TH-cam. Very detailed video shooting and comentary. Please keep the videos coming!! ❤️💯
Hey thank you! 🫡
Another totally awesome tour, Brent. Thank you for taking us along. I've always wanted to go to Mascot but never seemed to find the time as life got in the way. I am planning to go back to Bralorne later this month for a visit. Gee, it's been almost 30 years since my last visit there. Can't wait.
Congratulations Brent! 🎉 Nice to see you back exploring in Beautiful British Columbia 🤩
That place os absolutely amazing. Gorgeous view of our Canadian Mountains. 😮😮❤
Beautiful scenery, Congratulations on your 100 subscribers, thank you for sharing
22:25 the photo of the "honey box" made me laugh out loud because it has nothing to do with actual honey. On level ground they had a "honey wagon," which was used to transport your sewage to a disposal location. 🤣
49:47 that appears to be shaker tables. The ore would be poured into them, then the vibrators set into motion, and it would filter out the smaller bits.
Thanks so much for taking me on this absolutely incredible explore I never got to do myself. Many years ago, while driving through Hedley, I noticed those buildings way up on the mountain. I very much wanted to explore, but it was mid-winter and I was travelling alone, so I couldn't go up. The mine remained very much on my mind, but I never had the opportunity to return. Now I'm old and disabled, and physically unable to make that climb. Now, through your eyes, I finally got to see the place. Many, many thanks. 🥰
so beautiful. thank you for sharing
Thanks for show us this amazing place.
Incredible!!! Thank you!
What an awesome explore.. the scenery is breathtaking.. imagine how hard the work was… backbreaking I bet.. thanks for your amazing video!!!
Thanks for taking me along on a history lesson and explore.
Now it's time to search the internet about this place.
Wonderful ..very lucky to see this place still intact.
What a terrific experience! Thanks for allowing us to share your trip!
First and foremost 🍾🎉Congrats on 100k subs🎉🍾. Thats an acheivement. So many words for this one. This was an incredible adventure. Thanks for taking us through the history of this mine. You did go on a very hot day. But my question would be where did you guys go for bathroom duties. Hehe. Great job. Come to my province of Alberta next. Just an idea.
Building a small cottage TODAY on a side of embankment is difficult, with the equipment we have now. Imagine the backbreaking labor building this small community here on this rock. To me it’s a simply amazing accomplishment, almost unbelievable. What beautiful place.
fascinating and beautiful! Thanks for the adventure. :)
Thank you for the video it’s awesome having people like you taking videos and keeping the history alive. I just hope that no one tags or destroys the buildings.
Wow, what a beautiful view. Great explore.
Always cool exploring. Love your video’s. Thanks for the adventure.
Truly an amazing place , thank you for taking us with you . I have always been fascinated by this mine and will probably never get there myself . Again thank you !
Wow, I want to visit this. Im glad they restored it!
Amazing totally awesome!!!!!The stone model of town was so neat
What a great adventure! Loved it
Imagine being there during an epic thunder and lightning storm with gale force winds blowing torrential rain with hail on those buildings. Good luck trying to get some sleep!
One word. AMAZING!
Thanks for the Adventure Brent. 👌🏼 👍🏼
Incredible location. That scale model in the ‘museum’ is amazing.
I could so live here and wake up to this beautiful view every morning except for the rats. Can you imagine building on this site, not to mention dragging everything up to the mine?
That's gotta be the best view ever ,,, beautiful,,
That is a beautiful area in canada! Thank you for taking us with you!
What a treat getting ready to watch
WOW!!! This was amazing. I would of loved to go there, but know I never will due to being disabled. I have imagined I was with you. So thank you for taking me on a journey of a life time. I had never heard of this place , but it was so magical and so amazing to have followed you on this journey as well. Also CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING 10K SUBS you deserved it as you take us to places I cannot go. Just take care and stay safe and god bless.
Wow, love this place.
You are so blessed‼️
Congratulations on 100000 subscribers, well deserved. Awesome explore. Thank you for taking us with you.
Btw, thank you Brent, in retelling and putting a voice to our old miners and to our Canadian working history.
I ❤❤❤ this. Wish there was a longer version. Makes me dream 'bout growin up in Sacto Valley, Ca.
Wow, this place is so amazing.
Simply awesome.
Absolutely LOVE this video‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯💯💯
Watching from Scotland. What an amazing site, scenery (reminds me a bit of our highlands) and video, thank you for having the patience when exploring to stop and take time at the old tour boards that described each section. There's simply too much for me to comment on, other than to say you have to admit, you would have freaked out more than a little bit if a voice had say 'hello?' back at you on the old phone! Congrats on the 100k subs and thanks again for this amazing video.
Absolutely spectacular
great to see this historic place! we went back to BC this summer and were so happy that there were no fires, tent caterpillars or pine beetles killing everything. The similkameen is not one of my native stomping grounds so this was really nice to watch.
Fantastic video, thank you so much ❤️❤️
Fantastic place & tour. Congrats!
Good explore. Nice views. Too many stairs lol. I'm afraid of heights so couldn't go there. Looks so steep. Congrats on getting 100,000 subscribers
Congratulations Brent on the 100,000. What a breathtaking adventure.
