  • Hello everyone and welcome back to another video!
    In this episode, we head back to the Mascot Gold Mine to explore deeper into the mountain. This mine exploration was definitely one of our more challenging adventures, as this mine has over 67 kilometres of tunnels. We spent a few hours exploring and didn’t even put a dent in it. With the cold temperatures effecting our flashlights and camera gear, we had to end our explore sooner than expected, but we’ll be back! If you’re Interested in seeing the tour of the buildings, here is a link to our first trip to this amazing place:
    • Mascot Mine | Hedley B...
    Duncan Woods, described as a down and out prospector, arrived to Nickel Plate Mountain to find out that he was once again late for the party as the ground in the area had already been staked up. Not the kind to easily give up, looking at maps he noticed a small 40 or so acre sliver of ground that hadn’t been claimed. Calling it the Mascot, the terrain was very steep and the work was hard, but Duncan kept looking for his gold. In 1904, the Daly Reduction Company, which owned the claims surrounding Woods’ and operated the Nickel Plate Mine, discovered that their main ore body angled into Duncan’s claim and the superintendent Jones, approached him to purchase it. No one knows what was said, but Duncan refused to ever sell if Jones was involved. Refusing to sell to his rivals, in 1933 Duncan sold the Mascot to a group of investors from Vancouver and they started the Hedley Mascot Gold Mine. The tramway was constructed, and was 4700 feet in length, ran at an angle of about 40 degrees and was one of the largest in the world. The majority of production took place between 1936 and 1949 producing over 7 tones of gold valuing an astonishing $130 million dollars today.

    I was a miner for 43 years in Northern Ontario and we used Koehler Wheat lights for our head lamps, many mines do to this day, anyways the last over 12 hours, personally I would a dedicated miner's head lamp as my primary light source when doing exploration IMO. Great video I really enjoyed it as I always wanted to know about this particular mine, thanks!

      Hello Fredrick, glad you enjoyed seeing this one. We have a few videos of this mine, including one of us exploring all of the buildings if you’re interested! Just curious, how many lumens would a miners headlamp be? With all of our flashlights and our headlamps, we run around 10,000 lumens and sometimes it’s still not enough depending on the size lol We’re actually from Ontario too. Glad you made it out each day on the job. Mining is such a risky and unpredictable job!

    I worked as a first aid attendant at that mine in the early 80's, when they were re-exploring to see if there was more gold to be found. On a day off I scrambled down the slope (there were no stairs then and the whole place was in shambles) I only went a little way into a shaft because I had no flashlight. I drove the steep, windy road up regularly, from the Hedley side, until nearly Christmas. When it was too snowy, I would come around the Mt Apex way.

    I see the rope is still in there that we left at the raise. If you go to the left at the top of the rope that is where the bad air is. If you would have stayed to the right instead of going out the exit you would have found the coolest part of the mine where the two inclined shafts start. One going up the the pit and the other down 600 feet as well as the hoist room!

    In August 1980 I drove with my father and his friend up the Coquihalla Valley, camping and exploring. We drove up to the Mascot Mine and spent hours looking at every building and piece of gear that was there. We walked about 20 feet into the mine but were not equipped to go deeper. Now I have seen what we missed, and I want to have another go. Thank-you for the great video. Did I see an empty can of Extra Old Stock sitting in that room? That's something else I haven't seen in a long, long time. Also, thank-you for your footage of the aftermath of the storms. Take good care.

    Along the old route 666 between Shiprock and Gallup, NM (only a few miles south of Shiprock as I recall) as there is a dirt road that goes off towards the mountains. Following that road takes you up into the mountains along an old road bed. There are rock falls and trees growing up in it but if you can get to the end you will find a HUGE mine on the back side of the mountain at the top. The mine goes through the mountain and exits the other side in several places. There are old cars and equipment, even a case of unexploded dynamite (don't touch it... sweating badly) and lots of infrastructure. The wind howls through the tunnels and there are lots of them. In the 1970s my father, a friend and I explored this place. I found out many years later that it is one of the major mines used to mine Uranium for the first atomic bombs. If you look off across the valley from the entrance you will see a large concrete slab surrounded by a fence. That is where they buried the radioactive debris from all the activity.

    According to all the vids I've seen, after reading over a hundred magazine articles about gold mines....
    1) if you can see quartz vanes then there is still gold, as gold got trapped by the quartz ( which I understand to be as the Earth formed ) .
    2) Also the yellow, tannish patches on the walls where iron deposits have corroded & drizzled down ( as Earth's gravity pulls at everything )...the iron corrossion is interacting with gold deposits which causes the yellow patches with rusty reddish hues.
    Whether or not its worth excavating commercially is another consideration.

    • @AdventuresRUs
      @AdventuresRUs  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, lots of sulphides in there and new material is exposed each time the back of the mine fails. Unfortunately there are too many easy ways to make money these days and the cost of operation on mine sites is just not economical anymore. Open pit mining operations seem to be more common these days though.

    Before the open pit mine one could drive very close to Upper Mascot Mine and venture deep into the mine.
    On some of the dynamite sheds you were looking at are my initials w/ a date.
    It's the only place that in one walk up 9 Mile Creek my then fiancé, 6 youth and myself saw a Mountain Goat, a rattle snake with a toad in its mouth swimming its way down the creek and finally being stocked by a cougar. We escaped the cougar by making our way through deep water and up the West side of the river Bank to the shelf above.
