Reminds me of my first days as a greenhorn UG learning the process, 1974 to today technology sure has come a long way. Miss them INCO days. Thanks for the video!
This is a nice movie about Ontario mining from a bygone era (but really not that long ago). I managed to find other vintage Ontario geology movies and have put them up for all to enjoy - this is all nonprofit. There is a playlist Geology (I think) on this channel where you could filter the geology films from the rest.
I remember in the 90s when there was a lot of helicopters flying all over Sudbury with those magnetometers flying under them. A few small mines have opened up since. Canada Nickel has plans to build world's second largest nickel mine in Timmins. All the exploration of the past 40yrs is starting to pan out. There will be generations of new miners in the North for a long time to come. Sadly, most of the men in this vid as miners are most likely all dead or dealing with serious health issues from years of breathing in dust and other debris from being in the mines for many years. Technology, equipment, methods of mining have improved over the years, but one thing stays the same, sore backs, hard workers in harsh conditions and the consistent fight with big companies for workers rights and benefits.
