Nice adding in the old black-and-white photograph. Incredible scenic shot at 8:01! Yeah, that shaft at 9:39 looked dangerous. Sometimes further down the hillside there will be a horizontal tunnel that goes in and connects up with such a shaft. I would bet you're correct about that dam and what it's made of. Was this a cinnabar mine?
The main minerals that were extracted were copper (7,352 lbs), lead (6,947 lbs), gold (4,616 troy oz), and silver (1,425 troy oz). So no mercury. Not exactly sure what would've caused the sediment buildup.
@@NitroTheWolf That’s interesting about there being no mercury there. Well, that dam is some kind of leftover material from the processing, I would guess.
