  • How does dirt and rocks turn into gold bars, copper wire or iron pellets? This whole process happens in a mine and in a series of ore processing plants. In this video I’ll walk you through the whole process from the mine face to the shipping port. So let’s get started.

    Thanks for this excellent video. I bought some mines a few years ago, knowing zero about mining. I have little idea about what I am doing and videos like this are very helpful. Currently mining a 1000 tonnes of Lithium per month and 10,000 metric tonnes of Copper.

  • @Pete-xe3il
    @Pete-xe3il หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Fairly well explained and I realize you can't list every detail. But any open pit mine I've worked at always sample the drilled blast hole cuttings since that allows the mines on site lab to test and provide ore / waste percentages in a lot more detail and are much more accurate than the original exploratory drilling can do since those blast holes are spaced a lot tighter and only cover in comparison the short distances of what those blast hole depths are .That lab analysis pinpoints where each of those ore / waste zones are after the blast for the shovel or loader operators. Pit planning and / or geology use a computer program to draw.up those maps, and generally the pit surveyors lay out those zones after each blast with color coded flags on stakes using GPS as a visual location reference for the loading equipment operators. That ore / waste rock ratio wasn't covered or the importance of the waste dumps. Not every load goes to the crusher.

    • @rolandplett
      @rolandplett  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great added detail! The video was intentionally simplified for sure. The whole ore/waste decision making is covered a bit in this video th-cam.com/video/VTg_229h4bk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tdQLZ4TFjEqz03l8 and could definitely use more coverage. I'll think about where I can weave that in, maybe in combination with some of the latest ore sorting tech. Thanks again for your comment.

    • @rolandplett
      @rolandplett  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most of the above ground mining photos and processes that I reference are from copper mining. I start with a reference to Nevada's gold mining region but a lot of my pictures are collected from copper mines I've visited. They usually crush the rock similar to what you're doing and then they use ball mills and bubble seperation to pull out the copper and other products before refining it.

    • @rolandplett
      @rolandplett  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a great question. There's a whole prospecting and site study process that happens before any digging begins. There's no guarantees but they have a detailed visualization of what's under the ground before they start the mine. That could be an interesting video as well.

    • @rolandplett
      @rolandplett  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great question! Iron only gets strong after a lot of processing. When it’s in the rock, it’s in raw form and very small pieces inside the rock. The ball mills break apart the rock so the fine iron ore dust can be separated out with magnets or some other type of separation.

      @denm8991 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Iron is not as strong in its pure form , steels on the other hand get harder with added carbon let’s say up to 4% wt% . Elements such as chromium and nickel help as well in steel and thus resulting in a strong steel . Of course heat treatment plays the most important role for the microstructure of the steel where you can do tricks for ductility or hardness.

    • @rolandplett
      @rolandplett  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      After a prospector / geologist identifies a high probability for a site the company with exploration rights will order a number of drilling samples. I’m not totally sure at what point the land is purchased for a mine. Purchasing land rights, mineral rights and getting authorization to build a mine are all significant work efforts before any amount of digging starts.
