- This video will take you step-by-step through Eagle's mining process. In addition, the video explains the techniques we use to find nickel and copper.
About us:
Eagle Mine is a nickel-copper mine located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The underground mine is expected to produce 360 million pounds of nickel, 295 million pounds of copper and small amounts of other metals over its estimated eight year mine life. Eagle Mine is owned and operated by Lundin Mining Corporation.
Great video!
how long each step needed from boring till nickel ready to sell?
Great video.
this is a very good and informative video. i know a lot more on how mining works. yet i have one question if you find any other minerals what do you do with them. do leave them or do you take it and do something with it.
I watched this with my 6 year old son in the UK - and he was fascinated. Thank you. He did however, have one question - how did the trucks get to the lower level after the deployment of explosives?
Well, underground mining. From what I learned, it is called stoping. These trucks designed for underground mining pass through shafts, adits and tunnels. These terms have different meanings in mining though they seemed to be similar.
the blasted rock would be mucked out, and then the ground is sloped, and the whole process repeats again
exactly! that is a good question of your little son.
Nice and very informative video, I am working as exploration Geologist in Nickel project in African Country-Uganda
Did you have a work for me I'm from Egypt and just graduated from mining and petroleum engineering at alazher university
Something interesting to see after a long time! Useful for miners like us!
Thanks from a miner from Pakistan!
wow thanks this was so helpful and interesting you just made my homework fun for once!
it's a great video, let me know mine in a glimpse.
I'm an expert at mining. I found a tonne of diamond the other day within like 20 minutes.
in minecraft lmao
@@svenmoon3248 Lol, exactly!
What!
Because you are awesome!
imagine if your house was over a mineshaft full of copper and nickel
You would know that you would be sitting on cement and fill after Eagle mine got through with it.
H bro whats animation soft?
nice and informative video
before they even mine it,, How, and why, is the copper particles mixed in with the nickel particles? How did it form within the Earth crust?
Good day
I am writing on behalf of Dzinge Productions, we are shooting children's education programme titled The EPIC Hangout. One of our topic deals Mining. Can I request permission to use your footage as part of the show while teaching educating the kids about mining. Please may I have your contact details.
Nickel Copper and Gold... How Much Gold you Guys find? and where does it Go?
theyres no gold inn the usa lmao
@@thadramallama how dumb are kpop stans
Can i assume that this is exactly how other minerals are also processed?
Nope.
So you don't throw buckets full of water in a cave, jump into it and throw torches everywhere?
We use drones with sensors these days to find minerals.
Love the video
ur a bot
what is that mining process called?
Sulfide mining and its dangerous
mining
@@John-wx3zn lmao
Where does the waste material go?
3:45
Driving mine truck would be fun
No offence, but that's nothing compared to what the Springhill coal mine was in the 1950's. It's slope was 14,200 feet long, with a vertical depth of 4,000 feet. At the time, it was the deepest coal mine in North America. Unfortunately, it was closed down due to some major disasters.
+Aidan Jackson-Kelso I mean, when you're a mining engineer the things you argue about are pretty thin.
";YO, you hear the Arlingon miners only have a 12 foot diameter tunnel? SO 1980's..."
me too
Isn't eagle mine in Canada not the US?
Can we our only home planet survive another economy super power?
and I thought I knew mining by minecraft
WHERE IS THE SMELTING AND REFINING PART?
THAT'S THE INTERESTING PART!

At an undisclosed location.
The smelting and further processing is done in Canada.
Canadian National Railroad transports ore from Ishpeming Mi to Sualt Saint Marie Ontario.
amazing.
Very informative and visually appealing overall, but unfortunately the thing I'll never forget is the dinosaur from 1 billion years ago. Maybe in a sequel, Raquel Welch could be riding it? (Sorry, I couldn't help my snarky self.)
Imagine your house was over 2000000 skeletons holding gold, copper, and nickel lol.
so our ancestors were wrong to find it without any special equipment and helicopters ?
Тану Памир modern world needs billions of times more ore.
Because they find it more efficiently and pinpoint exactly and size of ore body.
tl;dr:
1) dig
2) crush
3) bubbles
4) dry
5) smelt
they are actually soccer ball sized bud
you fail to mention the toxic chemicals used in your magical air bubble tanks...
Well what kind of chemicals??? The state of Michigan has very strict mining laws.
dis was for school.
yes, it was some of my school today.
Dear United States. Please use metric system.

Good! But, you forgot to mention the contamination and damage mining does to the ecosystem.
Yes! I’m so glad people like you don’t use phones or wear clothes or drive a car or eat food or do anything else to stick it to those evil miners who make your meaningless pathetic life possible!
What damage? Michigan passed some strictest sulfide mining law's aimed at Eagle Mine.
Those sulfide mining law's are being followed to the letter and then some!!! My son works there tells me all the procedures they have to follow.
I'm willing to bet you are one Those people who enjoy all the modern conveniences life has to offer.
You fell so strong about the environment then unplug and go off grid then.
is this how Minecraft works
Ira easier in Minecraft
00:50 no dinosaure at this date ( 1'000'000'000 years ago) is not serious !!!
2:55
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
bubble
P
can i get ur email? i wanna ask something about my project
that was not accurate buddy
You fuckin idiots ruined a pristine wilderness for a dollar and everyone reading this doesn't even know that a foreign entity owns this company and they won't tell you that sulfide mining is dangerous ....makes me wanna puke
@Emily Sunay have you seen the before and after effects? I have and it makes me curse
Why isn't everything DEAD around the White Pine Mine???
Go ahead and puke your guts out.
And another thing been buy that mine many times and it's still pristine.
Why do trucks have to drive 67 miles one way from Eagle to the Humboldt grinding plant?
Oh yeah the eco freaks killed county road 595, cutting the trip to 21 miles ONE WAY.
Gee that's lot of extra diesel fuel and exhaust, way to go!!!
Let's not forget the extra highway traffic.
Thanks. Enemies of EVs keep posting photos of kids with sticks mining for nickel or lithium.
Because EV Cars suck.
bruh Minecraft irl won't be good for the environment #savetheturtles
