I work as an engineer in a lead and zinc underground mine in Serbia. For example, we use a hand operated drill for the face. Explosives are placed manually, and activated from a hundred meters away. Our loaders and haul trucks break down on regular basis. After watching this video, I think working in an environment such as this is a dream job. This type of operation is on a whole new level. I enjoyed watching this.

awesome.. after watching all those abandoned mine videos it`s great to see how a modern mine works

uno de los pocos videos, que hasta ahora he visto, donde muestran algo mas a detalle de su proceso al momento de minar la reserva, me gusto, me fascino

Thank you for the insightful video! I’m trying to get a layman’s idea of how mining works on Earth for a project I’m doing on what asteroid mining might be like one day. This is an excellent presentation to lightly introduce me to the main ideas. I also watched the animated one before this. I’m so intrigued by all the socioeconomic possibilities of industrializing in space.

We haven't needed to use our bolter in two weeks...good ground here in Kentucky!

Raping the land and it isn't even an American mining company...people from other lands plundering our country
