When I was in Kazakhstan, my good friend took me to a massive Uranium mine. They really do things on a massive scale. The difference between the lead mine and the uranium mine is still quite intact. Many of the local people have health problems and no one wants to go anywhere near the uranium mine. Not much evidence of scrappers having left their mark. There is a chain link fence with barb wire around all the milling and refining buildings and the fence is in good condition. Next to the guard house at the main gate, there is a heavy cement wall littered with bullet marks. I was asked to keep quiet about those. Wonderful people in Kazakhstan. I miss them a lot.

So, some of these mines are incredibly labor-intensive in a way that would never work in a place like the US.
