For this abandoned mine explore we visit a historic tungsten mine with extensive underground workings. This mine has several enormous cavern like stopes, many ore drops and all kinds of interesting artifacts, including wood dynamite boxes, tools, cans and papers. After exploring the upper level we roped in and descended to the lower level. The lower level was an older working than the level in part one. In this video we explore the lower level where we find some interesting artifacts including a wooden dynamite box and half a case of dynamite. There are also some hand tools, a very large water tank and a cage like room.
This mine was discovered in 1917 with production starting in 1928. Total production from 1928 through 1954 was 272,591 tons and averaged a grade of approximately 0.5% WO3(tungsten trioxide).
