Only worth it for your long long term investment, short term a guaranteed loss. It's all manipulated and so is Mike bias on gold because that's his business. Always keep that in perspective.

For sure I thought so, it seems to be a good hedge against inflation in the long term, thanks for your feedback.

Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

Wow, that's really impressive! I could definitely benefit from the guidance of an investment advisor since my portfolio has been stagnant lately. Would you be able to share the name of the advisor who's been guiding you?

Except for on-going ethnic cleansing, mass murders, international looting, and rape of the indigenous Australian population who do not want the Freeport mine or Indonesian gunships and military occupation. The mine is NOT in Indonesia that is Asian, Papua is the northern section of the Australian continent some 3500km east of Java (Indonesia). West Papua is victim of illegal use of the UN Trusteeship system in what is infamously known as the "New York Agreement" to in-effect sell the indigenous Australian population and their homelands to their traditional enemy Indonesia/Java (Javanese have for past thousand years attempted to kidnap Papuans as a black slave commodity, but the Papuans kept beating them back. After creation of 'Indonesia' it demanded possession of West Papua, eastern Papua (now known as independent nation of PNG), northern Borneo, and East Timor.) Unfortunately the Dutch allowed Standard Oil buy a 60% holding in the exploration company that was tasked with exploring West Papua's mineral resources, a year later they discovered what they renamed as Ertsberg and Grasberg and in violation of the license concealed both the discovery and survey reports while John Rockefeller made plans how to get hold of the mountains without paying the Dutch or Papuans for converting their sacred mountains into a hole. Under the "New York Agreement" the US and UN appointed Indonesia as the "administrator" and in violation of the UN Charter for 61 years has turned its back while Indonesia and Freeport have been looting the colony. Sixty years of on-going mass murders, international looting, denial of media access, and on-going denial of rights.. West Papua is victim of the "New York Agreement" so WHY did Indonesia in 2005 forbid the US Senate passing that year's bill (sec.1115) asking questions about conditions inside West Papua and validity of the Indonesian claim of sovereignty over West Papua? The New York Agreement appointed Indonesia as the UN member to administrate and help West Papua towards independence, does the US not have a right and duty to ask about it?

Thanx! I probably walked in one hunting. We had a camp in Potter County. Part of the Appalachian Trail passed very near there. Old French Joe. There were old railroad beds too. No tracks or ties. But there were fire roads. While driving for deer some places were so steep I had to hold onto the trees with one hand and a rifle in the other. Practically walking on one knee uphill and leg extended on the other.

STFU western world is the truly evil, look at thousands of years history western world deeds around the world.

Across most of West Papua there had been stories since the 1860s of white people, but few could believe it until they saw them. Then unfortunately under the on-going occupation of the "New York Agreement" came the Indonesian military, they used US Mitchell bombers during the 1960s, these days its Apache and other helicopter gunships and this year Chinese drones designed to carry eight mortar bombs that can be dropped on the target (villagers).

Same here downunder opal miner here and where I live banned open cuts about 40yrs ago they end up as very large holes that are never remediated

@@owenwilson25 Valid point indeed

Would take hundreds of years

How many mines were restored to original conditions? Very rare. I have seen numerous open pit mines which are not restored. Huge piles of slag and overburden are the result.

But at least those were 'Americans' mining America, not a foreign military invasion from Asia 3500km away from the Australian island and indigenous peoples of Papua. The authors of the 'New York Agreement' were criminals, and the on-going international looting stunning.

It is pretty amazing. I did 2 120 day work visas there in 93-94 doing network installation and turn up working with the Indonesians. We worked from the port site to the mine and even did some underground work.

​@@Chris_at_HomeAny advice for starting work as a starter in one of these mines?

You must be joking.

The evil Indonesians have repressed the native West Papuans for decades for their riches. The Kopassus (Indonesian Special Forces) are currently killing West Papuan freedom fighters who are fighting for Independence. West Papua and Papua New Guinea should become one country! Australia, NZ, UK and the USA should support their Independence and union because Indonesia could easily become the Iran of South East Asia!

Disagree. As stewards of nature, wise use of nature’s resources is the most important factor. Unfortunately greed takes over for so many and destruction then follows.

​@smokey smith The visible effects of this on the land seem to nullify any justification that this as wise or undestructive. Not to mention, greed and destruction were a consistent theme from the beginning and reminisced with a smile several times throughout this film. It gives me the chills justifying a few thousand jobs for slave assembled electronic components and decades of extracted resources from a pristine ecosystem in a developing nation, but just disagree anyways for no reason.

And we're this Indonesian man build an impossible road.

@@mannycontreras5266 What the video omits is that West Papua is legally not part of Indonesia, not even part of Asia, it is some 3500km east of Java (Indonesia) because Papua is the northern 10% of the Australian continental land mass. That's why Papua has kangaroos, echidna, cassowaries, etc. and why Papuans look like Australian aboriginals because they are the same race whose ancestors settled Papua and all of the southern continent some fifty to seventy thousand years ago. Indonesia and Freeport are looting West Papua, they made multiple invasions during the 1950s each of which failed, in Dec' 1961 Indonesia launched Operation Trikora invasion which again failed as Papuans arrested the Indonesians, but earlier in Sep' 1961 the UN Secretary General was killed and replaced by Indonesia's buddy U Thant mostly because two days before Dag Hammarskjold was killed Indonesia announced it was refusing to accept the role as President of the 1961 General Assembly and thereby forcing the popular Mongi Slim of Tunisia to be President and thereby unable to be nominated as Secretary General when news came 36 hours later that Hammarskjold was dead. U Thant pressed the Americans to get the Dutch to sign what is now known as the 'New York Agreement' in which they are asking the UN General Assembly to annex West Papua and appoint Indonesia as administrator of the colony. - Unfortunately our governments in article 81 and 85 of the UN Charter granted themselves the option to authorise UN annexations irrespective of local objections. Although article 85 part 2 requires that such action be reported to the UN Trusteeship Council so the Council can begin making its yearly UN reports about victims of UN annexations, U Thant decided not to tell the Council about West Papua... And so for the past 61 years Indonesia and others have enjoyed their freedom to kill and loot West Papuan people at will. THAT is the reason any 'Indonesian' building any road or other colonial looting asset in Papua is a international criminal, not a "hero"

( best to view it on google earth then research it )

yeah,. but they were slightly to the east in WW2. The mine in this video is in Indonesia, previously Dutch New Guinea territory in WW2 (west side of the island). The Aussies did their WW2 New Guinea campaign in Papua New Guinea( east side). The mining business continues today on both sides of the border, in the highlands... and all over the place. Same with Oil and Gas... there are operators from all over the world, in various areas. And definately all over PNG

Or the level of man’s greed.

I agree it is about greed. I want to know. Who gets the money?

To loot people at gun-point? What kind of person admires looting and greed driven ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population? The Indonesian military has flown 3500km to invade West Papua, the invasion in 1961/1962 was about the ninth and like each of the others the Papuans arrested the Indonesian invasion force but in September 1961 the UN Secretary General had been killed and with Indonesia's help Indonesia's buddy U Thant became the new UN Secretary General who pressed Kennedy to help Indonesia force the Dutch to sign the 'New York Agreement' to authorise UN annexation and appointing Indonesia as a colonial administrator for the past 61 years. Sure you help Ukraine, because they're white, but when an Axis Islamic power like Indonesia flies 3500km to invade our Pacific War allies in Papua, what did you government do?

I played pool with a pilot for that company. Really nice dude.

Bechtel king of every filthy scheme from privatizing South America's water to looting Papuan gold at Indonesian gun point and between.

Indonesian invasion, which the Papuans arrested but Papuans are not white like Ukrainians so the UN supported Indonesia, pressed the US to force the Dutch to sign the 'New York Agreement' so the new UN Secretary General could then blackmail the other UN members at General Assembly plenary meeting 1127 to authorise the UN invasion that released the Indonesian soldiers who began selecting goods to transport 3500km back to Java to sell. Then the 'fun' began as the UN officially appointed Indonesia as the new colonial master for the past sixty years. Numerous reports about the ethnic cleansing, trying to convert the Papuans to Islam and gratitude for the ongoing Indonesian occupation. e.g. Yale Law School title "Indonesian Human Rights Abuses in West Papua: Application of the Law of Genocide to the History of Indonesian Control" , or the Asian Human Rights title "Neglected Genocide"
