      ​@mattk7865 I'm in the NV desert now. It sucks. It's already triple digit temps in May. Everything is dusty. When its windy you feel as if you're in a convection oven. There is almost no weather, but it can be catastrophic when it rains. And there's not enough greenery around (but it is a desert after all) People in Vegas really suck for the most part, but you'll also find some of the best people on earth there. Overall I'd rate the NV desert (outside of the cities) an 8/10 solely for the good people, but otherwise sucks

      it's also an economy of scale thing. the bigger the truck the bigger the volume of PAY-load, per trip, overall cost of ton miles drops.
      it also takes decades to get to an operation of this scale. to _start_ a mine at this scale is monsterously expensive and takes years of coordination, because even the equipment suppliers do not carry inventory for example. Those big haul trucks are fairly generic, but an operator can't just call up and order 10-20 units and expect rapid delivery. A multimillion dollar shop needs to be built to even finish delivery assembly.

    I was at a Nevada gold mine, I found a neat heavy dented ball on the ground and brought it inside and put it on my folding table. I came back to the room being evacuated and my ball being removed. Turns out the used ball mill balls can explode from the stress of heating up and cooling over and over as they crush ore. After a few days I found a neat giant scorpion I put in my beverage container and placed on my folding table. The plant manager said I was like a damn child, just touching and picking up everything. All they told me was stay away from cyanide and shinny yellow rocks. Never said anything about balls and scorpions.

    I would say water is too dense to extract gold with. It's too wasteful in other words, I know it is the most abundant ressource doesn't mean it's the best to work with. Gold is heavy, and I can see they are fortifying their process by making as many systems as possible. But they can make do with very few systems. And have like near 100% extraction success. But switching to less dense liquids might be very tricky. But if they can save on consumption somehow then it could prove to be worth it.

  • @beloved_lover

    I've never understood how that's even remotely feasible considering the size of the operation and how small the output is in physical form. Heavy machines and cost to build the facility and maintain everything. But then again, 15 000 000 Oz of gold is worth $40 billion in today's price. So it kinda makes sense now.

    Interesting, I ‘m a geologist with some background in mineral processing engineering. I once got a tour of a much smaller scale, but still profitable, mine in the Flowery lode that parallel to and east of the Comstock under Virginia City. They had just cut into old underground works that dated back to gold rush days. We also saw an old and in the day not so well controlled cyanide mill that looks like desert, but was a Superfund Cleanup site.

    this video was really well done and informative! it's impressive to see how much gold Nevada produces. but honestly, i can't help but wonder if the environmental impact of all this mining is being overlooked. should we prioritize economic gain over ecological health? just a thought!

    What most people don't understand is the cost of getting 1 ounce of gold out of the ground and poured into a bar. There are both operating costs and capitol costs. Plus, over time the operating costs, relative to the amount of gold taken out of the ground, go up. Mines vary greatly when it comes to costs, mainly dependent on the quality of the "Dirt" pulled out of our planet. That said, the average "Cost" is probably around $1,800/ounce +-. Add to that, mining is hard work and dangerous.

    I call them "greenhorn hunters". You know the type. The subtle pissing contest of who has done more and knows more where they take any opportunity to verbally hint at someone being beneath them in one way or another. At least thats the vibes i always get. It drives me crazy

      Typically is another department in the mine and they drill wells around the parameter and pump out the ground water.
