After a year of timbering and mucking out the Yankee Boy mine we have reached the 400 ft station that has been collapsed as long as anyone can remember! This is exciting because now we can shovel the collapsed material into a ore cart and tram it out of the mine. Once the collapse is clear it opens up another 900 feet of tunnel and two intermediate levels above the level we are on. Nobody alive knows what may be in there. This is not an operating mine we are restoring it for people to visit. We expect it to be open to the public in the spring of 2023. If you are interested in volunteering we could use some help shoveling and pushing out the ore cart. My phone number is 250-444-0183 email is frankmcranch@gmail.com The mine is located at 4120 Hardy Mountain Road Grand Forks BC Canada. Next Friday June 10th there will be a video showing how we got to the 400 and updating viewers on our progress.
This is a fast paced and exciting Mine Exploration Channel. We have been in hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada, United States and Mexico. Join us underground and we will show you things no human has seen for decades! A fast paced, exciting channel that will not bore you. Visit our website exploringabandonedmines.com for directions, exciting pictures and merch.
Why do we explore mines? Two reasons
1) Documenting the mines for future generations.
2) Collecting artifacts for our museum.
Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.
This is all about mining and mining exploration. Join us for our weekly adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
Come visit our Exploring Abandoned Mines Museum in Grand Forks, B.C. Canada.The museum is open to the public, free of charge, donations gratefully accepted. We have a huge assortment of mining artifacts accumulated from abandoned mines, donations, and other collections. We also have operating mining equipment on display. We have recently purchased a nearby abandoned Gold mine and moving our musem there. This will enable us to take people underground to learn about mining history.
Museum is located at 5615 Kenmore Rd Grand Forks BC Canada V0H-1H4. Best to phone first 250-444-0183. Come for a visit! www.google.com...
