This video will take you step-by-step through Eagle's mining process. In addition, the video explains the techniques we use to find nickel and copper.
About us:
Eagle Mine is a nickel-copper mine located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The underground mine is expected to produce 360 million pounds of nickel, 295 million pounds of copper and small amounts of other metals over its estimated eight year mine life. Eagle Mine is owned and operated by Lundin Mining Corporation.

how long each step needed from boring till nickel ready to sell?

@Vistu11a 4 года назад

I watched this with my 6 year old son in the UK - and he was fascinated. Thank you. He did however, have one question - how did the trucks get to the lower level after the deployment of explosives?

@mariacristinaorac8915 4 года назад

Well, underground mining. From what I learned, it is called stoping. These trucks designed for underground mining pass through shafts, adits and tunnels. These terms have different meanings in mining though they seemed to be similar.

@Mining2Me 4 года назад

the blasted rock would be mucked out, and then the ground is sloped, and the whole process repeats again

@harrickvharrick3957 3 года назад

exactly! that is a good question of your little son.

Good day I am writing on behalf of Dzinge Productions, we are shooting children's education programme titled The EPIC Hangout. One of our topic deals Mining. Can I request permission to use your footage as part of the show while teaching educating the kids about mining. Please may I have your contact details.

No offence, but that's nothing compared to what the Springhill coal mine was in the 1950's. It's slope was 14,200 feet long, with a vertical depth of 4,000 feet. At the time, it was the deepest coal mine in North America. Unfortunately, it was closed down due to some major disasters.

What damage? Michigan passed some strictest sulfide mining law's aimed at Eagle Mine. Those sulfide mining law's are being followed to the letter and then some!!! My son works there tells me all the procedures they have to follow. I'm willing to bet you are one Those people who enjoy all the modern conveniences life has to offer.

Why do trucks have to drive 67 miles one way from Eagle to the Humboldt grinding plant? Oh yeah the eco freaks killed county road 595, cutting the trip to 21 miles ONE WAY. Gee that's lot of extra diesel fuel and exhaust, way to go!!! Let's not forget the extra highway traffic.
