Only a stone’s throw from Salt Lake City lies the world’s deepest mine — Rio Tinto Kennecott. Hardworking miners have extracted copper, silver, gold, and other critical resources here for over a century.
Not only do they mine incredible amounts of ore here using shovels and trucks, but it’s…

What an utterly hideous scar on the landscape. Everyone should be ashamed.
Amfo. Diesel and nitrogen fertilizer mix . That’s your main explosive. Still need blasting caps and primer cord .
I've mined copper, gold, diamonds from blast crew to shovel operator.🦘
Sag mills contain balls. They are just larger than the ball mills.
Actually this isn’t the only mine in North America for the processing. Phoenix Mine in Battle Mountain, Nevada processes the copper from start to finish onsite as well into the copper sheets.
How many shovels does it take the P&H to load one dump body?
One day I hope to be as confident as Aaron when he’s calling machines by the wrong name 😂

Great video with some exceptional images! This has probably the best images of flotation I've seen. You mention SAG mills. Is that a manufacturer's name? In my experience with Anaconda's Washoe mill and smelter, those would be rod mills. Can you explain the difference?
Really cool mine but i am amazed that they are able to pay so little for a rock truck driver $23.24 on the website you look at the area surrounding the mine and you would be lucky to afford a 1 bedroom condo off a full time rock truck operator roll i know its considered entry level and i bet that they give a pay bump plus tons of overtime definitely would be a cool job for a young person though wish i new about this when i was 18
Great video as always. Love your enthusiasm for large scale operations and machinery. It helps you're easy on the eyes. Thank you!
One cent coins (Penny) are Copper plated Zinc. Thumbnail. Have been since 1984.
It’s an unintentionally misleading thumbnail image, as “copper pennies” were discontinued in 1983. The penny shown in the thumbnail is made primarily of zinc.
6:41 SAG mills do indeed have steel balls inside them!
I bet those explosives experts are having a blast at their job.
No wait, they are having hundreds of blasts… 😁😁🤘🤘
That is cool❤
This is fake, pikies pull the cables out of your house walls and the walls of buildings on building sites, they burn the cables in a skip whilst drinking cider in their black trousers and “shiny” shoes beside their short wheel base low roof transits, and then they sell the copper to the local scrap yard, hey boss
i am 6 again
Come see Chino and Tyrone in Silver City NM. Would love to see videos on the 2 sites 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I wish this was hours long
Gringos ?
Gringos ?
Viva Río Tinto ! Jajaja.
t.y.
How is copper so cheap if it takes that much work
That building is a crackheads dream score.
Always Great Aaron, cheers from Florida, Paul
Fun fact, they actually bought the town of Bingham right next to it, and completely covered the houses in waste ore. Another fun fact, they actually have no idea where a lot of the underground sections are from back in the day, so sometimes when they drill or blast they blow straight into an old shaft and send an rc car with a gps and camera into it to map the surrounding area. I’d say it’s definitely the coolest place I’ve ever worked haha
Hey I work there!! so glad you made this video!
4:45 he’s like a kid in a candy store 😂
It’s that chemical sludge that is environmentally toxic
