We are now 400 feet into the Yankee Boy mine with our ore cart. Everything is now mucked out to the 400. Timbering is complete and we have poured the concrete for our new museum. We are on the verge of breaking through a collapse that has closed the final 900 feet of main haul level and two sub levels. Check out our progress so far! Here is a link to the PDF file of the mine plans https://propertyfile.gov.bc.ca/showDocument.aspx?docno=750828 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.
