Blasting at Marvel Lock Gold Mine

[KraziIvan]

Though no one is in them, they raise the boxes to protect the cab. Easier to do that then drive them all the way out and back.

[zaryadnik]

in first video why you use three trucks with raised bodies?

[PittsburghCopBlock]

no tnt was used in this video

[TheGoreSmasher]

cause i'm TNT !!

[SittingMooseShaman]

@macktheknife888...done dirt cheap... Det-chordt iz zuch a vunderful uniter uff such fvunn devices! Blast 'em high-- & THANX, big-time! 4 this information!! I'm gonna get on it right after I post this comment... Comets: Gawds' open-pit mining machine!!

[macktheknife888]

This Comet we got heading towards us in October 2011 which was discovered by a man from Russia going by the name of Leonid Elenin, ( yeah, right ) Look up the name Leonids and you will see that it's a name for a meteor shower. And Elenin, well the first part of his sir name E.L.E. ( EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT ) I will let all of you work the rest of this out, but in my opinion the middle of October 2011 is going to be bad news. Just remember folks, you heard it first from macktheknife888.

[Papaz2010]

Very nice vid!

Tell me in an average blast how many holes, how deep, what is the bore size and the surface delay?

Stay safe.

[JUSTICESEEKR]

@Papaz2010 At a guess, I would say most of the blasts on average were approximatly 3-400 holes, 6 -12 meteres deep and the hole diametre approximaty 102mm. Mavel Loch geology is very, very hard and very abrasive on drill bits.

[gsellis]

One of the better edits on Youtube. Nice dude.

[kiwicockers]

Full of water right now:-))

[tobybrown75]

wicked sick vid

[khanrhy]

Look at that det-cord go. Sexy.

[footballer2012]

out for a stroll.... da da da... whoosh!!!! guy falls in big ass hole

[kiwicockers]

up just a little thought, as a BRIGHT NZr if you do a blast with REAL gold involved ,how do you know what you have gained or lost, what do you do

[9DragonMaster]

fucking awesome, whats with the lasers?

[gsellis]

@9DragonMaster That is the det cord. It burns really fast.

[9DragonMaster]

@gsellis looks like laser weapons from star wars =D

[2bornot2b1984]

do they have a way of ensuring that every charge went off?

[metallicker691]

that is really average blasting

[TheCoronagirl69]

Shit always happened at the pub Cath..... And remember the warnings before the blast which we could never understand from Bob!!!! Ahhh the good old days.

[cathyinglis]

Great footage. I used to work at Nevoria down the road. BTW it's Marvel Loch (not Lock). And shit never happened at the Pub

[monchienniki]

good blaster

[boxchamp4114]

next time, can you film a couple of local coons hogtied to the top of a few of the blasts, thAnks.

[lickdeeznutz69]

shit blasting

[mycatwilatackyou]

very cool :P

[TheBloodyGrinch]

The first half and the last quarter of the video was great. That third quarter sucked it up though. You could have just not played the whole AC/DC song..

[mstaff657]

that isn't det cord dummies

that is nonel cord going off

they set the timing downhole delays off

[bustincapz]

lol you can see the det cord

[Shalinar45]

Don't get me wrong...love the music but it did'nt need it...AWESOME boosters!

[felixlikesit]

fly rock kings!!!

[slipvane1]

you guys don't fuck around. that was awsome watching those lifters bark out.

[llilcasper]

Yeah it sure is good to watch!!!

[freecamper]

Great video. I love seeing the primer cord (the red line flashes)detonate just instants before some of the blasts. Great capture of a very fast activity.

[urbmeister]

what a sick business

hope you all fall in that pit and survive

[usctrojans666]

Load it high, Let em fly

[drag0123]

kool

[XxkelcieMcxX]

[tikiinoz]

Good vid dude. Really good vision on surface delays going off. Check out my blast vid - "AUSSIE QUARRY BLAST"

[Kodiak660]

That's art!.......controlled destruction!

[NflJaguarfan]

the song is called im tnt

[xc4t4strophicx]

yo dumbass it TNT not "im tnt" and its by AC/DC

[thevidmachine]

I want to emigrate to Australia and make explosions in a big hole!! Nice one mate. I'm seriously envious. Where do I send my CV?

[jobrosbigestfan]

hey this is perfect! do you mind if i copy this for my chemistry project?

[ZAGOPE]

hi

It´s great

Thanks

[ColoradoProspector]

ROCKIN!! Thanks, and it would be nice to see the same footage with it's natural sounds......or maybe another? :-)

[aerodyne666]

sorry no blasting sounds

[proaudiohd]

Cool. Do you have this video with no music? I'd rather hear the blasts!

[aerodyne666]

sorry mate but smokers stink

[aerodyne666]

Anyone who bitches about mining and oil shouldnt be able to drive a car or live in civilization

[secoxxx]

agreed, also, even if your not a smoker, non smokers always talking shit about smoking, yet this country wouldnt be where it is without tobacco trading back in the days, along with mining. Im a gold prospector

[icexiangwu]

@aerodyne666

damn straight. That's what I tell all those pseudo-environmentalist bleeding hearts. I love nature and care about preserving natural beauty of the planet as much as any environmentalist, the only difference is, as a mining engineer I know facts that they don't even bother considering.

besides, every responsible mining company sets aside a rehabilitation fund from the gross earnings so that the mine site will be rehabilitated after operations are concluded.

[Auzzzie]

1 explosion = good, dozens of explosions = awesome. Nice video!

[ciarantmurphy]

Good job, leave the dumpers next to the shots so you don't have to load them!!!!

[digrar]

Probably shieling a drill rig or digger.

[Nachtschwarzk12]

Great job, thanks for putting up this video. Eff the enviro-wackos.

[aerodyne666]

Not all of it stays as gold bars. Your computer wouldnt work without gold, neither would communications equipment, jet aircraft engines

[mafiamob2005]

AGREED THERES A DOWN TURN TO IT BUT THEN AGAIN I AGREE WITH U ITS NOT ALL IN VAIN AfTER ALL WE DO ALL BENEFIT FROM IT STILL GOOD THOUGH :)

[britoca]

this is really sad, we tear nature to shit just so this gold can sit behind bars...

[edhog]

hey fuck face live in a house? well be thankfull that blokes like me go out and do this "to nature" You live in north america, mining, gold silver zinc ore coal watever it is keeps countries runnging so be thankful. Don't bitch

[britoca]

did u know the vast manjority of gold isn't mined for engineering application but to sit behind bars? Real sad, that's the truth.

[edhog]

weither it sits behind bars or not, the fact that a country has it incleases the countries wealth. makeing for a better life style

[britoca]

it's wrong man, it's a no-brainer.

[edhog]

so you would rather live in a slum in a third world country than hav it mined? because thats wat you talking about

[britoca]

just stating the obvious, that raping nature to obtain something which we don't even really need to use is wrong. It's typical human behavior. If gold was something which we fundamentally ne4eded to survive, like food, or water, it'd be forgivable. But it isn't. It's mined so someone can hold it and say "it's mine!".

[edhog]

yeh wat ever. people like you are the ones who make my job alot harder.just were i work on baffin island past the artic cirle in northern canada,200 that work there wouldnt hav jobs if gold wasnt important,so i am eating gold,so to speak.that mine pays my bills

[SolAurum]

silly hippie, so ignorant

[britoca]

SolAurum: "It (gold) gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head." - Warren Buffett

Go call him a hippie as well...

[BHT195]

Raping the earth? What about your clothes? Your house? Your car or bike? Where dya think the materials to power and make those came from? Not everything in life is made from rainbows and sunshine.

[britoca]

BHT195: that is exactly correct, and that's why one should think before going around shopping like a mad man, isn't it? Each purchase must be weighed in your conscience, how does it affect the world you live in? And is it worth that effect just to satisfy your cravings?

[BHT195]

Cravings? Gold is intrinsic to the functionign of modern society, economy, electronics, pharmacueatical applications.... society cannot function on hemp and good intentions. It would be great if we could live if harmony with nature, creating a beautful, inexaustable synergy of man and nature that doesnt pollute and destroy.... sadly thats completely unrealistic, as is comparing the earth to a helpless girl with th word "rape".

[Gadolinium158]

Hey hippie shit, gold has many applications. Let me name a few; wiring in electronics, photography, pharmacological applications, decorative plating, economic standard, jewelery, etc. You realize that the steel to build your hybrid car was probably mined in a similar fashion, as was all the metal that goes into the computer you used to type on Youtube! Mines also provide hundreds if not thousands of jobs! Shut up and keep your Greenpeace bullshit to yourself.

[britoca]

Gadolinium158 shithead: same answer to you as above: "It (gold) gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head." - Warren Buffett

And if we're debating gold, stick to it, that's what my criticism was about, the absurdity of gold extraction for nothing

[hunter69denys]

@Gadolinium158 HA HA Well said ! Thank You.

[grinchmuc]

damn nice!!!

[JiggerPick]

Fuckin' fantastic! Stemming levels and charges?
