Behind the scenes at a Nevada gold mine 2,200 feet below ground
Nevada has a long history of mining — and it’s still leading the nation in gold production today. We went nearly half a mile underground at Turquoise Ridge, one of Nevada’s largest operating gold mines, to see how 900 workers produce about 500,000 ounces of gold each year. From drilling and blasting deep beneath the desert to processing ore in massive high-pressure autoclaves, this is a 24/7 operation that could keep running through 2050. ----- Stay up to date with our social media: KRNV on Facebook: / krnvnews4 KRNV on Twitter: / krnv KRNV online: https://mynews4.com Have a news tip?
