Was wondering if anyone would like to come see where I work? Its a pretty unique place and I wouldnt mind giving some fellow members (and maybe a couple of forum users too) a tour. I was thinking sometime in April before it starts getting warm. Let me know what dates work for you guys. Sorry, but the Jeeps will have to stay in the parking lot at the main gate and we would take a van into the pit. I am thinking max of 9 people. There might be some decent rock collecting, but I can gaurantee great photo ops with some really big mining equipment.
Here are some pics to give you an idea of layout:
The daily blast going off in the distance:
Shovel loading trucks:
To get an idea of the size of the mine try finding the shovels in this pic (they are about the size of a 4 story building):
Let me know if your interested and we will try to work it in sometime in April.
