Sock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well it might be my first post, I don't remember if I ever posted on the old site. Sorry the pics are kinda big, I am used to forums auto resizing. This is my my job is cooler than yours. This is what I did today. I went underground at the mine today. The mine shaft is 1,600 feet deep. The mine mines sylvite (KCl) and langbeinite(K2SO42MgSO4). Its surrounded by halite(NaCl) and a some other minerals. They are used in fertilizer. The front of a continuous miner. This miner costs $2.6 million. This is what they were mining into. More of the continuous miner. The miner is controlled remotely. Ore car which the miner feeds Mining face again. It was around 8.2 feet tall. Our transportation, a tomcar. I don't know how clear these two pics are. The side walls were collapsing. They say it makes it easier to mine but its dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sock Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 very cool, quite random, but cool I was trying to figure out a way I could post for the first time. That's really cool, Never seen anything like it before. Kinda sucks I may never see it again. I like the first pic the best. The machine looks like a fun sex toy.. Where can I buy one? Just send me the $2.6 million I will send you one. Tuff Job but Cool... I would like to see a higher resolution version of the first pic but good pic either way It would suck and be fun at the same time to run a miner for a living. I forgot photobucket shrinks the picture some, I don't know how much better quality the one I have is. It wouldn't be too much better. very interesting first post, it kinda makes me wanna go to Alaska and sift the mines for gold. Gold mining would be tough. Sifting for gold would be alot easier. hey its Sock! Nice pics man. I'll come down to New Mexico and you take me in there k? If I end up here permanently I could. Visitors can come down.
