We traveled up to Conrad Yukon in northern Canada. There lies the remains of the Venus Mine and mill. The mill is in poor condition with the buildings collapsing on some really interesting equipment abandoned over 100 years ago. Above the mill there are some remains of the tram also abandoned in 1912. We run into the law while trying to save the remains of the tram. It is sad to see all this history deteriorating. As we found out there is a law in the Yukon preventing anyone from removing anything deemed historic from the Yukon that is over 45 years old without a permit. The Government is not interested in doing anything to preserve the site and they are refusing to grant any permits to remove anything. The only thing that will remain of the site for future generations to enjoy will be videos like this one.
We've explored hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada the United States and Mexico, going places nobody else would dare to go! A New video is produced every Friday, check us out here:

We do this for two main 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.

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.
This isn't Minecraft but the real deal!
