I was hoping to mention the tar sand mines in Alberta Canada and the Red Dog mine in northern Alaska (it’s the largest source of zinc in the world)

The sizes of these mines are absolutely flabbergasting! I just can't imagine excavations so large, and I'm sure they are amazing to see in person. I don't think the average person can even imagine the scope of the operations. 😊😊😊😊😊

The gold mine in Nevada made 23, 000 gold bars. When they said 800, 000 oz., it sounded like such a little bit for such a large mine. They really should just said 23, 000 gold bars. That would've been MORE impressive.
