hell yes and the mountain is melting. Interesting fact - they dig a tunnel with a conveyor belt under the mountain and all the ore is transported that way to the other side of the mountain where the refinery is.

wow what a location,  thanks for sharing.

Nice one, great view. Great footage

Indeed you can see two quarry trucks climbing the incline (right of frame) at 0:44 ... also gives a good impression of scale! That is one deep hole!

Did anyone else spot the 'hidden text' in the landscape?! Can't quite make out the Cyrillic text. (@1:11)

Check out the big dump trucks on some of the spirals.  They are moving.
