 | justin in a mine shaft, the bottom we lowered justin into a deep mine shaft, although we do not know how deep it really is due to it being submerged underwater, it was at least 175ft til the surface of the water in the mine, the mine is vertical, and was closed in 1918, we used a rope and pully system using my truck as a hoist and counterweight, and my friends truck as a pully and anchor, backing my truck up and pulling forward adjusted Justin inside the mine shaft, all the equipment we used was well proof loaded to withstand his body weight, video comments and ratings are well appreciated. |

 | View of BOTH Vertical Shafts at Ella Mine Group About 35 feet away from the open, vertical shaft at the Ella Mine Group is yet another vertical shaft -- but this one has been filled in due to landslides over the years. I wonder how deep that shaft went and if it met up with a horizontal tunnel that connected to the other vertical shaft? Is there still gold down there? |

 | Lapis Lazuli mining in Sari-i-Sang in northern Afghanistan Years of war and exploitation have degraded many of Afghanistan's natural resources. But among the still highly prized assets is the lapis lazuli gemstone which has been mined in northern Afghanistan for 6,000 years. The only pure source of the stone lies in Sar-i-Sang in the Kocha valley of northern Afghanistan. James Bays makes the dangerous journey to the mines and finds men who risk their lives to get to these gems. To get to the world's largest lapis lazuli mine - you have to go on a gruelling journey. It takes more than 12 hours from the nearest town by road, although there are no real roads to speak of. These are mountain passes - some them are extremely treacherous - and they can only be navigated slowly and extremely carefully. Finally, you drop down into the Kocha valley - and the mines at Sari-i-Sang, where a village has been built to house the hundreds of men involved in the search for lapis lazuli. The gemstone - actually a complex mineral made up of sodium and aluminium has been highly sought after for thousands of years. The deep ocean blue stones are on sale as jewellery and gift boxes in shops in Kabul, but much of the lapis mined in Northern Afghanistan is smuggled across the border to Pakistan. The village is the base camp for a highly lucrative, yet until recently a totally illegal, business. You are already at a high altitude here - before you start climbing to the mines themselves. At this height you soon get out of breath. Once inside the dark airless mineshafts, you meet the men who risk their lives for a tiny share of the profits. Deep inside the mountain, the only light is from a number of gas lamps. No one is wearing any safety equipment as they detonate the dynamite Once the dust has settled after a controlled explosion, they go back down the shaft. The men in these mine shafts get paid only when they find something. Mohammed Habid told me he has been working every day for five months and he has found nothing. He will stay for another two months because his family is desperate for the money. Back in the 1980s, the proceeds from the mine used to fund the mujahidin fighting the Soviet occupation. Finding out who takes the profits now is more difficult. The mine is supposed to be overseen by the Afghan government, but we were told their officials are rarely allowed on site. |
