Ely Valley Mine, NV

[Ray Dunakin]

Yet another video from my recent Nevada & Mojave trip. This one features the defunct Ely Valley Mine in eastern Nevada. The mine first started production in 1926. There are two separate mine shafts, each with its own headframe. The original 1926 shaft has a wooden headframe, and a more recent shaft has a larger steel headframe. There are also several buildings in the complex. The mine has been out of operation for decades, but is still off-limits to trespassing and only accessible by drone:
