Big Ore - mining has undergone many evolutions throughout the millennia. This film explores how copper, iron, gold and salt mining were performed in the mid 20th century. It demonstrates techniques for extracting the ore from the ground and how it is refined - with fascinating shots of the men hard at work getting the raw materials we use in every day life.

This film explores how copper is mined from the ground and then smelted into a usable pure form of copper for all sorts of uses. The film has great scenes of using dynamite to help excavate the copper and of the smelting process where the copper is sorted out of the raw materials and put into a usable form for later manufacturing.
