"Blowing Up Dynamite To Get Into An Abandoned Mine Here's a continuation of my search for ways into the main Union Mine at Cerro Gordo without using the central shaft and hoist. This time I start with the Omega Mine using a loader backhoe and dynamite to bust in. Then it was onto the Bullion. A couple weeks back Johnny and explored the Bullion Mine in what was the most terrifying mine exploration I'd ever done.
