A little about the mine...

The model is based off the real-life Theresa Mine located near Victor Colorado. The mine was in operation from 1895 - 1900 and was one of the few profitable Gold Mines in Colorado. The steel structure you see was built in 1934 after a fire burnt down most of the original above ground structures. 

The mine produced 120,000 ounces of gold worth about $230 million at today's prices. The shaft was eventually over 1600 feet deep.
