| Video Discription | Located In Northern British Columbia, Kitsault is perhaps one of the best preserved modern day ghost towns. It sits in a nearly perfect state of preservation with the power still on. This area of northern British Columbia was long known for its rich mineral deposits. In 1979 it was molybdenum (also known as 'Moly') that was in high demand. Molybdenum is used in steel alloys to increase strength, hardness, electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and wear. Between 1967 and 1972, a total of 10 million tons of molly had already been mined but the prices in the early 70s were trending down. AMAX of Canada Ltd. purchased the site in 1973. By around 1979 the Moly market was on the rise with news that many of the known deposits in western Canada and the United States were depleted. In 1979 The mine was reopened and construction of the town started. The plan was to make Kitsault a place that would attract workers to remote northern BC. They would build a community that would house around 1,200 residents. By 1980, the first families would start moving in. Built was a community of around 100 single family homes and duplexes and seven apartment buildings with around 200 suites. There was a modern hospital, mall, restaurants, bank, theatre, two recreation centres, a school and more. Everything a modern 1980s community would want and need. Just after families had settled in and the price of Moly collapsed due to the 1982 recession and the moly byproduct production from copper mines, the mine was closed. The last residents were gone by 1983. Only 18 months of full operation to closure. For the next 22 years the town sat vacant and untouched like a time capsule. Caretakers were hired to maintain the town during this time. In 2005 an American businessman bought the town and has spent millions in renovations keeping the town preserved with a vision for future development and projects. Today most of the town still remains as it was from 1983. Join my friend Mike and I as we explore through this fascinating one of a kind ghost town.
