1930's Patented Gold Mine Tailings Pile
On this adventure, Chad gets a lead on a Gold Mine with a large tailings pile that may still hold recoverable gold. This Mojave Desert Mine is a true gem. The team set out to sample, explore and bring back samples to test at the millsite. If you are interested in this patented mine please email Info@mineoperator.com

    0:24 if a 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 inch thick slab could be made, it would make a nice living room coffee table. Nice expensive digital machine you have there. With one of those you don't need 6 plus years of a Geology University.

    Great video. I would like to make one small suggestion as a trained high angle/confined space rescuer. Please use some edge protection for your rope when in a hole. Sharp edges can and will rapidly degrade your rope. And to your comment, I’d come do that for free.

    • @mineoperator
      @mineoperator 15 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I appreciate your comment. After making this video, I attended a 5-day course at Altius in Las Vegas, NV, and obtained my SPRAT Level 1 cert. I now use a 2-rope system, rope guards, etc. I thought that would be a smart investment and I'm sure glad I did. Now to get 500 qualifying hours to attend the class for the level 2 cert.

      Think about those people in Alaska, if they can do it so could Jason. He would need a Snowmobile just to get to work at his mine. But Jason has other interests in the Winter months, so does Mine Operator.

      A Classic XRF Gun is $30,000.00 and a Delta Pro is $35,000.00. Only way I could buy one of these is to borrow against my home and I'm not into gold prospecting at my age. These tools I don't think were available in the 1970's when I graduated from High School.

    • @Patvk8
      @Patvk8 5 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @scuss2 I'm actually surprised they're that cheap! Lol, we could maybe get some rich ole prospector to buy one and rent it out. I'd have graduated in the 70's too, but I dropped out in Ontario and headed west instead. Been fascinated by geology my entire life and love digging up dirt to go treasure hunting 👍 . Have fun out there and enjoy!

    See the difference in "American Made" products, such as Chad's Splitter? That will last many Generations. Chad must have played with an Erector Set when he was a child, then went to Engineering University after High School. He comes up with some cool $hit for sure. If you can dream it, think it, you can build it, that's my philosophy.

    • @mineoperator
      @mineoperator วันที่ผ่านมา

      @billoc1255 We appreciate it! After we get these test results back, we'll have an understanding of the values hidden in the tailings and/or mine dump. Then, we perform additional research and calculations verifying if we can make a profit processing the tailings or mine dump. Also, if we can clean up and remediate the site simultaneously.

  • @lotharschiese8559
    @lotharschiese8559 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Why all splitting? It is the best logical way to mix the samples to end up with something that needs to be assayed. Have you considered recording the weight of each split and then pan down and dry the concentrates sending that for assay. Just as you see the black sands in the pan, take notice if you have scheelite, shortwave ultraviolet light, Fluorescence of scheelite, sometimes associated with native gold, is used by geologists in the search for gold deposits. UV light should be like a pen in your shirt pocket.

    • @mineoperator
      @mineoperator วันที่ผ่านมา

      Harry and Conman mixed the material while crushing with the orbital. We could've run it through our cement mixer or dumped it into a mixing tub and turned the material over with a shovel for a while as another option. Right now, we're interested in the grade of the tailings pile and not the grade of any concentrate. We also want to know what other values may be contained in the tailings. The goal is to create a concentrate from froth flotation and leaching the concentrate. We're in conversation with a couple companies in regards leaching but the mineral content of the tailings or mine dump can affect how well a reagent will perform. We'll continue to acquire data to prove or disprove if it's financially viable to recover gold and any by or co-products available. I'm not at liberty to disclose which companies or reagents are being considered as of yet. I do plan to share as much information as possible as it comes available.

    OK, I admit it...I'm an idiot sometimes... Why a splitter ?? Why not just shake it all up, weigh out two one pound batches. The splitter looks nice so I'm guessing not cheap...BTW - MO ROCKS!

    • @mineoperator
      @mineoperator 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Chad welded up the splitter to save time. The lab versions are atrocious on the cost. The goal is to eliminate the nugget effect and human error as best we can. Then sending two competing sister samples to labs, one can now make an educated and financial guess on how to proceed. The worst feeling in the world is having a poorly split test come back hot and the ore ends up terrible. It's a lesson that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

    I watched the whole video and I certainly would have to have a UTV. When prospecting or reaching a mine operation, trucks and cars are too big to drive there. I think of this as the farther away you are from civilization, the more important it becomes using one. Blessings from Alabama ❤️
