Terry Turner's Placer mine on Cariboo River. A single day's operation with two men and lots of equipment.
Hello Jon, I remember you from my days at North American Inspection in Edmonton, and your visit to me at a job site in the Yukon, working on the jet fuel line to Haines , Alaska. Hope you and the family are well, I do remember you making the canoe trip, and also the survival , adrift for 52 days after a yacht explosion near Australia, being rescued by a Russian Whaling ship. You are truly an adventurer and a Canadian Icon. Leo Touw
Очень хорош стол зеленый, где приобрести.
Wow 💪💪💪💪💪how awesome
Never seen lose bars on a grizzly before. Is that BC or the Yukon?
BC, on the Cariboo river.
Holy crap thats awesome
Hi Jon, long time no see...Best regards from Bochum! Helmut
Love it!!!!
Only 9 oz. Hope your doing that 5x a day. Your over head looks high. Best wishes.
9oz. aint to bad dependin on how long they ran before the clean up. Its better than what I'm gettin right now, 0 ounces to the ton, no mine to mine.
You don't hear that squeaking? there is a reason for that shit.
Machine Won"t Last long Without Grease !
great video, thanks :)
Love how you show the whole process! Great video! Cheers!
Looks good! I hope you guys do well!
some one needs to be running a darn grease gun wow
8 to 10 ounces? That's not much for the size of that operation. That washplant is huge.
jon Will Greetings, Large plant for sure. This was a friend's mine on the Caribou River in BC. He had planned to run 1500 yards per day, but was restricted to about 1000 yds due to clay and the schists in the fill. I made the video for him, he showed it around and subsequently sold the mine. The grade was 250 yds per ounce.
ouch. An ounce per 250 yards is a claim you get off of. Gotta get at least an ounce per hundred.
jon Will I agree. That's why he sold it. He is now mining with smaller equipment in a less 'spotty' area and was on seventy yard ground when he shut down in November.
Yea, it's probably hard to say "ok, there's gold here, but not enough so I will keep looking for claims" when you have everything ready to go. When there's gold fever present, you just want to DIG if there's a little gold on the claim. 100 yards/ounce is the least ground you want to mine. You gotta do the math, heavy equipment costs like 60 bucks an hour to run. Bigger machines cost more than that. 2 machines and a washplant running for 10 hours a day is 2 grand in running costs at the minimum.
Hi Jon, I hope things are well with you. I love to see that your book has been republished and I look forward to reading it. Would love to see you again. Tracy "Pelletier" Starker
Tracy Starker greetings from the west coast. Thanks for the comment. Where are you living these days?
I would drive their gravel truck for a week for free, just to experience that level of mining.John V
