- Exploring an abandoned mine which may have gold and platinum. The main portion of the mine adit is 100 meters long with a flooded winze and possible lower level. The mine adit was struck on a massive quartz vein which may contain gold, platinum and iron sulphides. During our visit we almost had a bear walk into the mine after we had gone in!!
Thanks for enjoying our videos on gold mining, prospecting for gold, minerals, gemstones, mineral exploration, exploring mines and everything geology, if you enjoyed you will definatly love these videos below:

Thanks for your videos and consistency mate. You guys are PROSPECTORS in the true sense.
Holy shmokes! 911 mining ROCKS!!!
People all over the world are learning from you guys!!
And that’s why we keep watchin.... bears and gold and such lol 🍺🍺🍺🍺👍🇺🇸
Keep that bear spray handy! Cool mine, would love to see whats down the flooded shaft. Glad to know your prospectin buddy has a voice, lol. Yall be safe out there.
What, a bear. Yikes. A great fear of mine. Cool mine. Looks clean and sturdy.. ty
Thanks for sharing guys 🤠
Watch out for the bear sign... Great sulphides in that adit, I'd love to see the assay reports on that spot. Another great video...
Pretty cool stuff kinda surprised you don't run into more bears the places you go. Have a great day and prospect on.
Black bears very usually keep their distance from humans. But every now and again, you'll get a abnormally predatory bear -- almost always a male. These loner predator males will stalk your ass. If they get you, they won't necessarily do a very good job killing you before they start eating ... throw your arse into some bushes, take a few bites of soft parts, then drag some brush over the top of you to save you for later. :-)
I love watching you guys! I wish I could be a fly on the wall and just learn from all of your experience!
Sampling there was almost bearable. Nice adit. Thanks.
Thank you!
I 'dig' the whole 'showing' of what you both do. It is a geology Ed.
How about offering a drawing for a winner to have one of their field samples tested for metals.
Just an idea to the High grade guys.
Great video and as always very appreciative of the education We receive! AND your sketchy partner "no disrespect intended" has a voice! Thanks 911
What about using a submersible pump and a generator connected by a waterproofed cable?
Dude. Please put the assay results at the end. I watch the whole thing and Dont know any more at the end than i did in the beginning
That is a massive quartz vein indeed.
Excellent show
So much yellow stained sulphide areas in that mine.Good that the road is nearby.Guess Teddy Bear doesn't like you guys near his hangout but.... Hey,you have to share right ?
We went into the mine a few feet and I forgot something in my truck when I came out it had crossed the road and was only 15 feet away heading straight for the entrance we jumped in the truck and it stood up on his back legs saw us and ran into the bushes. Seem surprised we where there. The odd thing is last time we came here was 5 months ago and while we where inside the mine someone shot and dumped that bear carcass right by the entrance we came out and it was all skinned and nothing left but bones, head and paws.
@@911mining that is unusual. Do you think someone knew you were in there? Maybe they shot the bear before it entered. Leff you the carcass to let you know bears were there?
Wow nice
Length and depth of the quartz vein? Any ideas about that?
Not sure yet, we have followed it for a few hundred meters in exposed areas, still more work to do here..
Awesome adventure cool mine more knowledge fantastic sweet area for what we see as for the bear ya u got to be dam careful awesome guys thank u be safe
That’s really cool. You are going to be the first in who knows how long to know what’s going on in there.
Since the 60's like he when he said the claim was first staked you mean? It seems a definite possibility. 😉 Seriously, though, heavens knows what the original geologists/miners were thinking here.
Are you allowed to carry bear spray or a 45 for protection for the just in case of self protection ?.
Bear spray yes we all have bear spray and bear bangers, depends where we go and how many people we have with us we may bring a gun. No handguns allowed in Canada unless it's to and from a range, a few days ago we where way out in the bush and one of the guys brought an SKS. All depends on if you want to pack the extra weight around. 😉
What do you carry as a means of protection? You've shown elk and now a bear... elk can be pretty aggressive.. at least in Idaho they have been.
Usually bear spray and bear bangers for every person. Don't usually bring anything else to much to pack maybe if it's a few day overnight trip
Is that yellow and black on the walls mineral seeping out and sedimenting?
Would that be called an 'active' or a 'living' deposit?
It seems that minerals are coming up out of the ground and precipitating right at the surface.
The black is sulfides, pretty much anything you see is sulfides or quartz.
@@911mining My question is if the minerals are still welling up from their epithermal source to this location, or is it just leaching out of the rocks above the adit.
Is no mine dump an indicator they trucked all the ore out for processing?
Prospecting a 91 meter adit struck on a 18 meter wide gold and platinum quartz vein!
Nice
It's good that the bear had some fear of you guys and ran away ! Strange with the person that skinned the bear last time and left it at the entrance.That is not a good idea, because other animals can be attracted to that corpse by the mine entrance.Be careful out there please....Maybe dam up the front entrance a bit so that there is at least 4-5 inches of water always there in the mines length to prevent some animals settling in there at times.
Little bear action never hurt anyone...well almost.
It was nice for a change to be in a mine. Next time could you spice it up a notch and take dynamite and give us a proper showing?
Lol
How deep is the wince or do you know?
Not sure, well eventually be pumping it out to see.
SSSHHHHIIIIIIIIIITTS A BEAR!
Can anybody give me resonable ideas about what possible minerals would turn black/royal blue upon exposure to air once a rock is cracked open? I am seeing it often...this starts as a faint blue stain and darkens drastically after a few minutes. Most of this occurs in this maroon purple slate bedrock we have in alot of my area. Which where mineralized looks an awfull lot like jalpaite...
"Dead Bear Mine" is a great name for it. Or perhaps "Smokey Croaked Mining"

There is a corner where a dark bush motorcycle trail dumps out on to a sunny powerline road up in the nakusp area. 3 times on that corner i have stopped my bike to have a drink or put on sunglasses or something have ended up withing 50 feet of a huge male cinnamon grizzly. Had to be 700 lbs. Every time he was just sitting around, and couldn't care less about me.....I just backed away slow until i was far enough away to change my underwear.....2 crazy things the place he likes to sit on the road, there are dozens and dozens of empty shotgun shells all over the place Other thing is when up there with people I never see him, only when I am up there alone..........That little dip is called "Griz Gulch"
@@notsofresh8563 be careful.
That was a decade or more ago. These things happen when you live in the bush. Just be bear aware, never panic and back away slow. I used to wake up to black bears under the apple trees in my yard gorging on half fermented apples in the fall. We would try to keep the apples cleaned up to keep the bears away but once they knew where the trees were, they always came back. Meh, bears gotta eat too.
@@notsofresh8563 bear and mountain lions scare me.
Have y’all ever seen sulfides oxides so fast it off gasses or smokes?
Into the mouth of a giant i would of deffiantly been the one keeping look out from outside not many places to run if you were half way in and a bear comes roaring out pooh i wouldn't know what to do pretend I'm part of the wall maybe or pretend I'm another bear running the same way awesome vid thanks for sharing your adventures
I would have ran out screaming Bigfoot scared the s*** out of him
Do u carry eye protective glasses, gloves, dust mask and bear spray ? What if the bear comes back waiting for u to exit a cave
Oxide poisoning? I haven't heard of this? What is this of which you speak? Are we talking arsenopyrites in the water?? Or a similar chemical situation? I've never been caving.

Lol they always post what they find, obviously it was too great too post lol
