Hey thanks for taking us on the drive up the logging roads eh what a treat you drive em like I do I always want to see what around the next corner @7:28 what a treat
hey Bjarne I was wondering if the rock that was ribbon tied could have been a boundary marker ........in the summer you could possible get from where you parked into where the tailings are.........great adventure .....keep it up ....I enjoy you're spirit following our curious nature with a good dose of positivity ...........all the best in the New Year....Paul
Your phone with avenza will be just as accurate as a garmin. Here in Canada I think we are limited to a certain accuracy on consumer devices. The most accurate would to find the marked corner of the claim and run a compass line from it
Ya the ribbons are just marking where they took each sample from they grab a set amount from different points all over the dump to bulk test it I’ve seen that dun so that’s my guess there
If this claim proves viable than first option is to try to get an atv trail across the creeks. If not I’ll need to buy 1hr flight time to sling all the gear in. Probably $1500-2000 for that
You should collab with Jason from MBMMLLC. I bet he would run your samples and he's just across the border in Bellingham. An Assayer's fire assay is the best for getting values though especially if you commit to opening the mine.
merry Christmas buddy if you want some good advice or food for thought look up dan Hurd prospecting he finds some good gold all around bc hes one of the guys i watch when i want know something about gold mining and stuff like that.
What an adventure. Finds a blue jack. Uses a monkey wrench to fix it. For safety the bear killer is a pink shovel. The ruble pile is all about the same size. hum
Here an excerpt from an Assessment Report on the ore from the mine: The ore mineralogy consists of gold, commonly present as micron-sized inclusions in sulphides, or at sulphide grain boundaries. To the naked eye, ore is generally indistinguishable from waste rock. Due to the poor correlation between A u and C u in some A u skarns, the economic potential of a prospect can be overlooked if Cu-sulphide-rich outcrops are preferentially sampled and other sulphide-bearing or sulphide-lean assemblages are ignored. The mineralization in pyroxene-rich and garnet-rich skarns tends to have low Cu:Au (
@BjarneButler Gold tellurides are awesome!! Sylvanite and Calaverite are what I'm used to seeing. I used to live on a patent gold claim from 1849 out in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. It was called French Camp near Italian Bar. The different cultures and ethnicities grouped together in the frontier mostly because they spoke the same language. They had 300 men, a general store, a whorehouse and a miniature railroad on the property.
@@BjarneButler Definitely a lot of fun finding artifacts and gold with the metal detector down there. Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting all your videos. I'm an arborist and carpenter by trade and I greatly admire your ability to hike that large displacement saw around all day long on extreme terrain. You set a great example for the rest of us and I love learning tips and tricks from other professionals
I don’t no if this will help you but the hi grade part is where the courts meet the host rock there is a lare between kinda that’s corroded & rotten looking green is good copper anyway when it’s all liquid the gold falls there to the host rock & most gold mines have a way lower amount of gold in the centre of the vain so if you can find the vain to see what it looks like where the courts meets the host rock ether way that’s always the higrade from when it was liquid & some times big courts vains because 80+ % is in that lare & all the rest has 20% that’s what they must of did maybe they just took the hi grade lare of the vain the ones you have where the courts is meeting the host rock is what I would get & corroded courts crumply & grab one solid courts to see WHATS in the middle GRATE VIDEO THO WHATA TREAT IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE THE OLD GOLD LODE MINE AT NANAIMO LAKES REACH OUT ITS GOT A VAIN WITH FREE GOLD (visible) in it still its rare to see the gold in the courts until you crush it PS Jason’s mine in Washington he had a old timer who worked it & sed he never seen gold in any of the Or until Jason showed him but the gold was there
Oh & I think the ribboned rocks are marking where the geologists where taking there samples I’ve seen that they take a amount from that area they do samples all over the pile & they crush a even amount

Another great video!!! You make things so relaxing with your patience!!!!
Merry Christmas pal, I was going to suggest checking our Jason from Mount Baker mining company as well, but others have done it already.
Ya the ribbons are just marking where they took each sample from they grab a set amount from different points all over the dump to bulk test it I’ve seen that dun so that’s my guess there
Merry Christmas and thanks for the adventure
How do you plan on moving equipment, generator, fuel, tools, ore, etc to and from the site with the bridge out?

I think you have some Leaverite deposits there......
You mean leaverite there ?... lol
My Grandfather taught me about Leaverite many years ago. 🙂
Great adventure. Very nasty day, though! Good luck with finding the gold.
Merry Christmas Bjarne!
Merry Christmas and take care...

totally getting a CCR copyright!!!"""lol
Yup, enjoy the video while it's still up!
This kinda turned into a horror movie right after you crossed that first creek....the audio...😂
Ya that old GoPro has got to go.
merry Christmas buddy
if you want some good advice or food for thought look up dan Hurd prospecting he finds some good gold all around bc hes one of the guys i watch when i want know something about gold mining and stuff like that.
Jason Gaber from MBMMLLC is really good as well. He runs a lot of Dan's samples through his mill.
@anisenkrill6179 True that i really enjoy watching a lot of his content, he shows some really cool stuff

Lots of arsenopyrite?

@ wow lots of history there. Would be fun to metal detect that area

Merry christmas bjarne becareful that could of been a meth cooking spot from the looks of it
Turn off ur music or someone is going to copy right claim ur video. Especially C.C.R.

GRATE VIDEO THO WHATA TREAT IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE THE OLD GOLD LODE MINE AT NANAIMO LAKES REACH OUT ITS GOT A VAIN WITH FREE GOLD (visible) in it still its rare to see the gold in the courts until you crush it
PS Jason’s mine in Washington he had a old timer who worked it & sed he never seen gold in any of the Or until Jason showed him but the gold was there
