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.
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.
Love how you show the whole process! Great video! Cheers!
Looks good! I hope you guys do well!
hi thanks for sharing small scale mining operation....great vid ... mickey miner
some one needs to be running a darn grease gun wow
I would drive their gravel truck for a week for free, just to experience that level of mining.John V
great video, thanks :)
Holy crap thats awesome
Never seen lose bars on a grizzly before. Is that BC or the Yukon?
BC, on the Cariboo river.
Очень хорош стол зеленый, где приобрести.
Wow 💪💪💪💪💪how awesome
Love it!!!!
Machine Won"t Last long Without Grease !
You don't hear that squeaking? there is a reason for that shit.
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.
8 to 10 ounces? That's not much for the size of that operation. That washplant is huge.

ouch. An ounce per 250 yards is a claim you get off of. Gotta get at least an ounce per hundred.
