Great video. I like the slow-mo. Have you heard of the Sierra Blaster? I was thinking of getting one, you do t need a blasting certificate. Also, have you thought about using a shaker table?
I saw them use it on one of the gold rush shows I believe. Would have to be handy for making small separations in wall rock underground I'd imagine! Particularly in a little mine like this, where the thin reef has been taken out and the wall rock needs to be taken out to allow the drive to continue in. Currently fixing up a shaker table for use with my crushing plant. It's just a bit lower on the priority list at the moment though, because I need to keep the gold flowing in. Should be a good payday when I get the shaker going and re run all of my tailings finally!
The processing plant is coming along nicely. I read in another comment that the goal is to automate it, so the next goal will be the transfer of material from the jaw crusher to the chain mill and after that automate the feeding of the jaw crusher. One step at a time, one day at a time! Mark from Melbourne Australia
Thanks Mark! Seen as the Jaw is so much faster than the rest of the plant I plan to still manually feed it. Then take the ore and put it into a hopper up above the plant. I plan for the hopper to hold about 500kg. It will then automatically feel the mill with a vibratory feeder. So I should only have to visit the plant every few hours to re fill the hopper if I'm doing a crush larger than half a tonne. She's all slowly falling into place mate. Thanks for coming along on the adventure
@@TheGoldmansChannel I don't know that aiming to leave the plant running for several hours on it's own would be wise. I think that a more achievable goal would be to have it running while you are able to step back and do other tasks around the site would be the safer and more achievable goal at least at the start.
@@TheGoldmansChannel I watched the jaw crusher video last night. I would have suggested that you make the machine at home and then break it down into sub-assemblies for transport and installation. That would have made things easier for your Milwaukee grinder, that's for sure! The crusher certainly gets through the material quickly enough.
I've toyed around with quite a bit of automation back in my sparky days. So it won't be too tricky for me to get the whole thing running on its own for a few hours at a time. The plan will also be to have a few cameras setup at the plant so I can remotely monitor from my phone and get alerts if there are any faults so I can remotely shut it down also. I can't imagine too much going wrong if I slow the feed down a little bit though. Usually any issues within the plant are just caused by me feeding it too quickly 😝
I think I'll cross this one off the list for now Harry. It would be a fun one to visit with people looking to learn a bit about hard rock mining. Close by and easy rock to get out, but just isn't viable money wise with a crushing plant the size of mine.
My pleasure Jeff. Once the gold and ore is ground fine enough it escapes out the other end with the water and goes straight onto the rotating screen. Material fine enough to fall through the screen gets sent straight to the sluice and material to big still goes back around to the ball mill pick up again.
Hey Bryan 50kg for .19au I know the feeling.🤥 "Nothing to see here", next. The plant is really working well. the town In the first 5 seconds of the clip, is that Walhalla?
Sure is Jethro, short clip from last year when we were visiting there with our mining contractor mate. Hopefully get back there soon for more sampling. Can cross this little reef off the list though can't we 😆
Thanks Rodney, it's not a good result for me no. I need over twice that to make money on the micro scale like I am. But it's certainly not a bad result in the scheme of things. If my plant was 3 times the size it would be doable!
I dare you to make one video. I want you to make homemade strawberry ice cream and put gold sprinkles on it and share it with us. Start to finish the entire process of making homemade ice cream I will compromise and you can pick your own favorite flavor but mine is strawberry so that why i said that.
Haha, just changing things up a bit Apu. Standard length videos will resume next time, I just had a couple of spare hours up my sleeve the other day so did a quicky. 😆
some good looking Shiney in the pan mate .... keep'em coming and be safe out there
One step closer with every sample Hefe! Ripper nugs you guys got out of the drift yesterday by the way. You beauuttttyyyyy!
@@TheGoldmansChannel exactly...... yes my wife has the instincts for Gold ... can't wait to find the 5 ouncers
Pretty cool stuff and it's easy access
Thanks for the video 👍🤓✌️
My pleasure Gavin. Thanks for tuning in! 👌
Nicely set up brother the fact you built your system is awesome and pulling great gold even better
Thanks Matt! Can't wait to see how much my plant changes in the next 12 months. Fully autonomous is the goal!
@@TheGoldmansChannel heck yeah I'll be watching as you film it I really enjoy the whole self efficacy of those who can and do show the rest
cracka set up. love it
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback! Cheers 🫡
Woow. Good job
For 50kgs that wasn't too bad. 💪💪💪
I've had many much worse. It was a fun quick sample. 😁
Oresome work brother, next reef is 45g to the tonne!
I hope you're right Gary! I'm well overdue for a bonanza. 😝
Latest video just dropped Gary. 43g/tonne. You called it!!! 😆

Nice setup. Is worth going back and getting heaps more ? You'd have to start moving some waste rock by the look of it.

@@TheGoldmansChannel makes sense. Keep on looking.
Thanks for sharing, with the ball mill, the swingy arm thingy is in, how does the milled sample get out the exit?

I was wondering when you were going to post next. So that 3.79gms is that a good test sample for you?
