i’m a “girly” teenage girl from the UK and i never expected to get so interested in gold mining, but your videos are truly something special!
thank you for making such great content. it is very informative and also i find it to be a satisfying and strangely relaxing process! to do so much hard work using some age old methods, and mining gold from your own home turf. it’s admirable!
There's a little bit of placer gold in some rivers in Wales. And more in parts of Scotland.
Probably not much in the way of discoverable, auriferous quartz vein exposures in the UK -- what with the place having been pretty darn thoroughly prospected over the last couple _thousand_ years. 😊 ... probably even longer than that, considering Phoenicians poked around the islands looking for tin.
@@cacogenicist our whole island is gold 😉
@@cacogenicist but yes, i wonder how much the romans exhausted our mines. i know they mined a lot of lead and some gold here.
That's some nice looking material! As someone who's from WA, thank you for keeping mining alive here. I only recently got into panning a couple years ago and can only imagine having an operation like you have and finding that much gold :D
Stone material that contains gold...! Very useful and informative... great 🇮🇩💎⚒️⛏️🙏👍👍
This was very informative, one of the most informative that you have done , you are getting more exciting as you go. I think you and Dan Hurd are the best,, I wish you two the best, and keep up the good work. Ps do you have a family , I know that it might harm them to talk about them, but all of your subscribers would love to know a little about you, your history and family.
As a metal fabricator, tradesman and metal sculptor I am like you Jason always learning and expanding. I sure appreciate the way you experiment and are not afraid of failure. It is from these type of teaching experiences that really expand and inevitably leads to less failure and more expansive discovery. I see you hike those mountains and I am grateful as I am unable and I can do those things I used to through your sharing here. Thanks and keep up the good, hard work and whatever you do, don't over do it! Too late, lol!
you are not alone.
I second that, everything!
Very thankful.
This is one of the most informative videos. You are showing exactly what the high grade stuff looks like. This usually requires a lot of experience.
I seem to recall throwing rocks that look just like that into Skate Creek, which runs off Mt Rainier. I'm going camping. Then, up the creek without a paddle.
It's not high grade. It actually quite low.
Thank you Jason your videos help me unwind after a long day
A couple of really outstanding pieces there! I've been collecting ores for a long time and will be sure to bid! Good video
Do you run the slurry from the tile saw?
Hey jason! Awesome content man. Hey do you think you could do a video smelting out and separating gold and platinum from each other? The river i have to sluice is full of flour gold and apparently some free platinum too. Id assume any platinum would be flour too.
Ive been saving all my cons after i pull my gold out and had this thought one day id like to try and see whats in there still.
Amazing! Love your videos and the educational content and the way you present is spot on too!👍🏻
Nice video. Thanks for making it. Always interesting to see what you find.
So cool seeing that stuff under the scope wow!
Thanks jason that was cool, good luck with your new mine!
Does the over flow carry out any gold ?
I ran a bag of Jason’s ore this spring through my setup and recovered what amounts to 64g/t for that sample (10kg)
That is crazy, I did some work for Barrick and we were happy with 8g/ton, lol
Do you collect and smelt all the material from the kerf? ...... And you answered my question as I was typing. Beautiful ore you've got there Jason.
Just want to tell you ty sincerely I'm watching you video when your drilling in your gold mine and I'll never go down in a mine because of my health brother u put me right there it was a pleasure watching you ty keep up the great hard work don't let the art of mining dye bro you are man
That is awesome samples and a lot of gold in this set . I can tell this set is going to sell for a high price. More then I want to spend . 👍
Always love the content Jason, I get pretty good gold but I'm learning hard rock from you. Thank you and keep it up
Hi Jason just wanted to your channel is awesome and you do a great job. I do have an idea that might help for getting your bags of ore down the second set of chutes. Try using some feathering strips of semi rigid plastic on the inside of the chute about 6 to 8 feet above where the bag lands to the ground. It might save some time too. Hope it helps, and thanks again for all the great content.
Luar biasa,material yang sangat sangat berkuwalitas,pengolahan yang didukung alat yang bagus sungguh anda sangat luar biasa jason,salam hormat saya sebagai junior yang berlokasi dinegara indonesia,sehat dan panjang umur untukmu senior jason🙏🙏🙏
While I enjoy all your adventures , This is something I have definately been waiting for. Thank youuu Cheers
Love these videos Jason, thanks for uploading!
As a retired plasterer Jason, you really should be wearing a mask when breathing all of that silica dust, as it is now starting to be recognized as the new asbestos. I didn’t as a young man and now my lungs are jacked up. I couldn’t wear a mask and safety glasses because it would steam up. So I didn’t wear a mask because glasses were mandatory
MINE TO,,, 20 YEARS IN HVAC
No dust. All wet cut
@@Fluckor666not quite. After the ball mill he’s mixing the dust.
Yeah.... It's been mentioned a few times on this channel but for some reason it just keeps happening. 🙄☠️
Not that he's perfect but having watched a lot of his videos I will say Jason seems to be pretty good about masking up in most situations which is reassuring
Love you vids its so interesting to follow your adventures and everything related to getting the gold out of that ore.
Not asking you tell us, but I am curious what folks will shell out for spec ore vs "known quantity" pay dirt?
Sooo many recovery variables... Thank goodness it's only 650 mi. to Dahlonegh from here lol.😛
I'd love to see you scale up the smelts and watch you recover greater amounts
I have zero experience in underground mining but I’d love to come up for a week or 2 and just volunteer my time and learn from you, I’m 6’2” 240 and pretty strong. Would be like a cool vacation for me.
Funny how being at the front line half way around the world in Ukraine i still find time to watch your videos. If I make it out of here it would be awesome to be able to bring my son up there to visit
How do you have internet
The Ukraine war is a giant L.A.R.P.
@zaccorter78 Musk gave most of them starlink access for comms purposes but they still have internet with it
Also Vodafone and less so life cell still works in most places unless EW is working the area. The biggest problem is making sure not more than 2 or 3 people use the internet because they will cover the area with artillery.
@@paulthompson3304 come on out here we can use someone to play pop a mole with the Russians. Wouldn't last an hr on the front probability get yourself killed in Poland talking crap about something you know nothing about.
I wish I could come work for you. I wouldn't be able to do anything underground. I'd make a good topside guy. Or used to be a good ground guy. I have MS.. my luck you guys go down in the mine. I'm topside.. forget you guys are down there all together. Then, I wounder off at the next shiney thing 😂. 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks from Australia
Are u planning on selling any of your Ore out of the new mine online
I did some calculations. Bismuth oxide consists of around 19% by weight of oxygen. So your 75g of bismuth oxide is actually just 66g of pure bismuth. Still not a great yield after the smelt, but better than expecting it to be 75g.
I think it would be fun to dissolve a couple samples in boiling lye to see what kind of native gold clusters are present inside the quartz.
Jason
Your crusher and shaker table is the right setup for a wide variety of locations. I am sure your equipment sales are the bulk of your business. But your videos are a forever experiment, to keep following your videos we or I at least need a solid plan or business model for locations, types of ore, and how to sample and process. What's worth it and what is not. I understand your location has a lot of impact and constraints on what you are doing but there is a lot of country out there that has way more potential for your equipment than where you are now. I have seen from past videos that your mobile setup could process materials anywhere.
After you see that much gold on both sides of a cut, have you ever wondered how much gold is removed by the saw blade? it'd be interesting to pan out the rock dust, assuming the water doesn't wash away into your drainage field
I should have watched more before posting! 😆
I tend to do the same thing...lol
@@jthor99we all do it!! 😂 I was about to post a timestamp of where he starts talking about that gold for you but I read the comments first and saw that you responded to your own comment acknowledging you already knew!! 😂🤣
Yeah I just put a similar comment and I'm too lazy to go delete it now lol
Dang Jason awesome stuff you got there. Giving me gold fever!!
Great video. Where did the collector metal go?
To me, this is one of your best videos! But there all good!
Hi Jason.
Are you going to do a video on smelting the sludge from your oil based rock saws?
Have you thought about dissolving the quartz so you can see the gold structure in the ore absent of the quartz?
FYI, on My computer the email was blocked by the subtitles. I enjoy your YT Contant. So keep up the great content.
Can you please do an experiment on Carlin type ore deposit Ore processing with the charcoal and Electroid plating process for Carlin type ore processing
Hey Jason! why dont you melt up the settled cuttings form the saw? there must be a bit of gold in there no?
Interesting difference between the panning andcsm like. I sure wish I had
Would be very interested in 1g sample smelting procedures!
Ben fun to see what's in your rock saw slurry?
When I saw the title I imagined your tech startup company where your ship large quantities of raw ore to our houses
Yay! An update!
I’ve seen where some people have soaked corks like that in an acid and it comes out with a web of gold. Have you ever tried anything like that?
Is the grey metallic stuff Antimony? It looks like what I have here in a mine in Australia
@Jason, how often to you see pyrite alongside the gold? I did some scouting at a placer claim and found stones with visible pyrite but also some speckles that look like gold and haven't oxidized. The rocks look like a quartz and galena-rich mix.
The money shot! ❤ the ore samples!
You have to compensate for the oxygen the bismuth oxide is losing when you smelt it. You are reducing the oxide to pure bismuth so you should expect to get less collector metal back. You can figure out the exact amount by subtracting the molecular weight of the oxygen in the bismuth oxide.
You also don't want to cool it with water because you can cause weird flow patterns etc. which stops it from sinking to the bottom.
It would be interesting to build a centrifugal cone mold that spins at as you pour to force the heavier gold to the tip. 4 sideways cones connected by a funnel that spins would give 4 buttons without splashing metal and maintain the balance.
Assuming Bismuth III Oxide he's losing about 20% of the mass from the reduced oxygen
Taking @@preauxtip's calculation of 20% oxygen means he should have recovered 60g bismuth, but only got what? 34? So seems like close to half still went missing
Do you capture the dust when you are slabbling rocks? It presumably contains gold that was removed by the saw.
Aaand then he answers the question. Lol
Was that Dan Hurd's ringtone on your cellphone I heard while you were smelting?
id pop open the top of furnace and tap it with a long metal bar for like ten seconds to force the metals to sink at the bottom then put lid on and keep smelting it till its ready
I want to pan your tile saw tray!
Gotta remember to email you guys about sending some of my concentrated black sands for a test smelt. All the gold from the glacial moraine I pan is very fine flat flakes and flour gold, much more may be hidden within hematite grains. It'd be good to have someone with a lot of experience smelt a 250g or so sample and see if it's worth me holding onto them as I'm panning my way through the richest part of the moraine.
Please do a vid explaining matte and speiss. I have an ancient (bronze age) copper ingot that is approx 20% As 20% Sb 15% Ni and 3 % Co can't explain such high concentrations. It has silvery metallic lustre and is very brittle.
add some Calcium Floride or fluorspar, very aggressive on silica, thins your melt allowing heavy metals to mobilize and combine with your litharge or bismuth and sink down.
Wow those are nice. It would look cool to put some of those in some acid to dissolve some of quartz and make more gold visable.
5:30 Look at that chunky little piece just below the surface. Those are nice little specimens.
Would like to see a video melting the runoff of the tile saw
GOOD JOB!
It would be cool to dissolve the quartz in some of those visible gold specimens in acid😊
Will you sample some material i have .i have tons of yellow but tons of lead mixxed in need to find a flux recipe to use for it
Hi Jason. Make sure you pan out your saw mud. 😂
You should try smelting the stuff from the wet saw just for fun could be interesting 😉 😊
One of these days Jason will buy a BBQ lighter so he doesn't have to lose all of the hair on his hands every time he lights that furnace 🤣
Legend has it when Jason @mbmmllc first walked out of the woods he was carrying a fish in his mouth and only spoke big foot. 😂😂 now he uses the fire to stay a hairless ape. 😂😂😂😂
But that moment of lighting is worth the wait and not for the faint of heart.
Well as least he wouldn't have to shave lol
LMAO
Dear sir white powder is falling down in Aqua Regia what is it i don't understand
Question: have you ever panned-out the grit from the tile-saw?
Probably not. If you find visible gold, it isn't hard to liberate it from the host rock, and you don't sell pay dirt or slab samples. Have you heard of fools gold? 💰🪙
@@antmantony2642 "Fools Gold" is iron pyrite. It's a VERY different crystal structure than gold. Iron pyrite is cubic in form and will oxidize out away from the gold.
@mikeford963 If it was that different, it wouldn't fool people. I'm just giving my opinion from experience 🤷. Anyway, if you don't look, you'll never find it.
@@antmantony2642 It fools people who don't know the difference. And agreed!!
Smelt the saw concentrates?!
how often do you clean out your saws?
Since the kerf is pretty big on a tile saw, soon we will see the dregs in the saw basin run? AND.... if I had waited just 1 minute more, you answered that.
I see specks of silver shinning, is that silver or galena?
Just love how everybody that knows how to pan always uses the smooth side of those green gold pans and never the step side. 😮
Our fine gold has been xrf tested to 97%, 3% silver. Is it possible to remove the 3% silver by smelting to make the gold 9999’s? If so are you able to do a video please
G'day Jason, what is the name of the pulveriser you are using in this vid?
From Indonesia, Subscribed. Good luck Bro, happy to watch all yours here, thanks
Can you please tell us EXACTLY what the silver gray mineral is ? so one can identify gold trace minerals please.
You're still 3 months away from getting back to the mine? It's May in the rest of the world... do you still have a deep snow pack up there?
Is it more in consumables than the cost of the recovered gold?
Do you process the sludge from the cutting saw
Ignore last should waited to end of clip
Do you recover the gold that's been cut
Jason do you ever find visible gold in gossan??????
I am wondering if you need a bigger cone mold. You have a bunch of videos of overflowing material, I am wondering if you are losing some metal that way. I am not an expert, I have stayed at a holiday inn, Lol. Just thinking outloud.
You gotta pan the saw dust, I’m sure there is fine gold in it
Excellent video Jason thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother
The 2x speed rooster 😂
Lmfao yep 🤣 😂
Good content
Living the dream!
Isn't about time you run the sludge from your rock/tile saws through your table to see how much gold there is in it?
10:00 nice!
You should sell me the sludge from your grinder saw!!!
When you use the clip on microscope; try pouring a thin layer of Hydrofluoric acid in a container and setting that face showing gold in the acid. Leave it for a week or so. pull it out, wash it
with water and look at it again. HF will eat the quartz, letting the gold become more visible.
Jason did you wear your mask while mixing😂😂😂😅😅
Given that gold is an unreactive metal I’d very much like to know what the white quartz is discoloured grey with.
Every time you light the kiln it give me the willies........whoomp! 😝
Tired of running the 83? Try getting a smaller drill. It will still push an 1 3/8" hole very quickly. Maybe a 63, works better on my back. Also had to get a 250 com compressor for my 3" piston drill efficiently. The 63 will run well on a 185.
