Amazing finale Jason!!! The mineoperator team had an incredible time mining and exploring with you and Dan Hurd. More adventures to come!
Did you guys see his video yesterday? Any interest in working that location? You guys seem to be clever and focused enough to figure out how to safely and efficiently access that 17oz/t ore he found
@@krakhedd I did. Incredible ore grade. I want to get eyes on it to see how to engineer that beast. Let's see what Jason says. If so, you know we'll be filming 🎥 that!
@@mineoperator I'm curious about the lower sections he couldn't safely access too, something drew the old timers deeper! I wonder if that vein shows elsewhere, maybe even find a spot where it swells in size
Safety above all though!! The last thing any healthy person wants to see, is somebody getting hurt or killed in a mining incident
Good luck!! Very much looking forward to more of you guys' videos!
You guys have a very nice operation.
@@nunyabisnass1141 thanks! Years of hard work there. We finally can run some ore.
39:30 I don't understand this point of the process??? where do those roughly over 1/2" crushed rocks go?? there is still all gold in them. .. If they go UP the conveyer?? Where does the power go??
Why is this DeJa'Vu?
46:17 to skip over the old video and get to the few minutes of new content 😂
Seems to me as somebody who knows nothing about mining there's an awful lot of fiddle farting around with their setup
Too much water volume on shaker table for fine gold?
I think the material is handled way ways to much not worth it
@58:25 "... for a 100 pounds it´s not gigantic but..." looking at that 0.25g minuscule gold bead, I assume that you are always a very optimistic person !
Well, he is in the business of selling gold recovery systems and all
0.25 grams per 100 pounds is 5 grams per ton. Assuming 80% gold in the metal and 80% recovery after mining and processing leaves 3 grams times $65 or so per gram or approximately $200 per ton. Mining and equipment costs will eat all that up. They need to find better grade ore...They're missing something somewhere for all the work that was done in the old days at this site. Probably need 10 grams per ton or more with all the labor shown in this video to have a discovery / mine.
Jason,
Please help me with a answer. Im confused about the term mineralization. When you have a hydrothermic quarts vane in the host rock and it has minerals in it, is it mineralized? What is the term for it before its oxidized? I mostly hear it called mineralization when it's been heavily oxidized and looks like heavy rust. I was sitting on the beach at Deception pass looking at rocks when that thought went bouncing through my head.🤔
Why do you always recycle the same videos in your most current videos? Always having to fast forward though 90 percent of your content
Hates off to those guys. When i imagine gold miners this is what those people im imagining look like! Proper graft that i hope they hit the jackpot.
They have a really nice operation, and like how economically minded the set up for recovery is done. Judging from the dust layer on the sofa and stuff, it doesn't look like they take many breaks. They definitely could use some tweaking on the equipment. 😂 Thanks Jason... 👍🏻
ALL THAT FOR 3 GRAMS ? id rather buy paydirt lol.
Thanks for Bringing these videos to us 😊
If you put a piece of cardboard under the crucible it should help keep it from sticking to the firebrick
Jason has the wrist strength of a grizzly bear, he just lifts the brick when he pours.
Cardboard inside a 2000 degree furnace? Thanks for your words of wisdom😊
@@woonsockettruthseeker9009 The cardboard turns into a layer of carbon that prevents the sticking.
@@sucheinheityeah, it's just like putting flour on a rolling pin.
Someone's been watching bigstackd
For those curious gold today (06/25/2023) is worth $62/gram at the high price. Given 4 guys extracting we will say a ton a day to get 3-5 grams of gold doesn’t seem profitable considering your running costs alone consume the value of the gold extracted.
I love the show but man it’s got to be worth the time unless it’s just a hobby and you are looking for a tax write off.
All these guys do it for a hobby. I’m pretty sure the mine operator guys all have day jobs.
@@drewski5730 I would hope they do! I just wanted people to know they aren’t doing this for the money. They are doing it because they love it.
They'd need to buy a slusher, jackleg, and some powder mags to make it profitable.
@@drewski5730Maybe but if your making enough money from mining who needs a day job...
what you guys did for those kids is priceless thank you . the heavy hitters have there back. great job
You ought to put these guys onto your mine from yesterday's video.....they'd prolly not only leap at 17oz/t ore, but, they'd also quickly figure out how to do it safely too I'm sure
I love your work but I’m gonna be a little critical.
I’ve watched all of your excursion gathering videos, even the ones with Dan, reluctantly, and would really like to watch your new videos without all the replay.
Link to your old vids for those who didn’t see them.
Thanks Jason 🙏
Amen.
Sure hope this trend of re-playing old videos and calling it "new" ends soon. Not subscribed to see the same videos over and over again...
You can just skip ahead, we’re not on cable TV anymore 🤠
I agree 👍 💯
@@TheGayestPersononTH-cam You can also just post an 8 minute video and refer a link to the first one. 😘
Nice, i called 0.3g. you're extraction was pretty close to theirs, but working with small samples like your 100lbs makes the test much more sensetive to errors. Which means you did a pretty damn good job getting that 0.257 out of 100lbs.
Purple quartz is heavy in gold?! There's TONS of purple quarts just all over the ground in spokane.
Thank you for getting the buckets under the jaw crusher. I feel better now. LOL. Love your work Jason.
3 grams per ton?! It’ll cost more than the gold is worth to extract it! How are these guys planning on not going bankrupt?!! Did you warn them Jason? Their life savings are going to get burned up and they’ll all be destitute!!
I agree, 3/4 grams per ton is horrendous for an operation like that,
@@darrenbooker8144 Agreed. I operate a mechanized mine and wouldn't be particularly interested in 0.1opt Au unless it also came with 5-10opt silver. Bear in mind we can drill, blast, and muck 25-50 tons in a day if I've got all the necessary equipment running smoothly.
These guys need to figure out how to mechanize their haulage. My recommendation would be a small slusher and revising the station geometry slightly to allow slushing directly into the skip. If they're willing to deal with the added complication and overhead of explosives, going to drill-and-blast with a jackleg and sinker drill could get them into the realm of profitability.
Always a good day when Jason drops a video! 🎉
Did some bronze casting in the past using a #10 crucible and when pouring out the molten charge it took complete inversion and a minute or two to allow all the contents to drain out. That was bronze and hope gold pours out more readily otherwise you may be accumulating some metal in the rough interior surface. Just a thought.
سلام قناتكم جيدة نشكركم ونريد توضيحا اكثر حول الطرق اليدوية السهلة لمعرفة اىخامات هل هي حاملة للمعدن الثمين ام لا
Geez. Just imagine doing that for a couple of decades without breathing protection...
Love how you replay the original video, so we can refresh our memories before you do the smelting and finish the project.
Great video Jason!
I remember watching the original video, fun stuff. Thumbs up
Awesome video Jason. I love you're vids, also I'm fascinated with the smelting process. It's interesting stuff.
Jason your the man. i love watching your videos. i really like your way of story telling and i find you so entertaining. so keep up the good work sir
That old jaw crusher sounds like it’s working on rice crispies. Those open flywheels are scary
❤ the adventures! Selling the crush to a refiner is an excellent idea.
Watching this reminds me of all the early Spanish prospecting which took place in these desert areas. Lots of history.
3:55 mine gremlin spotted 😂
Love to watch all you guys work
This is oddly satisfying to watch ...I love mining
Great video Jason 👍
Thanks Jason,
I just got a new 32" 4K monitor, so it's the closest thing
to being there with you.
I'm sorry I never had a chance to meet you, I'm only 10 minutes away from your Bellingham operation,
but after seeing how hard you work at all your endeavors,
you don't need any PIA 'S bugging you:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Now I’m going to have to check out some ore I found😊
Great video Jason, I could watch this mining and processing all day.
YOU MUST FIX THE JAW CRUSHERS EYES , FOR GOODNESSES SAKE!
How is a couple of grams per day worth all that equipment and a crew of laborers??
approx how much does a shaker table cost?
I'll send you an email
I love diggin rocks. Hello from Maine.
Life is to short, i want to be a Gold miner.
Now u know why gold is soooo expensive 🎉
That baffle system water recovery is awesome.
Good stuff guys... the purple line looks good.
Cool, the editing just keeps getting better and better.
Add time stamps, most of us have seen the first part.
You can scroll
@@danonly7 thanks tips 👍
@hippie.matt. A lot haven't seen that part. (Like me) Anyone that has used TH-cam know that they can just ff to the next part. Not brain surgery! 👍
@@GoodForYou4504 no shit captain obvious, but the people that watch his videos keep seeing the same video from the prior. We know how to fast forward.
@@njd4291Yeah, that's what I said... the channel makes good videos and people can watch as they like. Skip ahead if that is what you want. Don't tell creators that they are bad in the comments. He's doing great and who are we to criticize? His videos are a fun watch even if you have to skip forward. Others appreciate it. Don't be selfish.
NOW THAT WAS A GOOD VIDEO,,
Ha did you see that gremlin infested chute ..I'd be careful after midnight ...
Excellent Jason I was wondering when you were going to post the results from your visit to that mine six stars
Sorry Jason but I'm very much a realist.. That was an exercise in mental masturbation.. The payback vs. the cost of getting there from here is not economically sound.. They could make better money working at McDonalds...
Could an operation like that possibly make a profit? This was only the high grade stuff and the final amount of gold seems so insubstantial.
44:15 .. Another thing that puzzles me?? .. If there's the same amount of gold in the fines and midligns?? Why bother taking the time to sort fines??
If you put cardboard between your crucible and flaw brick they won't stick together.
Your holding out....there is know way it was that small... sorry truth is better.. I'm not an expert but I know one thing you don't need to add all that you did on the fist melt...and the more you melt takes away from the purity...but you can't bull chit a bull chiter😂
Jason baby! How often do you dredge out that catch basin from which you recycle all the water? How do you dispose of that waste? It's gotta mostly be sand, yes?
When I first started watching your videos, you would dry the cons before smelting, Why don't you do that anymore before you add your amendments for smelting, instead of guessing how much water is in it?
8.19.23. Chad looks like Chachi from Happy Days! 😂
It’s a nice setup but the mom part of me is saying “hard hats, goggles, guards on the spinning wheels, etc. otherwise interesting.
They should bag up that wet sand and sell it as playground sand. Make a profit off the waste.
I think history channel trained me to watch stuff like this. I love it.
What kind of tools you guys use to deal with the bedrock/hard rock ??
Good effort mate! Thanks for sharing!
Hi jason how can I contact you to share gold mining operation in Australia?
Always enjoy your videos, thank you!
Круто😎 🤟♨️
You didn't put cardboard under your crucible so it doesn't stick
Amazing video! Love it, all the info 👌
Purple Stuff--- Specular Hematite or Specularite
❤ mineing good stuff thanks
Add Jet-Dry to the pond where they get to water from in the dirt to fall out of it
nice how are you going with the board grind tailings
What type of drills are those?
36:44 my lungs hurt just watching this.
A cloth rake, a polyurethane mop.
Great love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. P.S. if you ever need a soon to be retired guy let me know. Alabama Bob S.
22:00 Lol anyone else squint when the big dust cloud went by
I look forward to the dust lol
HELICOPTER GOLD!

Thank you
Interesting as your content is, it's not that interesting that you need to keep feeding the same stuff to us. The first 46 minutes are a copy of a recent video, which most followers have seen, and those whom are interested but have not could go and find. Your channel is the only one I've seen to date that passes off recycled content as new. The recycled content makes up just over 80% of the video. I've no idea why you think it's a good idea, but I can't think I'm the only one thinking of avoiding your content...
Are you a bitter old man? Great video, perhaps you need to check yourself or get out in the field and start hard rock mining.😎👍
👍
👍
Another great video. Thanks Jason!
