Crushing & Panning Gold From An Oxidized Outcrop!

We extracted high grade gold ore from a gossanous, conglomerate outcrop, crushed the ore with a portable rock crusher and panned in a nearby creek to remove the coarse gold! Very high grade gold was found for the amount we panned out, loads of iron sulfides found with the gold.

I'm addicted to watching your videos with captioning on! Today's gems are when you're running the crusher. It says "applause " and "music" LMAO! Music to a gold prospectors ear, but the applause only comes if the soft yellow metal hits the stage!

[@911mining]

Lol, KZbin captioning doesn't recognize a lot of words or the way people say them know what you mean 😁

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

😂😂 your mining partner and I, both have the same methods for carrying a bucket down the hill. I love his style 😂🤠

[@zviadimeqvabishvili3944]

Thank you!

[@RTLichable]

It's true, a "clay layer" usually does keep pacers on top the layer, however, I got fooled once by a clay layer on North Clear Creek, just downstream from Black Hawk, CO. Turned out (after watching a KZbin video post a few years later) a guy found decent gold BELOW the clay layer coincidentally at the exact same spot I had prospected!

[@Coltn3125]

Same at barkerville way back when everyone was working the river. Everyone else dug to the blue clay layer and stopped when they got good gold. Billy Barker dug down past the clay and at 52 feet struck the riches that made the area famous.

[@beckyelliott2871]

Just missed a good opportunity for getting a good days’ pan of gold - bummer! Just a little deeper....!

[@911mining]

We test the clay, while there was a little less than above.

[@matthewsgoldenadventures3330]

The creek I work the bedrock is a highly oxidized and crumbles pretty easily if it was you would crush it up and see if that was were the gold was coming from because I have never had a pan that didn't have at least 2 colors in it and I've worked the same spot for 4 months now and it still produces plenty of gold every time I go down there please let me know what you think

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Nice video, cool little crusher and good stuff to crush!

[@dewasugiarta1466]

This very educational..thanks.

[@phillipja2010]

Very educational. You guys are genius! Learnt heaps about sulfides and oxidation, but need more info. In this video which rock ore did you crush? Does this ore hold the most gold in the conglomerate outcrop? I couldnt see quartz in the outcrop.

[@bobcansee]

That was real good. Love your adventures!!

[@stickmanismyhero5316]

Loving all ur geology lessons good sir

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

Some of that material has insane oxidization! Have you ever explored any of the streams that feed Lake Cowichan? Or the Cowichan river?

[@911mining]

Yes a long time ago we haven't found any which are gold bearing. Well a few but not very rich.

[@anthonylagran2868]

You always have an informative videos... Got so many ideas.. how about the quartzs scattered in the river loaded a lot of pyrites.. is it a good ore? Thanks

[@matthewmartinez1091]

Hey brother I got some information for you the grade that you found is really high grade but what it looks like to me is whenever you find ore that has purple in it it's either gold mixed with aluminum or gold mixed with tin but you can't really pan that you would have to extract it by dipping it into aqua regia and precipitating it out if it doesn't precipitate out then you have to drop a piece of copper in there and then start over again but it'll work

[@chrissaucier9386]

Hey at least it's still there to collect later !

[@911mining]

Lol

[@engineng8916]

You have made a special mechanism for the spiral machine. do you have a detailed video about this

[@cobia1794]

As much as you sample during the year, what do you figure you capture for just sampling? Just curious.. Or is it catch and release..lol..

[@911mining]

A lot is catch and release most very fine gold. I would say this year from sampling maybe 3-5 ounces. Not including mineral deposits that's just placer.

[@cobia1794]

@@911mining That's not too shabby...

[@toomaskotkas4467]

Were the oldtimers looking for this kind of material too or only for the quartz veins?

[@911mining]

They would look for this, there area has hoards of gold and iron deposits which are known all discovered from logging this ones a new one they logged about 6 months ago and cut into dozens of exposures.

[@MannyScoot]

Nice video and gorgeous location......

Hi Justin,niiiice vid,and just the same stuff im finding here,on coastal creeks,no gold YET,but high hopes.So many times got my hands burned with that sulphides,can you tell me if im wrong suposing where oxide water doesnt burn,it comes from iron,and where it boil my hand,it comes from pyriye,acid increasing caused by sulfure in ot,is this right or i am wrong? Thank you,veeery nice vid.

You're right

Ahhhhhhhh so there is some Gold in them there hills...nice little Rock crusher,where can I get one??..eventually I'll learn some of the geological names of the surrounding rocks..it's kinda hard when my head is a rock 🤪

[@911mining]

We have a link in the description for the angle grinder crusher there is also one for a chainsaw

[@engineng8916]

how much grams did u find? and are the rocks quarts?

[@aurtisanminer2827]

Holy crap, that little rock crusher is cool!

[@kurtdiegel7430]

Can I basically crushed any rocks or quartz in a gold bearing area and try to get gold out of it?

[@911mining]

Not always, sulfide bearing samples which contain gold in the sulfides are a little trickier, without the proper refining equipment you wouldn't get full recovery. Crushing is always a good test for free mill gold but you can also miss gold bearing sulfides.

[@JayDubb3BCT]

What exactly is sulfides?

[@911mining]

Sulfide minerals, are a combination of iron and sulfur. As an example, iron pyrite is a portion iron and a portion sulfur, chalcopyrite is copper, iron sulfur, galena is lead, silver, iron, sulfur. Sulfides often contain valuable elements that make them ore or rocks worth mining for there content. There are hundreds of different sulfide mineral combinations.

[@loyalkuhn5778]

Looks like the crusher was doing it's job but how did those big chunks get through the classifier? Must have been Miner Magician Fast Fingers... Not a bad return for the time you spent, although it might have been quicker without the escaping bucket of panning material - I know because I've had the same thing happen on a steep wet slope as well. Good video !! Thanks for the trip and keep the videos coming !!

[@911mining]

Lol I always find a piece or two sneaks through the classifier some how 🤷‍♂️

[@mxmech9128]

Is that a herk sticking out at about 1:50s in?

[@devarskinnee8760]

Thats dryed blood in there from some giant creatures of long ago,some sea creatures that settled into the Earth after the flood.

[@GR19611]

So the white clay layer is decomposed bedrock that the conglomerate layer is sitting on.?

[@911mining]

A small compact gravel/clay layer mix We have tested it there are some sulfides but little gold. The layer above the oxidized Conglomerate is were all the good stuff is

[@KGoldhunter]

Amazing very good, good lucky

[@engineng8916]

hi friend! Does the spiral machine have chain at the end or standard spiral head?

[@RichardRoger1966]

That's an amazing little portable crusher.

[@RichardRoger1966]

How long does a battery last?

[@911mining]

About 25 or 30 min of straight constant crushing, no stops, we have a few spares, we used 1.25 battery life for this test.

At 11:50 look at the rock u r leaning on as you pan...... what is that on the bottom of it ..... does anyone see what I see ???????

[@911mining]

Just before 11:50 you mean, the rock in question I didnt look to closely at but I know it's got a calcite vein on the side.

[@sandman4thewoke121]

It’s a black rock on your left with a vein on the bottom it looks like gold, but what do know it’s at 11:50

Yes that's a calcite vein, it's a little oxidized from slight mineral content.

[@ronvi4539]

Would not the larger gold be trapped in the clay layer? Just a thought>>>>

[@911mining]

On top of the clay layer you c as n find some but your matrix in the Conglomerate holds more.

[@PingerProspecting]

Sweet video. So what is the lesson? Crush or don't crush !!!!

[@911mining]

Depends, if your doing a small operation your better to just run material and get placer gold out of the matrix, if your sending to a refinery or knew how to seperate gold from sulfides crushing would give you a higher yield.

[@pixelspring]

i am wondering if you aren’t loosing a bunch of what is actually there in your ultra fines being washed out. if the gold is bound up and mineralised you will extract more of it via cyanide or mercury process... admittedly , you aren’t going to do that in a quick field pan test ... which is i know what you are depicting here,... just wondering if there is actually much more there than is meeting the eye?

[@911mining]

Yes there will be more for sure panning out ultra fines and gold in your sulfides isn't a good way to recover just to see if the gold primarily in the rock or matrix

[@blabjornsnaturprodukter2203]

hi, thanks!! So what do you do after finding a spot like that? You claim it? An sell it? Or set up a highbanker? You sell to mining Companies or to hobby gold diggers? Is it possible to make a good profit? Many questions, but would really appreciate answers to them. That would be sooo kind!

Why don't you dig and pan where the water flows

[@alexz7111]

I'm not sure that you need stone crusher, hammer and so on for prospecting. The nature have done all for you, for free. Just grab a bucket of clear deposit from the nearest ground. And btw be more aggressive with panning. The gold is heavy and as such its need more power to sink. And dont swirl! Dan Hurd with his 10 Tip and Tricks can teach you well ;) glhf
