Gold Mining in Sweden: Exploring Rich Veins and Reprocessing Tailings

[@MrInsaint]

Have been with the children to Sweden to panning gold several times with Rolf and the team. They have a really nice place in Ädelfors. Where you can wash gold all day at an old river bed. Twice as rich in gold as elsewhere in Sweden. Found your channel today and subscribed right away. 💯👍💯 Regards Kenneth the Norseman. Btw, thank you for sharing👌🤠

I really enjoy seeing it too! The world won't stop needing rare minerals like gold anytime soon. But the sooner we switch away from methods like mercury mining & arsenic leeching the better

If you have never had genuine swedish meatballs, you don't know how good they are. My grandparents all emigrated from Sweden and one aunt could make the real deal.

[@misonaly2630]

Facts

[@uenmm4745]

In the video their unfortunately store bought. Not the same as home made.

[@gandalf8216]

14oz ground beef 1 thoroughly whisked egg (without egg the meatballs become dry, so skip the egg if you like them dry) 1 onion sliced into atoms (you can use a grate) salt pepper (personally I add some powdered cayenne pepper just for that rounded spicy taste) Mix together thoroughly like a dough, roll into balls. The technique is to roll them between palms, first tightly so they become flat, and then slowly cup the palms around the meatball to a good round size and stops swelling on its. The right amount of compression of the meatball is key, so it doesn't fall apart later. Fry in oil or butter, medium heat, flip/roll them around often for even searing. Done. /Swede with grandmother's recipe

[@azorthegreat2112]

Jag brukar inte använda ägg men lök och hög värme.

[@Baldershemlighet]

@@gandalf8216 I would suggest that you simmer tem before frying. Put in a pot and let them simmer until they float to the surface. Then let them dry for a minute; and THEN go frying!

[@stefankarlsson4652]

Hello from Sweden! It's so cool that you visited Sweden for an episode. ;)

[@kertbert1]

The gold mine I worked at had the gold frosted on the pyrite cube. We used a heap leach technique recovering the gold through a filter press using zinc dust and silver nitrate solution. Our bars has some zinc and copper so we used glass sand in the blast furnace to help get rid of a lot of the zinc. I ran the mining operation in the pit. It was a lot of fun. When they were doing a pour I'd go up and watch sometimes just for fun. The ore body was a shale type rock with disseminated sulfides and cross cutting hydrothermal quartz veins with chalcopyrite. Where the shale wasn't altered the sulfides were hematite in a grey shale and when they came into contact with the hydrothermal alteration the shale turned green and became softer like talc stone filled with pyrite cubes. Any areas where there would have been hematite there was now pyrite. The cross cutting red stained quartz was of a higher gold content than the altered country rock..

[@MagnusM71]

I appretiate this info, glad to hear from someone skilled in this business.

[@Arjay.M88]

Very impressive just for tailings, very very impressive.

[@dondavis5633]

Well worth waiting for, Jason. I always learn so much from these presentations on your channel, and this one was no exception. When I was a kid, I thought the only two places in the world where you could find enough gold to mine was the Americas and the African continent, but I've learned over the years that plentiful gold can be found just about anywhere where the correct geological conditions are present. And it certainly looks like this Swedish gold mine has those conditions in spades! Thanks so much for another terrific video. As usual, it went way too fast! 😁 OBTW - How were those Swedish meatball sammiches?

[@Nagah_]

I love seeing you travel the world sharing and gaining knowledge. Great stuff.

[@MagnusM71]

Totally agree :)

[@Mike-zl4rp]

So fun to have you in Sweden Jason. Hope you enjoyed it alot. Sweden has alot of potential, but the interest in Sweden for gold mining is limited. Everyone thinks that Sweden dont have any gold.

[@parsvanstrom5791]

Who are "everyone" and why do they think that? Sweden and Finland are the top gold producers in the EU. Sweden mined 8 metric tonnes of gold in 2019.

Sweden produces over 50% of the world's underground mining equipment and have some of the most efficient mines in the world. I hope ventures like this and stories like First Nordic Metals and District Metals helps put Sweden on the mining map again for investors.

[@runejortveit6379]

Fun to see you drop by Scandinavia :) Interesting! I see gold prices peaked in 1980 to similar levels as today (inflation adjusted), but then dropped to a quarter of the value (again inflation adjusted) during the 1990s. This probably made the mining unprofitable. Also, it does surprise me that they left gold if they actually did process it back in the '80s-'90s. As far as I know, they could be almost as good at recovery as we are today - not that much has changed. It could be that they never got around to setting up a proper operation to process the sulfides and only got the free-milled gold, and what they get now is the, by now, liberated gold from oxidized sulfides. Have they tested the sulfides left in the processed and unprocessed ore? Would be interesting to see. Could be more fine gold there that needs more advanced processing. Haven't read the comments yet, but hopefully, we get some of the old miners/workers commenting - some of them are probably still around.

[@ostn5781]

The thing is that they stopped backing money with gold. Thats when all went to shit.

[@snchilders]
