Hard Rock Gold Mining With Jason Part 3

[@PaulTanner-pc1nj]

Every time the camera leaves the mine the views are incredible, what a place to eat your sandwich and have a coffee at brake time, truly awesome.

[@mineoperator]

It is a blessing to be there

[@Joe_for_real]

The dripping sounds during the time-lapse portion were a nice touch. I'm enjoying watching your and Jason's videos to get both perspectives.

[@turbokadett]

Another great video Harry, you've really captured the day-to-day of being a hard rock miner. The conversations, jokes and exhaustion are so relatable regardless of what line of work you're from.

[@larrygerfen2801]

Guys, the mining coverage is really interesting and informative. Wish I was 30 years younger to actually experience a day’s activity. I’d be interested on the weekly logistics of supporting your actual mine activities. Such as making meals, cleaning clothes, washing yourselves, going to town for mine supplies, groceries, paying bills, etc. Like all workers there is the “face time” and there is that time needed to support that actual mine work. Great work guys. That’s a lot of physical effort, every day. Thanks guys for the great filming and shared knowledge. Year ago I didn’t have a clue the mining process.

[@JonStein-mu5eb]

I knew what you were going to say, so c'mon let's GO!

[@DavidStock-fw1fj]

This second perspective on the process is great. 👍 fantastic watch thanks.

[@susanturcotte3176]

Thanks for showing us your perspective on the mine, Harry. It seems like some views are the same as Jason's, but a lot of the video was more on the cleanup, safety and conversations when planning. Very interesting! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@JustinQuilling]

Your conversation during the break was not only authentic, but also fascinating.

[@LesLeturno]

I'm really enjoying and relating to the mining videos you and Jason are putting out. I'm working a small hard rock prospect up in Alaska and I'm learning a ton of good stuff from the videos. I have one small suggestion that will help make your bucket work much less miserable. Get a 20 pack of the orange snap on bucket handles and use them on all of your buckets. They make an 80 lb load feel like 40 lbs. Keep the videos coming, it helps me get my mining fix during the off season.

[@EastBayFlipper]

Rail bender 33:40 take 4 HD truck U bolts for spring packs and a piece of rigid plate, rectangular and a hydraulic powerpack manual pancake jack. Slide the rail in or unbolt the U bolts and put around the rail to be bent and gently apply pressure until the desired deformation is achieved 😉👍 Putting thumb wheels on the nuts is advisable for ease and finding them😂

[@Chaphillionaire]

Nice work 👏 Glove tip... I always make a single stitch with heavy thread near the finger tip (I prefer the outside of the finger) before 1st use. It will keep the liner and shell of your gloves together when taking them off with wet hands 🫳🎤👏

[@danajohnson5993]

Great to have your version and Jason’s both. The difference in what you are thinking about jives a much better sense of the process as well as how lucky Jason is to have you working with him. Stay safe.

[@rodofiron5957]

Note: Short sleeves in 38F. Work related heat. I bet when you stop, sit on cold muck pile, the cold comes and finds you…! Great video! Outstanding.

[@petepeterson4540]

yeah but half of it is welcomed, It's the other half once you cool down makes you build fire.

Im here in Australia but we got muck trucks thst self load bit like bin lifter with bucket to do 270 ish degrees drives forwards Lifts bucket of muck going from 4 oclock like loader arms to tipping out at the 11 10 9 8 o'clock mark an tips forwards to 4 oclock drives forwards repeats An these are in opal mines doing it for them or well most of it There remote controlled 3 foot by 5 foot by 3 foot high til the arms bring it up to 5 foot Even in your hard to scoop rock a tiny bucket bag size This could load bags of ore with a hopper to suit Ie love the traffic cone 😂😂😂or muck out in ore cart Can draw it up for you if you like If heights issue theres a few other ways to skin the cat

[@trevorwhat]

Really like the evolving style of your videos. Great content aside, they’re unique and compelling.

[@willsmith2887]

This is great content. My Grandfather worked in a coal mine in MO and I can't imagine the things they might have talked about during breaks. And I see why you dip, cigarettes would get wet too fast and be unworkable. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see how things are going to come together. And they WILL come together. Best of luck.

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

Hey Harry & Jason, seen one of your guys videos, a short I believe? Advertising bags of pay dust for the holidays, I wish I could afford it and knew how to order it, being like Fred Flintstone on these gizmos and barely surviving on my Social Security don't seem feasible...but I still love watching the awesome videos and learning about the mining, keep it happening.....⛏️⚒️⚖️💪👍🤠

[@charlestosi5199]

Will all the running water freeze up in the winter? Will that cause instability in the walls and ceiling? Thanks for last video. It showed how difficult this undertaking is. Good winter to you two.

[@timothyanderson2108]

That's a serious thought that mate I'd not thought of the expansion that would give off each freeze 😮

Man that’s beautiful out there, hopefully one of these days I will be able to come out and learn and help out. Love watching all kick ass‼️🫡🏴‍☠️

[@TelescopeJunky]

Harry, I loved your idea of filming your break. Love hearing you and Jason talk shop. We learn a lot from that. Also, I am going to tease Jason here through your videos, we now know Jason does work also. 😅 Sorry, Jason just had to tease you a bit there. You both are hard workers indeed and always have been. So much respect to you all (including Chad) for that alone. 🙂

[@mineoperator]

Thanks, was not sure if filming one of out breaks would work or not. I was hoping it made ya'll feel like you were there with us. Also what we actually talk about.

Ive learnt so much from you an jason already to watch you do my tricks lol 😂

[@GoldPanDan]

You could always grind/cut the outside of the caster off on your cart so you only have the lip on the inside, then the width of the rail wont cause troubles. Been fun watching you and Jason do this! I would be there in a heart beat to help you guys for the experience but I dont think I could make the time.. ☹ Would have to see what next years brings.

[@mineoperator]

That is a great idea!!!

[@damianstasek8946]

Cool stuff. Been watching Jason for many years, subbed you too.

You actually "ROCK" !

[@phillipswain4942]

What a beautiful place to see when you come out of the adit.

[@jeffkablock3229]

lol montana butte had some real hot mines

[@rodofiron5957]

Might there be some “ideal height” of vein presentation for mining/drilling? It must be endless decision making to keep it at a workable height, with minimal extra material to remove. Loads of forethought and on the fly decisions!

[@Scatmandoo]

Put some old garden hose on the bucket handle so it is easier on your hands.

[@thineownentity]

Perhaps gravity sent the flow off of the quartz pinch down behind that fault. All that mineral Rich flow . This is my hopes for your venture . Good luck!

[@Shaggydude2]

Harry, I look foward to your vids, thanks for letting us follow. Gold today was over 27 hundred an ounce, I don't understand why everyone isn't doing everything they can to take advantage of the prices.

So can you just pull out a flask of gold and stare at it for a minute to get that "dopamine hit." I'd have everything down there painted gold to keep the fever alive lol. (I saw the fever in your eyes in previous episodes and it was glorious.) I can only imagine the pain of mucking worthless rock...you guys are doin great and am so jealous...your living my dream literally.

[@mikeman230]

Maybe next year get some lighting so we can see the mine better. Sad to see the season end so soon. Tell Jason to get some snowmobiles.

[@bobsprague3363]

We drove two twin tunnels and every 500' we would make a crosscut. I was standing in the middle haulage tunnel talk to my boss when the next thing I knew I was on the ground. A rock the size of a softball fell from the 30' tall tunnel and smacked me right on top of shoulder. The rock dropped me like a rock. Ouch

[@RICDirector]

Bar down, bar down!! Thatvsounds like a busted shoulder event...seriously ow!!

[@UncleBildo]

Always fascinating! You guys don't need gym memberships, you are busting ass! No wonder old time miners had the reputation of being tough SOB's, huh?

[@larrygerfen2801]

After you’ve finished processing the ore, how pure do you think it is and what approximate price do you sell at in relation to Spot?

Perhaps a strange question How do you accurately figure out how far and what direction to dig the shaft to reach your targa shaft ?

[@mineoperator]

Jason and Dale from Tamarack Geological Services, surveyed the mine and figured out the direction and distance to hit the raise. We have a fault that is a catching feature if we aim short.

[@prinz10ga]

@ thank you … Do compass’s function inside the mine

[@mineoperator]

Yes. Even under water. Big metal equipment can skew a compass, so have to be aware of that.

[@prinz10ga]

@@mineoperator thank you for the answers to my three questions. I really appreciate and like what you two are doing together I think there’s a great educational component here that is just awesome but I’m a retired educator so I’d look at things that way I guess anyway I can’t wait for the next video and will certainly when you reopen the mind with Jason and find that rich seems of shiny stuff that we all love so much good luck my operator and thank you. '..n

[@scuss2]

38 degrees F inside Jason's mine is the same temperature as my refrigerator. You know a hot six pack brought inside the mine and at the end of the day will be chilled and ready to drink. Here's a question: why don't you blast your area so you both can stand up straight? Too much muck maybe? Could you blast in the shape of a pyramid with the point on the top?

[@mineoperator]

Time and expense we don't have. Once we reach the raise we won't spend much time in that part of the stope. I would love to chill beer in the mine except MSHA will fine you $1,000 per beer. This happened decades ago with a 6pack.

[@scuss2]

@@mineoperator O'Doul's has no alcohol but taste like beer. N/A beer means you can drink it then operate heavy machinery. I gave up alcohol 35 years ago. When was the last time you got a surprise visit from MSHA? With our luck it is when you least expect it now that it's been broadcast on You Tube you know that inspector will be there. Do they bring a beer sniffing dog? Next someone will be in dog training teaching Canines how to sniff out gold deposits.

[@krakhedd]

When are you guys going to dredge the piss ditch and places where gold may be accumulating, kinda like the old timer told Jason about standing where the ore bags come down the chute?

[@krakhedd]

Might be cool to see a random 100lb sample of the waste rock processed too, just to prove to we the skeptical viewers at home there there's indeed little or no mineral value to it! :D

[@gerard8496]

how many rounds do you think it will take to intersect with the other addit next season?

[@ilenekehoe3099]

Your video would be improved if you had two or three battery lanterns in your shooting area.

[@mineoperator]

I agree. We run though those Milwaukee batteries in no time on our little lantern. We have very limited ability to charge anything up there.

[@scuss2]

@@mineoperator HF has a 18 volt solar panel. I have one outside my tool shed. I use bell wire and have the wire hooked up to the controller that powers a computer fan. Sun comes up fan comes on, sun goes down fan shuts off. You could do the same with 12 volt dc led lighting. Plus the HF 18 volt solar panel comes with 2-12 volt led lights on 20-25 feet of wire with a switch. Rewire with Bell wire (1 red, 1 white twisted) then you can go farther distance from power source. Hook up the solar panel to a deep cycle marine battery to operate the lighting. The battery charges at the same time.

[@bobrobert6277]

cool stuff

[@twisttwister8254]

🎉🎉

[@GoldChump]

I am curious why you don't set up a simple winch w/ rope to pull the ore out. Bigger cart and winch propelled seems would save time and soft tissue.

[@omonkkonen6676]

Jason sells rock crushing machines and himself is not using them in mine operation. I would put crushing machine inside mine, slurry pump and hose outside to catch material. No need bags and manual work to get rock out.

[@mineoperator]

Next season once we reach the raise we can get a slusher up there.

[@GoldChump]

@@mineoperator Yea I remember one of you saying that in a video. But my gosh moving those rocks is unimaginable. I hobby placer mine and moving 10 rocks is enough to go bonkers.

[@cutlassman1]

I keep hearing you say this season is it not possible to stock food and blasting equipment and take a tiny house up and park it and just stay up there or is more dangerous due to avalanche conditions 🤔

[@mineoperator]

@@cutlassman1 every millsite ever built at this location was wiped out by avalanche’s. The sulphuric mineralization eats iron. About the worst environment to store equipment. It would be awesome to build some cabins to live in would be awesome, but we only have two months to access the mine.

Why don’t you run some lights in the mine? Also when do you think you will show a video of the smelting of the gold from the mine?

[@doorguytimaz]

I'm thinking something that would be great is if you have a camera in a safe place to film the blasts.

[@twisttwister8254]

❤

[@stupidminotaur9735]

Could you have been blasting both ends to meet up in the middle? you dont even have to muck it all just have enough room to get the rails and carts through in the middle of the muck. . only thing i can think of is the blasting might push out the explosion on the other side. could you have been drilling on the opposite side? like the drilling is 1 day work while mucking is 2-3 days. if you took 2 days to drill on both sides 1 for each side then blasted, you'd have more muck but you might have had a cleat path to the shorter route, and you could have ignored the muck on the side off the track. (and of course put the explosions in after you drilled on the other side to prevent accidental hitting it) ah 18 feet away.

@@mineoperator Y'all are doing a great job either way. I just felt like saying that, because a whole lot of people never go back and clean the gold off the floors of mines, and people come decades or even centuries later and walk all in there, with no idea that it is there, but then some real prospector will follow a panning trip up a creek to the adit, and think: "Man! Did those guys even THINK to clean the floors back then?"

[@sovereignlivingsoul]

looks like you guys had a good year, i have a question, is the ground on which the track is placed considered to have value, Jason mentioned a while back about setting up a business to process asphalt and cement using one of his rock crushers, i have been thinking about this concept and some of the considerations that go with it, still not sure if it would be a complete money maker, but if a concept i have could prove correct, it may provide the material to lay track on and fill holes for independent gold miners, but that is not the point of my commentary really, however your answer will determine the value of my next statement, which is, the rock pile you guys are building off to the side, does it hold potential value, if it does, would it be considered fruitful to set up a small processing plant and use the processed waste for road fill and track levelling, if its not too big, a small rock crusher and a Gold Hog and something to process the fines, might yield enough to pay for taking quiet moments processing a bag or so each day, anyway, take care and God Bless, i look forward to watching what you guys get up to next year.

[@slm3945]

Why don't you load a bag for the Country Rock/Quarts and test it to see if it has GOLD?

With modern technology of LED lights. Why not have more flood lights in y’alls work spaces?

We don't really have the ability to charge very much. This is the most small scale mine you can run. We are also a MSHA registered mine so the regulations are very high, and expensive to implement.

[@1.5acrefarmer42]

@ I get that and maybe or hopefully with the new executive administration the over regulating will be more moderate but safe. Couldn’t this product (Brightech Ambience Pro Solar Powered Outdoor String Lights, 27 ft Commercial Grade Waterproof Patio Lights, 12 Edison Bulbs, Shatterproof LED String Lights for Outside, Porch - 1W Soft White) with wiring long enough, y’all could put the panel out where Jason initiates the blast/emergency exit? Just ideas for next years season. There’s no stopping the process of the work to be done.

[@orophilia]

Hi Harry, I liked the video overall and I really liked segments of it. I think you have a lot of talent for the artistic side and for the authentic side, so I'll leave a bit of criticism. I make YT videos, and I know how difficult it can be to create a story. Often the best comments are about things that I could have done better. So, here goes: I got bored during the conversation, so it could have been better edited. The point-source lighting in the mine can be very beautiful and mystical for artistic reasons and it leaves the viewer with a strong impression of the blackness and loneliness of the place. However, I'd love to see more of the vein and the gold and the geology and for that the miner's lights are not so good. I would buy a small LED wide angle flood lamp and use it for the shots around the new section of the mine and while explaining what's happening with the slip, the blasting, the mucking, etc. I loved the cut with the sound of the water while you were in fast-mo. That worked. The sounds of the water, the cold and the damp are things that your viewers can experience through your film and you're starting to get those feelings into the videos. Nice job. -- Dave

[@mineoperator]

Thankyou Dave I really appreciate the comment.

[@trevorwhat]

A counterpoint regarding the conversation: I really enjoyed that bit; it felt like I was sat there while the two guys talked shop. I've been there, sat exhausted and listened to colleagues talk about the next steps so for me it was something I strongly related to.
