Huge Line of Gold, Silver & Lead on the Shaker Table!

Team Mine Operator would like to thank Merik for donating some tools and ore filled with gold, silver and lead. Come along on this adventure as a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere and soaks our team as we're mucking and filling bulk bags with ore. How much gold and silver is in this ore? We'll find out as we run some of it through our mill-site to test it out.

I am loving this series with Merik. The fact that you guys showed up to basically make a film, prospect for Gold but that Merik needs you young Mine Operators to do some more Gold Recovery on film. Maybe not a Discovery show with all the bells. This is closer to reality. Thanks guys.

[@mineoperator]

We really appreciate your comment, John. We're so happy to have met Merik and spend time getting to know him. He's gonna be retiring in a month. This guy has so much experience drilling, blasting, and prospecting. We enjoy what he's teaching us and we're happy to help out. I think we have some gold and silver in our future 😉.

[@me5768]

Well, I’m sorry the rain cut your visit short. I was looking forward to doing a little digging with you guys. I hope that ore I gave you was worth the hassle for you.

[@UncleBildo]

Awesome gift. They got experience, laughs, and will get video views out of it, besides the metal they got. I don't think any of them would say it wasn't worth it!

[@mineoperator]

We'd love to have you there when we run the rest of it! We were hoping to do some digging and rock breaking with you as well. We'll have to come back...if possible.

[@4seasonspix]

What a beautiful gift - you are very generous 💛🙏🏼 Can't put a price on video viewers' excitement and anticipation when watching the MO team working its magic 💛✨😊

[@pbprestin]

The garlic smell is from Arsenopyrite. You should add the acid gas cartridge to your respirator along with the hepa filter when smelting this stuff.

It's nice when someone comes to you, taps you on the shoulder and says I got some candy for you. Hope you gots some muscles, this candy is a bit heavy!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Typically, there is silver inside the lead, so you can float that in a hot pot and use some zinc to extract the silver from the lead and then sell the lead separately at about $1/lb

[@johnfarrow5873]

You all need to find a lumber store Going Out of business and buy one of their flat beds with a Crane thing on it.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

looks like you may have Arsenopyrite my friend ....good indicator for Gold but must be roasted to extract Gold values from it ....love you milling operation and we know you will hit the Big one here soon ....will try to make it out your way when it cools down

[@mineoperator]

Sounds like a plan Jeff. We'll have some needed upgrades installed at our millsite that you'll appreciate. Maybe we can drill and blast, explore an underground mine, or mill some ore at our place. We're open to suggestions and we look forward to meeting you in person.

[@me5768]

I got that ore off the same claim you now hold in Searchlight back in 1985 . I’ve had it in those drums for almost 40 years.

Why don't you have a conveyor setup from the crusher to the shaker feeder?

[@mineoperator]

Great question, James. We weren't sure if Keene would let us test out his crusher long enough to justify setting up conveyors. We'll need to make that decision if we want to run volume.

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know. We appreciate that.

[@FraterKel]

Interesting video! If my memory is correct, Arsine (Arsenic Trihydride )smells like fishy garlic. Deadly nasty stuff in its gaseous form. Associated with China Clay and Cinnabar sometimes.

[@mineoperator]

Thanks for that helpful information. We'll be extremely cautious working with this material.

Garlic smell is from arsenic. The red mineral is likely Realgar, an arsenic mineral.

Realgar = Mercury

[@kenchappelle816]

I'm not quite sure what you guys are after ? are you after something profitable to small scale mine ? What is your bottom line for mining 1/2 oz per ton 1 oz per ton ? I'm kinda in your neighborhood I have Virgin claims I have just broken into showing multiple precious metals by fire assay. I don't know the grade yet but I am allowed a 1000 ton bulk sample followed by a 5000 ton Bulk sample. This mining season I need to establish the grade of the ore and decide what I'm going to do with it because I'm getting to be to old to mine this.

[@mineoperator]

Hi Ken, we are after ore to mine or process for someone. While we're exploring, we're fine tuning our equipment and helping the entire team gain the experience and skills needed to be successful at mining. I don't have a bottom line figure at the moment. My brain is exhausted as I'm attending a SPRAT Level 1 certification course in Vegas. We're also helping mine owners run bulk samples. Stay in touch. If you come across grades worth running, let us know. [e-mail]. Thanks for your comment!

[@kenchappelle816]

@@mineoperator I am getting to old and broken to do much with my new Virgin Hard Rock Gold, Platinum, Palladium claim. Maybe we will talk about that some time, the play ground is 2 clicks by 2 1/2 clicks but I have only broken open a couple exposures.

Tellurium and arsenic are both associated with garlic smells. Don’t get any tellurium on ya. You’ll stink like garlic for months!

[@johnglasgow4176]

Interesting too bad that nice line wasn't pure gold thanks for the video

[@mineoperator]

I know John. Us too. Those rich pockets or veins are still out there. There's one in a mine that we haven't showed yet as it very difficult access. The shaft is plugged. We almost have it cleared but have been so busy on other projects. Can't wait to go back to that vertical shaft. It's about 130' deep and the grade got up to 8opt. We haven't forgot about that spot. We need a team of 4 at that mine. Now to line up everyone's schedule.

[@lotharschiese8559]

@@mineoperator Do your research, focus on the gold mines that were shut down because of WWII, then narrow down on the ones with highest grades. In those days only mines that were rich were deemed profitable. AND stay clear of refractory ores, high in sulphides, especially Arsenopyrite.

Cinnabar? The mercury bearing crystal? Yeah looks like you got a toxic metal mine. With gold on the side.
