Gold & Silver from a Secret Gold Mine - Crushing, Smelting and Refining Process

[@kerzwhile]

Gotta say, Jason is by far the consumate standard in gold mining channels. From the raw mining to the manufacturing of the machines through the smelting process, and then to a product Sreetips could purify. Awesome channel Jason!! It's obvious why Dan and Jeff rely on You.

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Love the series! The work with Dan Hurd was a special treat!

[@Fatamus]

Dan makes such light and fun videos, 🙄 Jason on the other hand make more fun and light videos. I think 🤔they work well together. But that's just me 🤣😂🤣

[@patricknoveski6409]

You are right. Feather and wedges!

[@fredygump5578]

Thanks for sharing. I'm not a miner, but the adventure is real! It's fun to follow along.

I am not a: Miner Hoof trimmer Chemist Rust game player Astro physicist Stock trader But i like watching all of those.

[@vadenk4433]

Seeing gold run in the galena is neat. Usually it’s high grade silver that runs in galena in NE Washington. I’ve seen assays that ran over 1000 ounces a ton (silver) on galena

[@RJ-zm3tr]

Love, love, & love the smelting/result videos!!

[@michaelpass2176]

Thank you Jason, these videos are great!

[@mickeyfilmer5551]

To stop your crucible from sticking to the brick in the furnace, place a small square (about the size of the base the crucible) of corugated cardboard under the crucible. |this will turn to charcoal, and form a barrier that prevents the crucible from sticking.

[@rom65536]

I mentioned Brent at Cerro Gordo, and you went and did a collaboration with him. Then I mentioned Dan Hurd, and you were off to Canada. Now - considering what you are embarking on, I want to mention Sreetips. If you are breaking out the chemistry set and the nitric acid, you need to talk to Sreetips.

[@steingat]

Agreed!

[@newmexicogold2234]

Yeah sreetips is the Definitely one of the gurus of the

[@newmexicogold2234]

Is that street sweeps is one of the gurus of the precious metals refining for jewelry and electronics and stuff He's he's very smart and knowledgeable I also want to try to get him on the show maybe a show and an adventure it's going to be the quest for the eight noble medals and I've got a bunch of ideas and I got my show so check a little take a look and see what kind of just messing around on the side side show jobs because refining recovery of precious metals gets those very boring moments that's when we fill it in with all the sideshow stuff but I want to do this signal that like an adventure thing in mind I'll keep in touch I'll keep you in the loop you need to let me know if you're interested and yeah like I said we could actually get a good little collaboration of us like-minded and talented people put our minds together and we have us one hell of a team anyways later talk to street tips I'll be talking to him too maybe we can collaborate later

[@jimwednt1229]

It's about time ! Yahoo 😂😂 I've been waiting for this one 👏👏🤞 Hope you get outstanding gold recovery! Thank you !

[@elbybrook9466]

This would be the perfect video to do a collab with Street tips.

[@mericksonj]

Sreetips*

[@aaronjohnson453]

I totally agree! (SreeTips)

[@davidnash8586]

Blimey, that WAS a lot of work! I watched every second and enjoyed it immensely !

[@Rockymountainprospector]

That's crazy I was thinking it was going to be way richer but still impressive thanks Jason for the update can't wait to see the helicopter ore processed as always its been a pleasure learning from you thank you sir Happy holidays to you and yours

[@dennisshoemaker2789]

Thanks for taking us along with you on this adventure! Really interesting.

[@marcussteers4629]

Hard day in the office Jason. Looking forward to the refinement video.

[@Uriel_222]

Enjoyed it thoroughly Jason . Can’t wait to see the outcome of the actual gold content. Thanks for taking us along 👍

[@joshuajackson6442]

Thank you, enjoyed very much. Excited for the next part of the journey.

[@peterwiley4383]

Love to watch that table work.

[@rockman531]

Hi Jason, AWESOME!! Dynamite video! Very exciting to see the gold line go across the shaker table. It will be very interesting to see what the #2 concentrates button produces in gold/silver. Also looking forward to the assay results from the #4 waste. How many gold specimens did you not crush & refine? Stay safe!! Thank You for another fantastic video. Jim

[@johannesthe5th154]

I will stay tuned for the next refining video for sure 👍 Word of advice before starting devolving the buttons in nitric acid. Get yourself a gold karat test kit. You will need to get the gold content to around 25% or lower by adding either copper or silver to the material. Otherwise the gold will protect the silver from going into solution. There are a lot of information about this around the Internet, and it’s a fairly simple refining trick. Search for “assaying gold/silver with inquartation”

[@punkinhaidmartin]

I think I've heard h talk about "inquartation" (?) before.

[@briancasey3421]

sreetips has lots of info about this

[@bilrand]

Love your videos, thank you. I am surprised about 1 item, your guessing of the gold silver content in your buttons. For the amount of work you do refining gold/silver wouldn't be worth buying a gold and silver testing and detection scanner so you know the exact content of the gold/silver in each button? I know they are expensive but how about a used one for sale. These analyzers can even be used checking the gold/silver ore content in the mine vein.

[@RJ-zm3tr]

I'd love to see that. But understandable being that a decent unit cost upwards of $4 - $25k

[@dewardtaylor4192]

Great video looking forward to seeing you use the nitric acid. Thanks for taking your time to share this

[@TravelingThrifter]

That was a cool video!! I am a long time watcher, and this was up there as being my favorite video series because of all the steps you will have to take to complete the processes.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Exciting stuff Jason! Part 2! Excellent! Let’s GO!

[@michealklonowski5267]

well thank you for sharing the adventure and information.

[@victorbryant2791]

Watching the pour cool down and seeing that surface of the sun is one of my favorite parts of your videos Jason. Great content keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@patchvonbraun]

I've been watching "Flour Gold Wizards" lately as well. The HUGE difference between the yields around Lake Superior and West Coast is striking. For beach gold along Lake Superior, a 0.3g day is a "huge" day.

[@sergiovaca2162]

Thanks for all your effort and dedication! This is one of your best videos ever, mainly because we can learn what to do when things turn south, thanks for not cutting off the mistakes and letting us learn from your experiences.

[@danvigue2238]

I watch all your videos this is one of the best...

[@orixxboy]

Well Jason one thing is for sure! And that your precious metal is unique unto you. I hope you enjoy purification of the gold out process? Love and luck from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️

[@ericm8811]

Hey mbmmllc! Maybe use a selfie stick or similar expansion rod horizontally between the walls and clamp the camera to it so you can record more of the ore extraction process and have both hands free to work! Greetings from Vancouver British Columbia Canada! Ride ride ride!

[@lotharschiese8559]

Dynamite idea and it was made in BC, Canada!

[@lockguy2652]

Hey Jason, fantastic channel! Came over from Dan Hurd's channel. Oddly my last name is Hurd lol... Just wanted to say I've been binge watching your videos. Entertaining, educational and fun. Very cool stuff.

[@bobcansee]

Nice job Jason. I wanna see the nitric!

[@user-lb8do4ew6k]

Woo hoo! All that hard work is paying off. Congrats

[@patrickc.allenlive4373]

Wow! Great adventure show. I loved the mine quest.

[@ToddKesler]

Great job Jason

[@darrellbroomhall7020]

Been looking at your edu vlogs for years. So glad to see you building subscription count. Thanks yo.

[@AJShiningThreads]

I love that you show the whole process in one video.

[@willx27]

New camera? Video looks great!

[@williamv780]

You read my mind when u said at the end that you are going to part the silver and base metals away with chemical reactions!! You will get some really nice looking gold for sure after u do, can’t wait to see the results!!

[@jakejacobson2999]

It’s so satisfying watching the shaker table

[@gub0ne182]

I just realized I've been watching your videos for some time as they were recommended but I was not subscribed. I fixed that. Thank you for these really cool videos. It is something I don't ever see myself doing, but I do enjoy watching.

[@SKILLED521]

I'm glad your equipment is selling briskly. You seem like a great guy and the channel's a treat. Kudos, sir.

[@mikeparadise5024]

Thank you Jason love the videos keep them up wish I could join the hunt for gold it is alot of hard work keeping the dream alive and kicking

[@mikemarriam]

Love to see a colab between mbmm and sreetips.

[@RyanMartin-wg7gm]

Right on Jason thanks alot all the time you really give me a good idea to keep learning about mining minerals and especially precious metals see ya 😊

[@123bbbooobbb]

Nice one. Great video thx

[@Fatamus]

Thanks for the video. So you can separate the silver from the gold and salvage them both. 😁👍 thanks for the info👍👍

Just found your channel, and I gotta say this is AWESOME. I love your format and the way you present your mining and then refinement processes. LOVE your channel, keep doing you!

[@danielcoulthardjr6608]

This is so frickin cool. I'm a geologist, and I wish I could get goin on something like this.

Dan the man! Love your videos.

[@stingray427man]

Excellent 🤙

[@JOUST-2]

Hey Jason, you could do a collab with Sreetips to refine your gold! He's great at it. Always cool to see the trial and tribulations of smelting the concentrates! Looking forward to the refining video!

[@biffedya]

I was going to suggest sreetips too

[@mixmasta]

I agree with the @sreetips idea. I guess a lot of us are subscribed to both of you guys.

Hello sir. Im always watching your videos. I love your hummer mell

Im from Philippines.

[@rodneyarmstrong3813]

How do you separate the gold and silver.

[@patricknoveski6409]

Yes I wonder that also

[@mericksonj]

Nitric acid dissolves silver, but not gold, soak they material, heat, pour off the liquid (repeat several times to be thorough) into a jar with pure copper to cement the silver nitrate back to silver powder. Metallic gold and silver separated.

[@KarensCookieJarCollection]

Finally an answer to my question if the gold and silver can be separated. I can't wait until that video comes out. Please be as detailed as possible. Did you smelt the pan of #4 tailings?

[@mickeyfilmer5551]

So about $5k worth of gold - what a nice payday -even though a lot of hard work , I've learned so much in just this one video. Excellent !

[@thelivingedge3587]

Hell of a day !! You Shure earn your money

[@thankor]

Dude after seeing that bat, that would be the end of my prospecting for the day! I want to point out how good of shape your in Jason, walking that material up and down that ladder

Real great video man. But the Hammermill need some grease imo =P Love the content!

[@rastaralph7154]

Areet. looking forward to the follow up video to this. Really wanted to know like you the results on this one. 💚💛❤️👍 Ps I shared your sketchy gold mine video on my community page 👌

[@patpetersen7645]

look how smooth everything works

[@Landogarner83]

Hey Jason Have you ever tried to oxydize the lead without cornflaking it first? As lead has a slightly lower melting point than Potassium nitrate i suspect that most or nearly all of the reaction happens with the lead already molten anyway. So that additional step of cornflaking the lead could be avoidable.

[@PfeifferFishing]

Bring me !! haha . Awesome videos never prospected or mined in my life. But super interested in your videos and content. Keep it up

[@mariocardamone1846]

awesome just came across your channel and enjoyed it i hope you strike it rich with a ton of pure gold gold luck from australia

[@jakebrakebill]

I admire your tenacity

[@garyking3459]

Good video Jason. FYI Streetips is a great channel for chemistry processing of gold and silver.

[@bw4593]

KZbin algorithm def knows me better than I know myself cause this video auto played after a Sreetips video for me 😂. I have no illusions I’ll ever refine or mine gold, but I sure get some strange sense of both calm and excitement watching others do it! Calm right up to the reveal and excitement at the reveal of the spoils 😊

[@joshwilliams8765]

Sreetips video collaboration? Nice buttons 👌

[@goldieirish9958]

Wow! What a perfect separation system in this shaker table! You would have a hard time getting it any other way. Lots of very fine beautiful gold! What Country are you in?

i could watch that shaker table all day

[@Grumpyprospector]

Great to see that I am not the only one who fails. Can't wait to see the final result. Great video.

[@jasonfarrell3567]

What do you do with your tailings in your selling pond?

[@rgboyte]

You are one tough dude.

[@benlipman]

Maybe build a hoist? A tripod frame that sits over the vertical shaft opening with a winch. You could climb the ladder then winch the bags up. Unless you like the exercise I guess!

[@andron967]

That vein is beautiful ! And with a very nice solid looking hanging wall. Don't break it ! I do think it's time for some timbering though.

[@bonks4395]

Jason, you're doing great with the Oregon claim. I'm kinda happy (sorry) about you needing to crush your ore down finer to free up more gold. I assume you're using a roll mill or a noisy ball mill? Hope it is a roll mill that works with the hammer mill. Love the work you do and look forward to buying another hard rock plant from you again....Bryan in Oregon

[@royreese993]

Great Video, You Might like to watch sreetips he refines gold and silver, Thanks
