Mining The First Gold From Our New Gold Mine

[@Jelleasy]

Jason let me just say I am appreciative of the fact you aren't like dave from goldbay who literally tries to sell the underground video of him finding any gold in rocks as a NFT collectible, you're about learning and teaching and definitely always entertaining because you like to explain what's going on and how things work, Keep it up dude.

[@John-ub6jd]

You

[@craigboden9455]

ha ha, seriously?

[@chubbydinosaur9148]

NFT is still going? This new generation of men would do anything but write applications.

[@craigboden9455]

@@chubbydinosaur9148 just imagine the guy that made a few mil from a tiny digital cartoon put in his applications for Walmart lol. Whether you think it's stupid or not that guy made more out of that silly nft than Walmart would have made him.

[@AdamCeladin]

Goood stuff Jason ,))

[@65bigbird]

I always liked how you really show its all trial and error and learning how to do this. You da best Jason

[@leeroychang]

I'm so excited. Great stuff!

[@walkers]

Slabbin rock, slabbin wood, you'll have no problems reinforcing your mine this season. America needs more people who know how to do things. You're the man

[@MegaSilverStacker]

Great job guys 👍 👍

[@TheSharkGirls]

Woo hoo! Nice. Look forward to seeing all your machines in action getting the good stuff out!

[@agentbertram4769]

Most interesting and informative. Thanks Jason!

[@johnreynolds6499]

Thanks for sharing. More gold please. I appreciate it.

[@OGRocker1]

Looking forward to a great season for you Jason, .... Much Gold and many blessing on the year ahead. ⛏⚒⛏

[@SpaceDustStuff]

I look forward to your mining season. Be safe!

[@kenpeacock8377]

Been watching you for over a year. Great stuff. And, I've learned a lot! Big thanks!!

[@rbee914]

Really stoked here...wish you all the best.

[@kevinerickson2595]

Super exciting 🎉👏👏👏

[@obg6467]

Can't wait to see the blasting in the mine 😊

[@monicagrant6092]

That is amazing! Good for you. Love your videos.

[@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting]

Awesome video Jason. I found it very interesting. Good job 👏

[@ridingthrumemphis]

Thanks!

[@mbmmllc]

Thank you so much!

[@markwoodger2]

I love your combination of real science and mining common sense. Keep it up Jason.

[@John--qh9xl]

Fun videos, Jason, thanks.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Excellent videos Jason, You have a very interesting channel here and I always look forward to your content

[@TheGoldmansChannel]

Love it Jase! Can't wait to see you start mining it 💪

[@ClericPreston_]

the patterns on the cooling materials is always mesmerizing.

[@andrewschiewe6287]

Man I love your videos keep it up enjoy every video man good luck on the mining.

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

That is some very nice ore! $16k per ton of ore is great. Hope those values hold up as you start digging and processing tons of ore at one time. Still, sounds like scale of operation will have huge impact on profitability. Can't wait to see how this evolves!

[@rikspector]

Jason, That sample was very rich but even if the average amount is half or a quarter of that, you may be the first You Tuber to show us the Gold in them thar' hills o' the Cascades! This is going to be an awesome adventure. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@44070Swinger]

Hell ya Jason! I'm eagerly waiting for these upcoming videos.

[@cynicalbuddha]

Awesome can't wait to see what you can get done once the snow melts!!

[@shawnclement8394]

Can't wait to see more of the mining videos

[@shanna74]

Look forward to the mining videos

[@loriazevedo5994]

I enjoy the way you are teaching us to do the same . Much love to you for the share. Can't wait for this season.

[@SummerTanagerfossicking]

Congratulations on the new hammer! UPGRADE🎉

[@josephcormier5974]

That's going to be an awesome mine can't wait to see more of it thank you for sharing this six stars brother

[@chubbydinosaur9148]

I couldn't care less about gold and it's value, but there's something addicting to mining and panning for it. I love how you explain the geology and the chemistry behind mining and refining the material.

[@shanna74]

I love that little thing you attach to your camera phone. That's awesome

[@benpalmer1722]

Looks like you’re going to have a great season!

[@FishermanMike253]

Gold! I love Washington! Stay blessed bro! Maybe ill see you out in the fields one day!

[@danielimpett1277]

I can't wait for more from that mine, especially if we can do a ton in one go! It'll be cool to see how many ounces come of said ton cause it'll probably be a mixture of very high to mediocre grade. Brilliant video tho dude, the whole process is fascinating and you're an amazing host, could listen to you for days on end

[@marleybone6615]

Saw you this evening with Dan Hurd and the Blue Chip ore test. So I came over to this vid. Very interesting! I sent this vid to relatives near Lynden. Loved the close ups of the cut quartz slabs.

[@milsgarage]

i really like learning about the prospecting and processing. Thank you for sharing! i just learned there is a hazard to crushed quartz. How concerned are you about silicosis?

[@wimbelmans7245]

18:13 very nice !

[@rockman531]

Hi Jason, Fantastic results! Really looking forward to seeing the results from the muck on the ground! Should be some exciting videos coming out soon! Thumbs up! STAY SAFE!! Jim

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

Bismuth be your lucky day! Lol! Jason if I wasn't such a old beat up antique, I'd GLADLY😅 come over and muck that mess up for ya! Lol! Keep the materials coming! Keep that prospectors beard on, I seen Dan trying to hide this enormous crystal in his! lol! Love it all! 😂💰👍🤠

[@badgrampagramps8445]

Pretty cool watching your videos because i wouldnt be able to go down there i get to see how the process works which i would otherwise never see thnx

[@Saltysteele]

I'm excited to see what you get! That vein material is saturated! Love your content!

[@charliespeegleokliving8595]

17:40 always my favorite part, molten ore cooling in the mold.

[@danielflinn3571]

Thanks from Australia

[@marc-andrefilion4806]

i very appreciate this video thanks it's sure i see your next video !

[@mindseyeproductions8798]

If your crucible’s are sticking down in the furnace, place a bit of cardboard under your crucible prior to firing to prevent it from sticking (edit: thanks to bigstackD for the awesome knowledge”

[@kakaeriko]

just seen that from bigStack

[@hannable3871]

​@@kakaerikoI was going to say someone has been watching BigStackD

[@henricekstrand7662]

The knowledge and expertise! And the videos are so well made.

[@jmpattillo]

Looking forward too seeing some big gold.

[@dstap]

Hi Jason. Fantastic vid. Use silver as collector! The pros in Mauritania swore that the Ag works best :)

[@hoodatman]

Great stuff! I'm really looking forward to seeing the golden harvest coming out .

[@susanturcotte3176]

Wow, Jason! That's an incredible amount of gold in that ore. To be able to mine ore like that is so worthwhile! I can't hardly wait to see your next videos to show your hard work paying off! Go get'em! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@paulnewhouse8714]

Brother, I watched you on Dan Herd's vids. I have subscribed. Really enjoyed this one. Plan on watching from here on out.

[@SCW1060]

Wow thats going to be a money making mine. Congratulations Jason

[@whosaidthat5236]

Oh hell yeah great way to start a Saturday!

[@danielparsons5519]

I'm super excited to take this journey with you on this. I've Watched Jeff Williams for years and still in his mine. I've watch you for years mainly for smelting purposes but I enjoy all you post🤙🏻. I wish you would experiment with Acids. I taught myself with melting silver and For gold with AquaRigia. Both are Very easy to make and much cheaper and fun than smelting. Your end result with smelting after acid is pure powder. Smelting is so very easy. Anyway. Good luck and happy hunting.

[@عبداللهعليمحمدالجعشني]

اشكرك لقد عرفتنا على خام الذهب شكرا

[@JonStein-mu5eb]

I can't wait to get back mining. Pretty soon I'll be working my mines.

[@denlolify]

man im super excited for the videos of the mining season coming up!

[@richardrobertson1331]

Jason, I don't see any collapsing roof debris in that area but the room seems a little large to have no roof supports. Please don't let your excitement for that rich vein cloud your judgment. Love your discussions as you go.

[@amandosia346]

Jason hard work. Like. It seemts on ground also to much more ore gold

[@debcamp2359]

Thx for the vid!

[@Paolometaldetectororo]

Saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹. Like 👍

[@nielskrog9623]

Nice to watch, keep up....🤠🇩🇰🇬🇭 Rgds Danish Viking living in GHANA 🍻 I've been following you for some time, and as always it's education and nice content....!!

[@TechGorilla1987]

@22:04 - I'll take the tailings from that slabbing saw in a couple of weeks though!

[@youareanatural]

What an interesting video.

[@12thsonofisrael]

Good job 👏 👍

[@mattbyrne1822]

1/4" is perfect and easy to work. Keep up the great work there very educational 👍

[@southernoregonprospector9074]

Hey Jason! Been watching you for years, and just wanted to say thanks for helping to inspire me. You and Jeff Williams are a wealth of knowledge, and I'm super excited for you opening up this active mine, I know it's gonna be a hit! I got outbid last time, but I'm gonna win some pieces hopefully this round....but fyi, they're going for a ride in my little mill ;-) Take care man!

[@toussetaxi8127]

شكرا جزيلا لك

[@terrybusch5088]

As always I just want to say that you are a very nice, and knowledgeable young man and I look forward to seeing more of these prospecting and hopeful mining videos in the future. I hope you hit the mother load.

[@jaratt85]

I went and looked through a couple pieces of serpentine I collected from my local river with a 90X loop and was amazed to see a few little pieces of gold, some bright yellow gem, some black gem (likely obsidian or onyx) in certain little areas, and bright silvery flashes all over the rock. One little piece of gold is standing right next to a tiny little piece of what appears to be quartz in it. I guess they do run together.. really makes me wish I had my own truck and could take a few hours to go explore the mountains around where my grandparents are buried and find a big deposit of serpentine and see what I can find in it, I have found asbestos crystals on pieces up there before but never thought their might be metals in it. I still am not 100% on what that bright silver/white metal is, I'd think exposed silver would be grey by now... maybe zinc or titanium? The only things I can find to alloy bismuth with would be tin or antimony. After cutting all those slabs you'll eventually need to clean out all the muck from your saw and smelt it down.. I can promise you there's gold in there.

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

Cool stuff Jason thanks for sharing 1/4" is perfect for cabachons. Maybe just a little lead to soften up the bismuth? Keep the copper. I think you're headed in the right direction with the bismuth mix.

[@marilynsimpson4640]

Mined in the homestake mine in South Dakota in the sixths and sevevtys. Thank you.

[@user-cr1gn9oq5]

Hello from the🇷🇺 Russia,, and big gold and big happy day💪💪💪

[@mikehalvorsen4788]

Hey Jason. Crazy idea. Take it or leave it. One episode I saw you used a helicopter to transfer your rocks to a location from the mine. The other day I watched a video where this guy bought a affordable drone that could carry his body weight with ease. Approximately ( 230 lbs ) why not look into getting one for transporting your rocks? It would make your job way easier, and save costs in the long run. Sometimes I'm sweating just watching you. Lol lol. Your video's never disappoint. Keep up the good work. 👍😎🇨🇦

[@fieryvale]

What was the name of the video?

[@ruthlward3240]

21:07 Are you sucking up all those crumbs from the slabbing operation?

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@markbrown6236]

looking forward to the mining videos.

[@tysonsackett5658]

Man I believe your going to do really good in your mine

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

Jason have u ever tried using those electric blasting caps they use to break rock? I was wondering if they could be used in a gold vein to aide in mucking out ore,from what ive seen they are low impact meaning they dont produce a huge blast,i watched Dustin from gold rush white water use them to break rocks in the bottom of his hole that he was dredging,seems like an economical way to muck ore.

[@jnovak-om6ig]

I live in central Oregon and we just got some snow in them thar hills…Good Luck Jason

[@Alrik.]

Your videos are always super interesting, thanks for the great content! I'd understand if it's sensitive information, but I would be interested in seeing more of the financial side. Did you buy that mining claim or are you leasing it from someone or the state? And how much does hauling the ore out cost vs the gold you get?

[@John-nt6sq]

Could you recommend some good resources for learning about smelting and the chemistry behind it ?

[@rockbutcher]

Looks like there are tellurides in there besides the gold. Handy tip for sampling Jason: Get yourself an empty milk jug (because they are square and fit against the face). Leave the top on it and cut the bottom off with a box cutter. Now you have a jug with a handle that you can hold against the face under your rock hammer to catch the sample. Easy peasy to pour it into a sample bag and you don't have to get your sweatshirt filthy using it as a drop cloth. If you need a chisel, then you'll need a helper to hold the jug unless you have three hands.

[@ewaste-jd-preciousmetals3723]

Wow good mine, waiting for good gold bars to be made from your mine.

[@tabbatha68]

I enjoy your videos Jason! Thank you! Just had a question that no one seems to be able to answer. Do you know if iron pyrite is attracted to a magnet?? Thinking it should be because of the iron.

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

I would be curious if there are platinum group metals in that vein also.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

Good grade. Does the width carry, or is the good stuff only the narrow part?

[@uwillnevahno6837]

21:14 have you sampled all the fragments to see how much, if any, gold is present in that waste stream?

[@dodgeit3014]

Can’t wait man

[@kerzwhile]

I want a countertop made out of that gold ore quartz!! 🤔

[@butziporsche8646]

Jason, how many tons of ore are you hoping to remove prior to Winter setting in at the mine?

[@daved4547]

Kudos for the 'manly attempt' to snap that corner off the slab. 😏😎🖖

[@rastaralph7154]

Instead of pouring all the water in the cloth with the sulphides I would of got rid of the dirty water and just used the spray bottle to get the material out the pan. That way it might not get as wet and stick to the cloth as much.🤔❤️💛💚
