Refining Rocks To Gold, Complete Gold Mining Plant

Running a sample of gold ore through our gold mining plant to determine the amount of gold and precious metals in our ore. This ore was collected from our mining claim and we are processing in through our 1 ton per hour gold milling system. We are excited to get back up to our claim and do some more mining and sampling this summer.

In my 73 years ,I found gold in Colorado, Nevada, Alaska , canada. As a hobby only !! fellows get into problems if it's taken as a serious income!! I've seen river dredge partners fight over what nugget belong to who ! I go alone ,and for the best ,way to never have problems .I go after gold nuggets & not waste my time on flower crap !! I keep my places secret ,but got the crude nuggets to prove my ,alone ways work . Gold is a strange thing ,both good, & Evil . I,never wasted time and work on gold I could never see in my slice box . Ask, you'r self how much gold is ever enough ?? I keep great nuggets as memories only of great times, to give my kids of Daddie's hobby .

[@nunyabisnass1141]

From what I've, seen on other channels unless you're getting nuggets frequently, then you spend more on gas getting to the site than from a day a sleucing most of the time. Unless you can move a lot of volume in a relatively short amount of time, then you're for better off treating like hob y as you said, like camping, fishing, or hunting.

[@darin7745]

Jason, just wanted to say thank you. I did my first smelt . I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket, so I only did a small amount of ore, ended up with a .5 gram button. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for your videos!

[@haroldishoy2113]

Jason, Thank you for the video demonstration, this answers a lot of questions for me. I had seen other mining videos where the host shows this sort of equipment in ruins at old abandoned mining sites, to see the process in action is fascinating.

Jason, awesome video once again! Would you be able to make a duplicate video of this from the time 21:07 (when you introduce the new technique of using Bismuth instead of lead in the refining process?) I feel this happens alot in which KEY important techniques are lost hidden in the videos and its impossible for us to make notations on this when studying the content. Either way Thank You so much for your good nature and trying to help us learn along with you!

The wisest thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, silver and digital currencies👉(BTC, ETH, SHIBA..). 💰❤️

[@PMBCOFFICIAL]

does bismuth completely remove all base metals and is that a pure gold / or it contains 85% gold and 15% silver

[@lawrencecaile]

Hi Jason I'm at the age where I can watch anyone working, now this is interesting, what Id like to know is does that shaker thingy have to be leveled before you start.

[@tylerkrug7719]

Is there an aftermarket application for the tailings ? It appears to be a fine grit that may be useful in garden centers or other boutique applications. Perhaps another revenue stream. Thanks for sharing this educational video. Make today great.

This video held me captive until the end. Very well done! I spent some time in Alaska during my military days many moons ago. I knew a prospector who one time had returned from his claim. He had 2 vials one had his gold and the other black sand. Is their any value to black Sand?

[@johnramirez5032]

Yoy have mastered tbe process! Very cool indeed! Impressed! Its not a easy thing to process gold and of corce make a living. There ar lots of costs. More than i know im sure. With replacement costs and fuel wear and tear do you have any idea what your profiite margin is? If you dont want to disclose that i understand .hard rock mining is not for sissies. It takes dedication. Hope you find some good pockets of that shiny gold!

[@dalejross548]

Hey there Sir, First I would have to say. Thank you for the time you put into these videos. They help tremendously. You are certainly a good resource 👍. I wanted to ask, if you would take a look at some photos of some samples I might get assayed? The problem and hesitation is, I am the only one pulling an income at the moment between my fiancé and I. So choosing where to spend any extra money, is a bit of a ordeal at the moment. But again, if you could even just take a super quick look and a 👍 or 👎? Would help tremendously on if I’m in the right direction or not. To be honest I’m feeling pretty good about what we have. Thanks man!

[@ex35240sx]

Will these rocks set off a metal dectetor like a at gold or w.e the gold finders are called. I have a few quarts vains on my property but theres no hits on the detector

[@insAneTunA]

From what I have seen from watching the TV show called Australian gold you can only detect larger pieces of gold and not the super fine traces of gold. Let's say a piece that is half the surface area from your pinky nail. But some pieces of quartz are packed with so much gold that the Australians call it a specie, short for specimen. And those can be detected. But I think that those specimen are an exception and that those super packed quartz veins in the US are already mined by the old timers, or so hard to reach that it is a big risk to do all the investments. But is it worth the effort? It is always fun to try, but I hardly believe that it will give you much of result. And it also detects iron and copper if the rock contains enough of it. So if you detect something it is not always a reliable signal. I would send a sample from the quartz material to the man in the video, and let let him do an exact test of the material. With modern technology and clever planning there might be some profit to catch where it wouldn't have been profitable in the old days. And the current gold price is pretty high. And if you find a piece of quartz of which you suspect that it contains a relative large amount of gold there is this special but very simple method to figure that out. It takes a kitchen scale, a cup of water, and a calculator. Anyone can do it at home. You can search for this video. How to calculate the weight of gold in a gold quartz specimen without crushing it.
