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.

[@johnnywoodstock]

I thought the same thing. It didn't click for me until I saw this. Isn't that amazing?

[@Patrick_Cooper]

My thoughts at seeing the tailings bin. Wow, that's an expensive bit of kit, just to make sand. "I wonder does he know about beaches." : )

[@ToddDunning]

Terrific camera work and purely factual approach

[@shaneyork300]

I always find this process fascinating! Have a Great Day My Friend!!

[@kevinsteve9453]

Glad I caught the conclusion, always look forward to next video, thanks

[@karmabyforce1]

Good to see ya putting out some more vids. I enjoy watching them alot.will look forward to more!!! thanks alot mbmmllc!!!

[@funnychickfred2286]

Why does this soothe my soul ? Talk about very relaxing ! Gosh .... great set up ! Very impressive!

[@GrooberNedJardine]

Sweet gold button there Jason , gotta be happy with that , great demo of all the process and gear too , cheers .

[@Tenekai]

We really need more videos of your plant running different materials.

[@Frostyfarmer420]

I have to say you got that table dialed in just right !!

[@shermdeazy]

Your videos are the best. Nice clear explanations of your process! Not to mention your ore proccesing plant is the shit!

[@ricardboswell7490]

I absolutely love your shaker Table I bet it would work great in Alaska

[@kylestrokelitus360]

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!

[@VoGusProspecting]

You have a great show buddy. Loving it.

[@mbmmllc]

Thanks Vo-Gus. I enjoy your channel too!

[@alanpecherer5705]

That's a great looking button! Pretty clean!

[@ursamines7643]

Love the videos! Love the equipment even more! Can’t wait for my hammer mill

[@cryptotestimony]

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..). 💰❤️

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

9 gr per ton ain't bad. Glad it's working out for you.

[@briancrandall5548]

Looks like the same kind of material run in Cobalt Ontario in our mind

[@joshuabud2981]

Lets dig some up aha

[@nicolaspaquet9500]

I have a unit pretty much the same as this video ;)

[@Red9GearHeads]

I wander if you can point me in a direction for smelting using bismuth? I seem to be having trouble find reading material on bismuth as a collector.

[@silk9775]

very nice, looks fun, could watch all day

[@RockAndOre]

Nice button of gold mate. You own some serious equipment. Love this vid.

[@kencarbon2346]

Enjoyed watching your video on your operation of mining equipment used for extracting gold from or thanks for sharing.😀

[@zemetrius]

really enjoy watching your video's, you have a great system setup to recover the gold, never fails to impress.

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

Wow! What an impressive setup!

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

this sand would be pretty awesme for grout, fine concrete

[@ProspectorTripp]

Nice little run Jason. Thanks buddy ✌️PT

[@tylerkrug7719]

Dang,that's a sweet set up!

[@richardpendley3454]

That is just beautiful! Now that's gangsta.

[@brethamilton3603]

Your system is awesome , now if i only had me a gold mine.⛏🇺🇲👍

[@123Goldhunter11]

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

[@catgynt9148]

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.

[@wayneakins7850]

Nice crescent moon

[@Alondro77]

I need a couple of those pyramid molds. I'm going to be smelting copper and silver, and those are perfect.

[@jessicawiley9592]

Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere???

[@oldmountainmarineandmetals9736]

Very nice setup, I could certainly use it

[@christiecrawford6119]

I think you forgot to show what happen to gold with to much black sand in the Cupel .just very curious to see and the video was great as always .great work

[@jerrypeterson2996]

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?

[@Mark-bh8mb]

Magnificent set up

[@dalejross548]

Ausome set up BUT I KNOW YOUR LOOKING FOR GOLD I noticed you didn't use a magnet WHY? Everything has a value Your waste pile can be put to good USE QUESTIONS? 1 what do you do with the sands on the groves? do they have any values?

[@TVTambangMineral]

Nice

[@BillMulholland1]

It’s nice to see a picker 🍻👍

[@OnsloVest]

Nice one mate

[@dr.zarkhov9753]

That was quite enlightening.

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Awesome setup man. Good job. And did you say it only took you an hour to run that material ???

[@johnramirez5032]

I thought he said a hour and a half for a ton. Im sure its hard work and not always profitable. Lots of costs involved. What a great set up!!

[@กันญาดาพิชญศิริกุล]

Wow very good job 👍👍👍

[@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.

[@rayman1611]

Awesome, thanks. You have given me the bug.

[@clydebennish2106]

Fascinating

[@jeffinphx517]

Great video Jason, it would be cool if you did a video with Justin from 911 Mining.

[@josephcormier5974]

Nice does silver live with the gold keep up with the great video when will you start the new mine you showed us last video thank you two thumbs

[@richardbell925]

very nice setup

[@torbjrngleerup5716]

How do this setup works With more coarser gold and bigger nuggets? Great vids. Thx

[@Reglabbe]

I must say, I really like how your plant processes material, I wish I had something similar however smaller scale to run on my future site.

[@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006]

Yeah my rock crusher is a jackhammer that I welded a old thick ass frying pan to after I cut the handleoff...so yeah same

[@Reglabbe]

@@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006 I currently have a "dolly pot" style crusher I made from farm scraps, a steel plate with a steel pipe welded onto it, the head of a sledge hammer attached to a piece of steel rebar, ye old manual crusher for now lol but hoping to either build or buy something better eventually lol

[@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006]

@@Reglabbe that’s quite cool and a tad bit more advanced than mine I’d imagine because I have to manually dump all the crushed rock

[@Reglabbe]

@@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006 so do I lol my crusher is bulky and cumbersome lol the steel plate is 2ft X 1ft, the steel pipe is 3ft tall X 8" diameter, she is a beast lol but does the job with minimal effort, only crushed a few samples but it made quick work of them, the weight of the rebar and sledge head really make a difference.

[@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006]

@@Reglabbe the jackhammer crusher is mounted to a chainsaw mill that I screwed to the wall and as long as it doesn’t explode from my poor engineering It dose some work on quarts and granite so it’s a dangerous beast

[@broomsticknick6202]

Hey Jason could you try the Cadillac converter thing one more time and smash it up to a fine fine powder and then Shaker table it and see what you get wondering if you can shake your table Platinum palladium rhodium and then refine it? thank you.

[@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!

[@Hookah268]

What if it's raining? Great contraption! Most of the moving parts are easily replaced as needed (I assume). Other than the gold and sand, is there any byproduct that has some value?

[@joshuajackson6442]

Thank you, nicely done!

[@arvetis]

The Men Who Point At Rocks

[@Michael-rg7mx]

Maybe the County would pay you to patch potholes with the tailings?

[@Hartcore11]

So the Bithmous weight was what was suspected to be the weight of the black sands and the base metals that would be oxydized and absorbed into the cupel?

[@UtahGold]

I will give this a try today with silver

[@rayeaglenz]

Excellent and Interesting, thank you 👍😊

[@TIPPYtoeup]

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!

[@bobcansee]

That is a great process!!

Awesome

[@PMBCOFFICIAL]

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

[@Pye422]

What do you do with all of the mud that comes out the end of your turnkey system? Are you filling in a ravine on your property? Or building a mountain somewhere?

[@wetstreamsprospecting2781]

Do you offer financing ? Also if you could give a quick run down on recirculating water pump system, that would be very handy !

Is the purpose of the intermediate hopper to slow and regulate the flow into the ball mill? Also, love the videos, learning a lot and living vicariously!

[@chrissollazzo6835]

Having started with a supersack bag ending with less than a pound-ish. With all the effort to retrieve the pay dirt, process cost (eqipment cost,electricity, etc), is all of cost effective? Are you making a profit worthy of your time and the costs to do this operation?

[@charleski302]

Dang!! 9 grams per ton. I would have that baby ginning until I ran out of material.

[@djquinn11]

That’s about $560 at today’s price. I don’t know what his costs and equipment overhead is but that doesn’t seem like a lot to me. Of course I have no clue about what makes a good business case for a set up like this and I could be way out in left field about it not being a good business case. The video was great though, very interesting and who doesn’t love seeing the gold at the end!
