[@minemilx2702]

Would you mind telling me the general location you work in? The scenery in your videos is stunning and if I ever go to Canada it will most certainly be for something like trekking and the areas you prospect are the areas I would like to walk in. I especially liked the scenery in the video named "Quartz, Calcite & Rhodonite In A Bedrock Canyon". I seem to recall that you said you prospected in southern British Columbia but I don't remember for sure.

Send me the rocks !! The one at 1:54 and Sample #1 would work. Great chunky gold there. Thanks for the awesome video as usual !!

[@brittnicole1209]

Do you ever find gold like you do chalcopyrite or is it always from crushing and refining sluice material? Those specimens are SO beautiful, do you ever sell any of them? Are you in any geology groups online? I’d love to show you some pictures of samples I have and hear what you think of them!

as a result: gold can be found in streams with many mineral rocks is it correct?

[@911mining]

Yes we often find mineralized float rocks in creeks with gold and other minerals.

You should see the diamonds and precious stones in the black sands we run. It is all really small but looks big under glass.

@@archerydogg that would be so cool

[@cacogenicist]

@@archerydogg - Diamonds? In the Klamath mountains are ya? Cool I've just started reading up on that area recently. Fascinating geology (insomuch as I understand it). Macro-diamonds have occasionally been found over the years. It's a bit mysterious, as you're far from the stable, continental craton -- where one usually thinks of diamonds associated with kimberlite and lamproite pipes. No kimberlite around there that anyone knows of, and the crust there is all terranes -- multiple volcanic island arcs and maybe continent fragments that got accreted to the N American continent. Sometimes slabs of oceanic crust with upper-mantle attached would get obducted up onto the previously docked terrane -- ophiolite. You get various types of ultramafic peridotite mantle rock up in the mountains. So, I think it's been understood for a long while that you can get micro-diamonds in ophiolitic peridotite, but the mysterious thing is that there are big diamonds -- apparently, probably? -- weathering out of it in the Klamath mountains (and the Sierras). I don't _think_ anyone has found big diamonds in rock? Just in gold placers. I suppose it's possible that there are some unknown -- maybe so eroded they're hard to notice -- diatremes, like non-kimberlitic volcanic pipes, hiding in the Klamaths and Sierra Nevadas that have been sampling mantle rock with big diamonds and transporting them to the surface? So anyhow, careful with the pebbles you throw out. Might want to give them a second glance -- that piece of quartz might not be quartz. :-) You find platinum in those sands also?

[@grantrennie]

I'm working in a place now where there are insane amounts of minerals, it's right next to a basalt column, there are huge boulders being blasted out of the ground for construction filled with large nodules of iron ore, what appears to be manganese and also bright green copper, the iron coloured round nodules when pried out of the stone (what appears to have been soft clay turned to stone after the nodules sunk into it) the surface of the nodules and the lining shape/round indent left after prying apart is covered with specks of gold. The site is 50 meters from the sea and there used to be copper and iron ore mines which closed around 100 years ago with cheap imports.. I also have a site nearby with quartz with bands of gold and other minerals/sulphides as well. There are 10 extinct volcanoes over a 50 mile area and many more dead volcanoes in the vacinity...

[@justindixon4564]

What an awesome. Awesome prospect. Im excited for you.

[@JamesMiller-wg7mf]

great video! would the loose boulders be classified as placer or lode/hard rock deposit?

[@911mining]

We are in British Columbia so it's either mineral or placer. Here only placer reserves can have placer claims. This is not so we have access to both, any mineral or placer deposits.

Can you explain what you mean by float or flow rock. Not sure what you’re saying there

[@911mining]

A float rock is a rock that's essentially made it's way away from the original exposure.

[@connivingcactus539]

Can you recommend some resources to help identify various rocks, minerals, etc.? Books, websites, testing facilities. Being a noob, I'm having trouble identifying something.

[@MarkRose1337]

Watch lots of videos like these. Also, Sprott Global put out an excellent video series on economic ore deposits that go into how mineral deposits are formed. It's a bit dry, but very informative.

What's the purple in the mineral? Bornite? Are you guys tempted to take the summer off to mine the creek out?

[@911mining]

Start up would be very pricey cause of access and because of how close it is to the creek, permit and reclamation bond would be a ton of $$. The purple and pink is chalcopyrite turns iridescent or a dark golden color very quickly with these solid mineral samples. We left freshly broken dull samples out overnight it rained and we came back the next day to blue, pink and golden samples. Bornite sometimes oxidizes very similar to chalcopyrite.

[@MarkRose1337]

Thank you for always taking the time to answer questions. I appreciate it!

[@doenjohnjo434]

I got a spot where there’s heavily mineralized surface material, pyrites, chalchopyrite,copper,gold,sulphites and then farther up or down on the river there’s nothing, not a spec of gold or pyrite ! I can’t find the source , any ideas ? Cheers

[@bbmw9029]

Did you find the lode source of the mineralized boulders?

[@av8rdoug824]

Many thanks for the videos filled with knowledge and information! Could maybe sometime you show some side by side samples that could more easily differentiate chalcopyrite from iron pyrite? I understand the copper (Cu) vs iron (Fe) and the hardness, but visually are they that different and should be distinguishable? Thanks again!

[@911mining]

Yes they are sometime they are found together and are hard to tell if it's fine grained pyrite. Chalcopyrite is more of a golden brown, pyrite looks more metallic but it can vary depending on other mineral content. We will show it in a video sometime for you.

[@lequebecois2]

Good sir or anyone who knows?

Am i supposed to smash those up for gold? I collected them up in a bad until i learn what the hell is going on. Please help clarify. Also run extension cord with wet dry vacum from the truck battery to skip the shovel.

Are you able to confirm by mineral composition that the float rocks did indeed come from the showing/outcrop? They seem too close too the showing to be from it. I would imagine that they would have been transported further over the hundreds/thousands of years of weathering and glaciation periods. Please enlighten me.😉

[@TreasureGeo]

Whats the Lat / Long

[@StevenHanover]

My grandfolks have tons of those heavy rocks you were getting samples of, yet whenever panning we find no gold just very very tiny salt looking stuff a little heavier than the black sands. Theres quartz all over and some orange veins on the various boulders and basketball sized hundred pound rocks in their back river. Are we supposed to send them in somewhere, or smash them up and soak in some kind of breaking bad eucalypus arsenic cyanide oil to leach the minerals out before firing in kiln? Theres lots of eucalyptus skinny long leaf trees i read that austrlalia old timers used the arsenic in them plants to extract gold instead of using mercury? How can i verify that their rocks that look like the yours without the purple? Just pyrite maybe not gold? Can you share the name of company so i can send samples to them albeit how expensive it is you have mentioned in past??

[@khairallahalyaari7630]

Is it possible to wash the dirt and clean it by panning with water and some soap? The magnet is used to remove iron impurities, but it is necessary to make sure the iron is taken by the magnet as it may contain gold. Then after separation of iron. If it contains sulphate, arsenobraite and pyrite, it is roasted well for four to five hours and then directly melted using either charcoal, red copper powder, carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and borax and then casting in a pyramidal mold. It is possible to use lead substitute copper as a collector of gold, but it is a risk and preferably copper. Then filter the alloy with either nitric acid to dissolve copper or silver or use royal water(aqua regia_ ratio 68%htdrochloric acid,32%nitric acid sometimes 3:1, or 4:1) to dissolve gold, silver and platinum. Then spray the solution. Then the deposition of gold powder zinc or other precipitants as well as how to use sulfuric acid diluted to dissolve sulphate and pyrite, and then after the dissolving of sulphate and peritate we filter. Then take the remaining residue and dry it and then wash it with hot water four to five times and beware of gas escalating or other washing and the whole process is done with great caution and then his brother-in-law as the introduction or use of royal water(aqua regia). To clean gold the way sulfuric acid is dangerous. But it may be effective in case the operation was done with caution with the availability of all equipment and safety precautions. You may lose some metals such as silver and copper, which will dissolve sulfuric acid and may need a difficult process to extract but may be effective in case you want gold and other minerals.

Today, May 24th, gold's "market" value is $1285 per oz, or $41.31 per gram. So 0.198g is $8.17, at least, on a Wall St. ticker tape.

You do realize the panning is for prospecting, not gold production. If he's getting 27 grams per ton, AFAIK, that's well into the range that commercial production is viable. Someone may pay him good money for the claim. That's what he's shooting for.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

@@bbmw9029 Yeah, I totally understand there is a lot more going on here. I'm simply curious about the real numbers. I've been watching TVR Exploring here on YT for awhile. That got me interested in this subject. I'm simply curious how the actual numbers work and the logic that determines when a resource is exploited and to what extent. Posting the numbers as they appear and relating the values is simply my passive way of 'egging on' these guys to post more info/depth on the subject.
