Gold Prospecting To Pouring Gold Bars! HELICOPTER SAMPLE!!!
Рет қаралды 930,178
7 ай бұрынPrepare for an extraordinary gold prospecting journey, two years in the making that cost over $4000! It all begins with an old map to a lost, incredibly rich, gold vein that Jason must discover.
Jason takes us on a grueling trek through the wild, teaching us valuable prospecting skills along the way, and makes a golden discovery! The excitement escalates as samples from the vein are brought to his shop. Here, using his gold milling equipment from manufactured by Mt. Baker Mining and Metals, the concealed gold is revealed. But is it enough to justify further exploration?
Enter his trusted friend and fellow gold prospector, @Danhurd and together they embark on a daring mission to the vein, pursuing additional samples and conducting rigorous tests. The results? The vein is teeming with rich, promising gold!
The adventure reaches its peak when Jason decides to hire a helicopter to transport over a ton of precious gold ore from the mountain. This ore undergoes meticulous processing through his gold mill. The moment arrives with bated breath as he pours gold bars. The big question looms: will the recovered gold cover the costs of this audacious undertaking, or will it become the stuff of legends?
Join us on this rollercoaster journey of gold prospecting, exploration, and discovery. The stakes are high, the excitement is palpable, and the pursuit of gold is nothing short of a thrilling adventure. Will Jason strike it rich or break his pick? To uncover the thrilling conclusion, you'll have to stay tuned until the very end!

Is gold really worth it to buy ? In terms of the short term considering taxes and overall cost of upfront purchase then trying to resell when I actually need the liquidity, is physical or gold stocks more worth the cost ? Because it seems to be when people speak of gold their not being specific to the short term or Long term approach to justifying the purchase. Let me know your thoughts , thanks anyone.

Consider investing for the long term only, as short-term investments may result in a loss. Keep in mind that the market can be manipulated, and Mike may be biased towards gold due to his business. It's important to maintain perspective.

Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

Hey Jason, as a professional in the gold mining industry I have never seen a stationary vibratory ball mill, interesting concept. All of the operations I have worked at have rotating ball or rod mills with water, none were operated in a batch process. My observation here is you’d have to approach this more in depth scientifically to maximize % grind, graph the percentage material ground to the fine particle size versus time. Maybe also try adding in some different sized balls and see if that increases % grind versus time. As the amount of fine particles accumulate, it seems they act as a cushion to the remaining coarse particles, thus slowing down the grinding action. One thing is for sure, gold mining certainly inspires innovation as seen by the multitudes of recovery equipment that has been fabricated over the years.
@geradkavanagh8240 7 ай бұрын
Living in Australia. I've seen vibrating and rotating ball mills in various mines and industrial uses. The stationary ones are usually used for bulk sampling where you put x amount of material in and expect to get the same out. Shavings from the balls or rods are always a problem in the analysis.

Use varying size balls in your mill so the smaller ones grind in the spaces between the bigger ones. I made a small mill from a cement mixer using balls from 1/2" up to about 2" and always got good powder.

@chrismaverick9828 7 ай бұрын
Awesome, Jason! Given time and manpower, the number of trips up there, the machine usage, etc I'm not sure you broke even overall, but the first time is always the hardest. Refining techniques and learning what works and doesn't is the profit-seeking game. A likely follow-up should probably be taking up a group of five or so with all the gear needed and getting the big bags prepped in the same trip. Might be worth camping overnight for a two day work process. Looking into a cargo helo with a greater lift capacity will help as well since their per/hour rate should be proportionally lower compared to the mass they can haul down each trip, making either for fewer trips and less operational hours or same number of trips with more mass removed as an offset.

So with your ball-shaker-mill it's actually quite interesting and you see a similar issue in large-scale operations. From my experience after the ball mill (just uses balls to crush rock), they screen the crush and run the oversize through a SAG mill (Semi-Autogenous-Grinding uses the rock itself plus balls to break up the rock) which ends up being more cost-effective than rerunning the material through the ball mill again. So basically you got left with that first stage after 30 minutes, pretty cool!

Black bears aren't particularly deadly - I've had quite a few run-ins in the Sierras & Trinity Alps in California and they can usually be scared off. Most bear deaths are brown bears aka grizzlies, which you won't find in the north cascades (yet! There's a plan to reintroduce, so keep track of that because bear-spray and/or a firearm may become necessary in coming years). I'm going to advocate (again) for better clothing for the high-country. You could easily end up in a dangerous situation with all that cotton work-clothes. Synthetics are your friends at elevation & really a worthwhile investment. Really enjoy your content Jason!

Hey there, after watching your last video, I've done some reading on stemming. First of, all material on this topic seems to be about industrial blasting with vertical blast holes using ANFO. So for you using a different explosive in horizontal blast holes the actual numbers might differ, also the numbers found in papers are not consistent. Generally stemming is about the part of the blast hole that isn't filled with explosives. The amount of burden you can move with a blast directly depends on the depth of the stemming. The burden is the distance between the blast hole and the face of the blast or in our case also the horizontal distance between the blast holes. Without additional mechanical stemming (plugging up the hole) the stemming is supposed to be equal to the burden. With effective mechanical stemming the ratio can be improved to the stemming only needing to be 0.7 times the burden. So using effective mechanical stemming should allow you to set your blast holes up to 1.5 times further apart. Still you'd have to figure out yourself what the actual optimum for your explosive and your burden is. I might well be worth it, as it will not only safe you explosives but also a might reduce the time needed to prepare a blast by 30%. If your lucky you might even get some numbers for your explosives from the manufacturer. Anyway the most important part is that there is no use wasting time on not effective stemming and the papers are pretty cleared about there being only one efficient material for stemming, Which will be revealed in the next comment xD.

There are two types, one allows you to communicate, the cheaper versions just alert authorities and lets them know where you are.

JASON !! Well Done. Seeing the Hard Rock process from 'there's the vein' to 'wow look at the gold button' is/was an eye opener. If I didn't know better I'd say that mining is a lot of actual work.............. Has it really been 2 years ! ? ! ? Since the sample was hauled out ? Jeeezzzz And that "Platinum Blonde" in your whiskers says a bit as well....... A good friend told Me "Gettin' Old Ain't fer Sissies".

Anybody else notice the perfect table slabs in his workshop? I wonder if he grinds up the quartz and fills any cracks with it and epoxy

I love watching you Jason! I know the way you mine is hard and I hate to see people work with big machines destroying the entire mountain. God is going to shine his light on you because you're a good and hardworking man! Also a bit of a comedian!
