I explore an abandoned underground gold mine and process a gold ore sample I took from it. In this video, you'll see how much gold is left in this mine and how I extracted and smelted the gold. Starting with the exploration of the mine, I'll show you the gold vein that I discovered and how I mined the gold. I'll then take you through the crushing and pulverizing of the ore before smelting the gold. Finally, I'll test the tailings and reveal the results. Don't miss out on this exciting journey to discover the riches hidden in this abandoned gold mine!

Hi Jason! I work in granite industry many years as driller and also stone splitter with those same wedge, I strongly recommend you at least 3-4 more wedge 4 inch appart, don’t dip to much in the face also, and last trick is smash just a little the wedge and let pressure build up, drive wedge straight into didn’t often work, it drive the crack often to the easiest way than take big chunk 😅 and for removal of the wedge drill close along one feather than will loose the pressure of the wedge easily. Drive pop hole throught natural crack is the best. You should absolutely put the chisel away you done well the feather and wedge man! The wedge was the piece you smash and the feather was the two piece you have to point into direction you want the pressure. Here in quebec we name it Coins & Jumelles 😁

Your grandfather's method sounds totally logical. Each time I watch Jason pour hot content into the cone and see the remaining liquid in the crucible not making it into the cone, I can't help but wonder about any possible heavy (precious) metals being left behind; or how much harder it must be for them to reach the tip of the cone since the cooling process has already set in. Here was also the first time I saw him thin (re-smelt?) that bottom leftover in the crucible, which is good, but it was then poured into an already cooling mass, which might have prevented any remaining heavies from reaching the tip of the cone.

As for lights go, when I was a photographer we used what's called "daylight" bulbs. Normal bulbs tend to be on the warmer side of the spectrum IE- yellows to orangish light as where "daylight bulbs" are on the blueish side which makes light that is more like sun light and also it's easier on the eyes.

@@MrPhillip2 Yea, what's going on is the quartz being a bright white reflecting a lot of light and everything else being dark.

I do a lot of amateur photography for a hobby Jason, and what is happening for the most part in your video is the camera you're using is adjusting its light if you're on auto exposure, and trying to find a balance between the darker Shadow area in the outside what you're trying to show which makes it too bright on the center. You need a camera where you can, black on a phone camera, tap the spot you're trying to show to the camera know to adjust the lighting to that spot and ignore the other areas. The only other thing you can do is get the camera lens closer or zoom in closer to where the darker outside area that we are viewing is not in the picture. You have to take the decision making process that the camera is using out of the equation. It is trying to find a proper light balance for everything that you have in the viewing field the dark and the light and when it tries to brighten the dark it automatically wash it out what you're trying to show us. If you can manually bring the brightness down it will make the surrounding area black but will make us able to see the detail on the light area. I hope I worded that in a way that I was understandable. Love your videos.

Hi Jason. Your fine grinding mill ain't a grain mill. It's a mineral processing mill. Bico has been manufacturing Mineral processing equipment since 1888. Although this mill is discontinued they still supply replacement parts, so you should be able to get new plates if required. I have been a mineral processing technician for 17 years and I love disc mills for fast fine grinding. We tend to use a disc mill primarily for assay samples( analytic analyser) and not gravity separation due to the amount of ultrafine material generated by the discs. This is probably why you had so much precious metal in your tailings. You did a 2 stage grind which is good but, you didn't seem to screen out the fines in between. These then get reground and produce the ultra-fines which you don't want as ultra-fines tend to go straight to tailings in gravity separation. I love your shaking table by the way. As I specialise in gravity separation and pilot plant I would love to get my hands on it. As I live in the UK I doubt that will happen. Happy new year to you.

I'm sure a thousand ppl have commented on this but.... the part you hit is the Wedge, wedging apart the thin metal side pieces called the Feathers. Have you ever considered doing episodes with visitors, people who pay to accompany you in the caves, streams, mountains and back home to your mills and crushers? I see a HUGE waiver being involved and you can pretty much right your own costs? Time limits on mine work and time down in the working areas, people can sift through tailing piles, etc. Do panning in a stream. Pack-mule the filled bags of rock to the trucks. What they find they keep? People will Flip the F**K out joining you doing your thing. You can make your own "rules" about people being down in a mine, like for 30mins per day or whatever, do a nice lunch. Back to the workshop to crush up the rocks. Maximum 4 clients per weekend? Two 8 hr days? They can camp or stay in a hotel? Just a thought?

As far as your lighting issues in this video and you asked for advice. You probably have lights that are adequate for the job but when you see blown out highlights where it's too bright and just a big white blob You just need to move the lights farther away from what you're illuminating. Or lower the power of the lights which lowers the brightness. Check the view of your camera often and then you won't waste your time filming things that are not viewable. I'm happy to help in any way I can. Your videos are very well done.

As someone that was offered a job at a smeltering company lab, over a half centurty ago, and I passed that up to finish my degree in chemistry and go to work in the petrochemistry here on the Texas Coast, I am learning from you the things I missed. But in the mean time I was given advice to become a grad student by my Geology prof. And I was able to take an advanced course by a hard rock geologist who had students mapping the precambrian strata in the Llano uplift region. I left UT Austin conflicted but since I had grown up with a father who was cut loose from a WWII & post Korean war oil boom job in the vast Corpus Christi region oil fields, plus the geology lab teachers, were all layed off mineral hunters, working on post grad degrees, I got the picture of the boom or bust geo- exploration cycle and got a job with a growing chemical company that later merged with Du Pont and became the largest in the US. And I could drive to The Houston Gem and Mineral Society meetings mineral section mettings twice a month. But they hated mineral chemistry, only euhedral crystals. Love your smelting experiments. I spent almost 20 years in petrochemical research and never got a chance to do any of that, but we had a blast, litteraly, some damn big ones, unplaned too.

If the need for new lighting comment was made due to the viewers unable to see said gold in the ore due to brightness than some day try filters and diffusers to minimize your dropping the light output yet reduces the glare picked up on video as well as remember to just point them up or not at your actual target because the quartz will reflect it for you being such a light color and the sheen being so shiny. Love watching ya man! Thanks for all you do and be safe always think twice should I do this and if you ask 3 times it's a no usually lol.

Hi Jason Dear teacher, your works are very scientific and with complete explanations that leave no room for doubt. The question I had is that we can't extract gold better with Aqua Regia. And secondly, you do not add lead oxide in the flux, what is the reason for the lack of lead oxide in the flux? Also, you used to put an iron rod in the melting pot to absorb sulfates, but you didn't do it in this clip, why? I really enjoyed your mining and extraction work.

Milwaukee should sponsor you, Jason. Also Milwaukee has some nice work lights that would use the batteries you run.

I love the honest realism that is naturally shown here in the mining and refining. Stuff like cost to reward ratio, I mean I'm sure Jason could slap his home depot card down and go it there with 8 batteries :) But he doesn't, it'd not just a show its him really highgrading to see how much gold is there! :)

Hi Jason u earn my subscription today thank you for your explanation, I am working in the watch industry and use gold for cases bracelets and other mouvements parts. I take you as an example to motivate people in the factory and to make them aware of the effort it takes to collect a gram of gold from earth. Keep going I get a lot from explanation from mine to the little piece of fine gold

Nice up close camera work 14:39 next to the feathered wedge on the newly opened seem. Nice to see up close all the different colors and types of rocks and minerals. It looks beautiful.

Jason, you should try working with diffused light. Your shots will be much better illuminated. To test it out, you can simply clamp a layer of toilet paper with a rubber band over your light, a cloth, kitchen paper or something similar should also work.
