Fred Feels Ill When Cyanide Is Used To Leach Fine Gold | Gold Rush: Parker's Trail 

He has obviously never used the respirator because you have to shave your face to get a complete seal hes gonna breathe in gases

Parker has become really friendly! He's waving at everyone!!

That tarp is more than a hundred square feet do these shows ever try and find the right information about the stuff there filming about.

Dangerous chemicals doesn't even put the gear on properly xD

There isn’t enough gold in the world that can keep me out there from being eaten alive by those bugs. Literally every second of ur day is spent swatting ur face.

They should definitely call this method the Jim Jones extraction method

I like the part where they say, "you smell that".....ummm ya dummies if you can smell it you're breathing it!!!! UH HELLOOOOOOO!!!!

This is about 6 months old this episode and the cameraman gets more airtime than anyone

My FIL worked at a small mine here in Arizona in the 1980's they used Cyanide leaching in plastic lined pits. Eventually the soluble liquid from the cyanide was pumped through old water heaters that had carbon in them catch the gold. One guy almost died from breathing the fumes he was partially paralyzed but recovered because they had an antidote kit onsite. They had taken some classes on how to use the kit it also included taking the person to the hospital. Big mining operations don't use plastic lined pits they construct a fully operational mill where mixing tanks are used all enclosed so people can't fall in they cost millions to construct really the safe way to operate a Cyanide leaching system.

It's important to make sure the PH level of the water is above the point where Sodium Cyanide reacts with the water and converts to hydrocyanic (spelling?) gas which is probably what Fred had breathed in. The PH needs to be somewhat above 10.0 which is highly alkaline. The main antidote to cyanide poisoning is injection (with big needle) of sodium nitrate which is used as a preservative in food!

i feel the bugs on my face

What kinda flies are those buzzing in your faces.

Question: Is the wind ok? Answer: It’s gonna have to be. 👍🏽

and then theres cody from codys lab eating a bit of it........

Plenty of flies out there

cheers for the video

Cyanide leaching does not release any harmful fumes. You would need to add an acid to create cyanide gas.

Those tarps and hoses they was touching without gloves are all contaminated with those chemicals

As a person who has had a traumatic brain injury i feel for fred. It changes every part of your life.

Forbidden marshmallow

That's NOT 100 square feet! If it's 100 by 100 then it's 10,000 square feet.

Leach pad operator here at Equinox Gold we do leaching with cyanide our leach pad brings in about 400 ozs a day

Fred is a true legend

Fred is a asset to anything he’s involved in.. thank you for your service. You my friend are a beast and a hero

fred did 3 years in the military out here acting like he did something

I wanna see the whole process how they get the gould back out of solution!

Quick! Get that face mask on so you can survive those freaking flies!

Now to think animals fare and wide are in search for a body of water all to find that! Says a lot about them and our government.

That man deserves any wealth he gets ,,that's insane working with cyanide.

How bout a show about the aftermath of their land destruction and water pollution

6👍's up thanks again for having us all along with you

Parker heres el mejor desde que empezaron con tu abuelo ..saludos desde Chicago

Wonder if those practice is okay I'm the states.

Hi bro did you measure the PH before u put cianyde in to the materials ?

looks like; breaking bad. xD

I know it can be done safely although you have to be aware of the dangers and how to respond and clean up 👍

More importantly... did he leach the gold?!?!?

I'm an Chemist, I used Cyanide..... In love this gold Rush show 😍😍

Thanks for the video

Thumbs up if you want to see Todd Hoffman's crew try this.

Can’t touch it but can dump it without gloves?

Do they measure square footage different in Australia?

I think he just has hay fever

What kind of ore is it

hello, what is the ph of this solution,,

I want the full video

Idk maybe he needs some goggles and a respirator

Act like the cyanide is not evaporating in this heat

Dangerous not only to health and environment but also to the pocket.

I am in charge of the purification unit at my plant and we produce hydrogen cyanide. We have to wear full scba.

Wasn’t this filmed last in the first trip to Australia--I’ve seen it already

Please stop putting the cameraman in the story

Feeling tuff

Nice i like Job gold minning

Now kids, count how many safety violations or hazards happen in this video...

Is that Adam Driver

Zero medical basis to back this up

Can i have your contact sir ? I also work like that in my landtown in lombok indonesia , may be we can join here with more chiever all parts price of cynide system .

Here’s a story what was the results

Flies would do me in, why aren't they wearing those Cork dangling hats anymore 😂 a face mask with a full beard not covered, not the smartest idea 💡 😁

OSHA doesn't approve

I'm looking at that and that's way more than 100 ft

Love watching continued success.

Water would just spread the chemical

What’s the point of the camera guy having a camera on him?

يقول ويتم تركه لمدة يومين هل هو ملح الطعام سيذوب بهذه السرعه😂😂😂😂

Gold plus cyanide... not kosher.

Amazing beard, but no face mask is going to seal properly, when it can't touch the skin.

This seems wrong.

That tarp is not 100 sq/ft 😂

Green beret 😆

Sweet

Looks like a terrible solution for the environment. What happens to all that dirt that has been soaked in chemicals? It just stays there? :/

The environment is horrible lol

A hundred square feet would be ten by ten...

as for Fred ,an apparently tough guy, I think he lost his edge , he's a borderline snowflake now , poor fella

something does not make sense having only a basic first aid hours away from hospital . I call BS .

this must be the worst acting i have ever seen. it is sad...

oui 667

They need teslas bio defence mode for that.
