Join Jason as he takes you on another exciting adventure into an old abandoned gold mine. In this video, Jason extracts gold and silver from a rock sample using a jaw crusher, hammer mill, and shaker table. He then smelts the gold concentrates down into a button to determine the amount of gold and silver per ton of rocks. Watch as he shares the exciting results and learn how to do it yourself!

It's not often that I will sit through a 1 hour + video, but that was fascinating.

@earlysda Год назад

Watching that stuff cool down at 1:01:00 was very relaxing.

@oldmanpatriot1490 Год назад

Thats because people have been trained to be stupid by limiting the amount of information that can be shared at one time..... Example.... What is the limit of characters you can type into Twitter???? 140?? 150??? What can you really say in a 150 characters? the answer is not much..... This is how control is being trained into the public... A persons ability to form arguments are through repetition.. repetition affords the person the ability of refining the argument to the point that is most effective to the listener... This why politicians constantly repeat the same crap.. And when some asks a question,,, the politician has refined answers to stump the listener to ask follow up questions... And if you are smart enough as a critical thinker to follow up,,, then they just shout you down and censor you... Just like Screwtube and the rest of social media is doing..... And this is why the country is doomed..... People want the easy way out,,, wont listen to something important for more than a few minutes but will rot their brain for 2 hours for a movie or spend the entire day rotting their brain on sports..... This is why the roman emperor built the colosseum.. Keep the people distracted while their country was being destroyed from within... The movie Idiocracy is now considered a historical documentary..

Hi there Jason. Thank you very much! You do an excellent job explaining the whats and hows of what you do! Plus, has an added bonus, you're a neighbor. I bought my house about 30 years ago about 1 mile from your place. "I've survived the Guide" many, many times. :) It's cool that one of my favorite youtube channels is done by a local. Keep on keeping on...

@rastaralph7154 Год назад

Was just about to say I really like the look of that mine and the veins then you started saying 11 Oz per ton then 21 Oz per ton so no wonder I like it so much. It doesn't take very much quartz to make a ton when you have so many heavy metals throughout it so that's just amazing! 💚💛❤️👍

@damianstasek8946 Год назад

It would be cool if you made a smaller system and marketed to the average hobbyist that could invest and turn some profit on smaller scales. If you could make a system around 15-20k i think a lot of people would jump on it to gwt their foot in the door processing ore and pcb's. Love your vids!!

The freeze after the pour is just beautiful. Its just so mesmerising to watch the amazing shifting patterns from the bright yellow to deep reds and, I'm assumpting, yes I said assumpting, I like the non word, black. The valuable metals, to me, are a byproduct of this incredible process. That would make a seriously good screen saver...cut me in if you do this. 5%

@johnslugger Год назад

*Note: I used to live in Nome, AK and I used to assay the dirt in the street and garden dirt in peoples back yards. Just the average dirt runs 1/3rd to 3/4 OZ per ton!!! Nome is the richest place on earth! Just amazing. The place should be turned into a 100 mile round open pit mine. At the 500 Foot level it could produce enough Gold to crash the Gold price for 200 years or more. GO THERE ONCE IN YOUR LIFE! All dirt every-where has 10 to 50 colors and flakes per pan full. One spring day after 5 days of hard rain I was driving down the road and in a washout with lots of back sand streaks I picked up 17 ounces of large flat Gold nuggets with my fingers in just a few minutes. RICHEST PLACE FOR GOLD ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!*

Question. If you take a precious metal and put it in liquid form (with acids).. can you take that and stick it in a blast furnace to recover the metal? / Will the metal be left after the acids burn away?

@shawndinterman2219 Год назад

The precision of that table is crazy. I suspect it needs a lot of fine tuning with each different sample but has to be worth it's weight in gold

@iguanaamphibioustruck7352 5 месяцев назад

In 1955, I had graduated from Utah State with degree in Aero Technology a pilot and mechanics license. Broke, I got a job at EIMCO in SLC running a drill press. Lee Hansen, a cousin of my dad, was a geologist for Rare Metals Corp and he needed a sampler. Looking at your video I can see you need me. You are probably better at making videos than sampling or geology. And, at 88 I can no longer hump those bags, which were twice that size (around 100 #), I typically used a two pound coffee can (probably Folgers) which you could form to fit the contours of the line. Later I had an aluminum container from a cannister set which was perfect. "The dust you spill could be the difference between Go or No Go" In America because of our government we are known for being innovative. WW2 was won by innovation or "Yankee Know How). If II screwed up a sample i did not get fired, my boss said; " you did it wrong, now you know how to do it right": just don't make the same mistake twice.". That probably would not happen in a country controlled by communists. President Trump probably made some mistakes in his first term but, we can get the benefits of his second term. GET SMART, GET TRUMP. Iguana

@blacklabelonthebedrocks Год назад

Hi Jason, Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be better to moisten the ore a bit and maybe put an old sack (open on both sides, like a hose) at the outlet of the crusher? This would reduce the dust covering the entire neighborhood (at 38:00).

@bfd1565 Год назад

That's an acceptable amount of precious metals from the surface talings. Cool stuff.

@genedavis759 Год назад

If you ground the ore finer before processing would that alter the end result significantly?

@EastBayFlipper Год назад

I've done some machine design for food production and something occurred to me, if you had a high grader on site, you'd be able to reprocess that discarded quartz and and country rock using optical recognition and mass to discriminate so it would literally run all day and a horn can call the operator to clear any jams. The optics can be trained to direct rock at speed😉👍 The box work quartz in the sweet spots is amazing

@brentsmith981 Год назад

...also i find your videos to be the most informative and interesting of those ive viewed..a suggestion: have you considered testing a replaceable hammer mill tooth with a wedge- type impact surface a la a replaceable stamp shoe held in place by a pin? Though it might cut into your profits initially i ll bet more units could be sold if the entire hammer package didnt have to be scrapped or changed out frequently...just the actual worn out impact face. What do you think?

Hey, Have you ever done anything with arsenopyrite gold ore? i live up north, there is a mine long closed and abandoned with bits and pieces of ore kicking around in the tailings, some big some small. just curious if this is something smeltable or if it needs to be leeched? you would know more then me! and it was a hard rock underground mine. i know they were high grading the arsenopyrite because i found multiple pieces in the old ore bins that fed the aerial tram to the crusher.
