Join us for the latest chapter in our remarkable video journey of resurrecting an abandoned gold mine: "Opening My Gold Mine! Part 4: Timbering a Mine." In this gripping episode, we delve deeper into the intricacies of rehabilitating an old mine, breathing new life into its forgotten passages.
Jason and his dedicated crew ‪@mineoperator‬ take center stage as they masterfully tackle the task of timbering up old, neglected raises within the mine. Assembling stulls and timbers sourced from trees harvested and milled by Jason himself, witness the precise technique and skill employed to create a secure and supportive environment.
Experience the meticulous process of strategically placing these timbers, not only to ensure the safety of the miners but also to bolster the integrity of the mine's structure. Each placement is a testament to the art of preserving history while paving the way for a promising future of gold exploration.
As the stulls and timbers intertwine with the mine's history, this episode showcases the synergy of craftsmanship, determination, and passion that defines our mission of revival. Stay tuned as we delve even deeper, step by step, into the mine's depths in our relentless quest for the precious gold hidden within.

Jeez Jason, I've gotta say that as a guy who has worked in a lot of old workings around the world, my pucker factor was pegged when you guys were standing in that open raise and pounding hammers. Glad to see you made the area safe though. Gotta be done, so you must understand the risks, and get it done. Accountants at head office don't get that concept.

@Wds__99 11 месяцев назад

I had the same thought. I’d like to see a compressed air balloon for overhead protection.

@dawnac6453 11 месяцев назад

I do most of my timbering like that hanging off safety ropes and harness. At least until I can get a temp working platform built to work off of... Even then I'm still in a safety harness tied off with ropes.

@loyalkuhn5778 11 месяцев назад

A scaling bar is probably on of the best tools for rock fall safety. You can hunt and locate dead sounding areas, remove loose widowmakers, and overall protect the miners from rockfall or determine where a rockfall is most likely to occur with it.

@TimErickson-oc6sd 11 месяцев назад

I liked that you showed the scaling process. I knew someone that was hit by a 30 pound rock in a tunnel project fractured several vertebra and caused Braun damage .

@bigoldgrizzly 11 месяцев назад

Braun damage - that was a close shave ;

@carlthor91 11 месяцев назад

Safe scaling techniques: 1) Use the proper length steel bar, sound (listen to) the rock 2) Have good footing and a place for rock to land 3) Have a good retreat, anticipate where the rock will fall and be aware of the unexpected fall of muck 4) Scale from good ground to bad 5) Check scale frequently during the shift The last one is important, don't let your guard down. Best wishes from Northern Canada.

@EddieSchirmer 11 месяцев назад

also, i wanted to mention a type of device or machine i was thinking of. it is similar to those machines used in the Australian Opal mines where it uses a rotary bur, or toothed carver to scrape out the face wall. but, in this case ti would be a robotic arm with appropriately lengthened joints and such, with a diamond carving drum bit tool. basically, it would spin with a grinding action against the hard rock face and "scoop" out material as it advances forwards into the rock. then by shifting positions it could carve out material using a programed advancing and positioning movement mechanism, so it could be automated to a certain extent. so, unlike a tube drip the axis of rotation is parallel to the rock face, so it would make a dish shaped carved space, up and into the depth of its shaft, or at least 6 inches deep per pass, or depending on the diameter of the carving drum itself. it may not be as quick as blasting, but it could be used to come back and shape the sides of a space for finishing a tunnel walls. it may just be aesthetic use, but it could be used in various ways if fed with power and with a certain bit replacement schedule, could be allowed to run 24/7 and follow a set pattern of advancement into a mine. it could also have multiple arms working in concert, a bit like a conventional tunnel borer machine, but a lot more versatile in positioning and shape of tunnel potential, since you coudl do full circular, or vaulted conical, or rounded half circle, and more possible shapes. it is also possible, it coudl be used to directly carve into a vein structure, to reduce the "waste" rock cut, which could be blasted after the fact once you have carved out enough of the "Pay Rock" material. especially if you could carve up to a 2 foto space and as deep as 6 to 10 feet or more, depending on the length of the robotic arm you used. since it could carve into pay rock, Ore etc, it could use a vacuum attachment to collect that material, even if water was Not used. or if it was used, could be used to collect the already powdered ore, and set it directly onto a shaker table, via "wet belt" or piped material transfer. if it is free-mill gold of course. anyways, im rambling lol.

@PRC533 11 месяцев назад

Scaling is so incredibly important. I investigated an injury at a tunneling project where the miners scaled in every shift and did bolt-up as necessary. Unfortunately, the operator of the jumbo drill was struck by a large falling rock from the ceiling and broke his back. He survived but is still paraplegic as far as I know.

@Hector-cs7mj 11 месяцев назад

@lotharschiese8559 11 месяцев назад

15:35 I would want to chisel out a little pocket 2 inches deep for the timber to sit in and drive all the wedges from the downslope side upwards, the way you drove in the wedges from the top down, the timber will easily kick out. As extra support would drill a pair of holes into the rock on the downward side of each stall and stick in 2 pieces of steel rod with a slot cut a couple of inches to receive steel wedges. Does that raise lead to an upper adit? A chunk of rock the size of a wheelbarrow coming down the chute will release tremendous energy when it comes to a stop.

@seldoon_nemar 11 месяцев назад

Jason, have you tried a deadblow hammer for installing those stulls? I feel like one of those bright orange plastic ones would both drive the wood harder and not destroy it as much. Annoying to have to bring an extra hammer, but I think it's worth a try with how much more oomph they can give for something like that

@oldduffergolf 11 месяцев назад

Jason, Thanks for another great video. I have a comment on your video lighting. I had mentioned I used 3 lights for video. Reflected (with umbrella) left and right and a third behind the subject. I realize that means tripods and extra lights. More stuff to hall in and can get in the way. When you guys were at Cerro Gordo I noticed Dan Hurd carried a very bright flashlight that made a huge difference. I think he had one on his hard hat or camera and a hand held in in other hand. It's hard to light something like the raise without a very bright light. I'm not exactly sure what to recommend. The Milwaukee light works well. You can't hold lights and work. Thanks again for the great videos. I think lighting behind you somehow would brighten things enough when possible. Milwaukee Rocket Tower is 2000 lumens or Milwaukee M18 Rover 4000 lumens. Olight 4200 or 4600 lumen flashlight.

@roguearts1382 11 месяцев назад

The Black Diamond mines were wide open 60 years ago when my 5th grade class started exploring the soft coal mines. Complete with air shafts that went straight down for ventilation. One we entered had loose coal on the floor that use to be on the ceiling, and we proceeded with caution looking for an old Dynomite box in a big cavern. Not finding it and the air was getting bad so we headed back out the way we came. Yours truly went off the path and grabbed a boulder the size of your mother-in-law and when I pulled myself up it came loose, so now I'm holding it still while everyone scrambled out. When I let go and jumped to the path, it went tumbling down to where we all just were. They have since closed off most of the mines and it is now a Park with guided tours no less. Too many people were getting lost and hurt because they didn't know the mines, limestone sand, bad air and air shafts. I explored and knew most of the mines, even found a small mound where they kept the Dynomite cool. Was lost about a mile down for 5 hours when the flare went out, good thing we had some friends outside the cave to go for help. Howard had new sneakers on and they followed his footprints right to us, again this was all my fault, had to go to court and everything, even made the newspaper. Like the way things are proceeding on your end, I would be the guy poking everything with that rod. Oxygen meter and ventilation are my suggestions.

@ollim619 11 месяцев назад

Hmm..16:12 Sorry to say, but the right support foot seems not save to me? If a stone hits that side the wedge will easily slip of the slope and the pillar is only backside 1/3 in contact with the rock, maybe can split there under pressure. Better way here: contact the front of the pillar to the rock an wedge from behinde!

@geradkavanagh8240 11 месяцев назад

Wondering if any of the muck on the floor as well as some of the rock you're scaling down contains missed or dropped ore. I be inclined to do some samples for gold while you're cleaning up. might be a small income stream during the rehab process.

@EddieSchirmer 11 месяцев назад

i have contemplated carving out a tunnel complex in and on my property. since im in a place with fairly shallow bedrock and glacial smother outcrops here in Central Vermont, i bet they could make fantastic artificial cavern spaces. but due to the fractured nature of the tectonic rocks some might be a bit fragile, so it would require some hefty rebar and shot crete work, and that would bury the natural stone which could look epic if smooth and almost polished. alas, its just a dream, and not financially worth doing but, it coudl be fun in any case as a hobby. i can pan gold in the rivers and streams, but i dream of finding the "mother load" veins lol

@kaboom4679 11 месяцев назад

A lot will depend on the nature of the bedrock you have . Crystalline rock like gneiss or granites will cost a very large fortune to excavate and make safe . Might be worth it if you just HAVE to have a basement , cellar , or , storm shelter , otherwise , not worth it IMO . Softer rock like sandstones and limestones would be easier , but still no picnic . Unless you actually find that motherload of course .

@EddieSchirmer 11 месяцев назад

@@kaboom4679 yep, around me its Mica Schist of various degrees. basically within the Green Mountains of Vermont. but the foliation of the rocks is almost vertical due to the tectonic folding, fracturing, and mega-thrusting from events hundreds of millions of years ago. so, the trouble, would be to have any loose fractured rock in slabs overhead. so yeah, it would be an expensive job to carve out and stabilize in many places. alas, i can dream, but it would depend on the nature of the rock stability indeed.

@entrepreneurlife649 11 месяцев назад

Woodworking is already a lower precision craft (vs machining). Then pallet building is further down the precision trailer where +/- 1/4" is fine. I suspect the mine shaft woodworking is another level below pallets. As long as the load bearing posts are tight, it's good.
