Testing for GOLD! How much will we find?

I have had this gold mine for about 4 years now but have not done a good test of the values of gold in the mine. A big mining company is looking very seriously at this site, but before I make any deals on it I need to know what I have. So I enlisted the help of Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals to help me to a good test of the main gold bearing seam and see what grades of gold I have. And armed with that information I can start negotiating with the mining company. Hopefully I get a good deal.

Dan! I'm so glad I come make it up to your claims and grab a sample! I had a great trip and it was so great to finally meet and get together for a video. Looking forward to having you come down and run those bags through our turnkey ore processing system and smelting out the concentrates to see what kind of values you have! See you all again soon!

Meh. A collab, yes, but from Dan's channel. If it was the other way around , we'd have Brent's monologues and Dan would not be able to place a word. Look at this video. They are having real conversations, adding educated commentaries, and working equally. Noone trying to steal the spotlight.

I like Brent. He's got enthusiasm and passion for his project. But his channel has turned into this giant infomercial and it's just gotten borderline distasteful. *Edited Brett into Brent. Autocorrect issue.

Nice. Being German i was at Rammelsberg last year, one of the most prolific heavy metal mines in human history, now a museum. They have banded ore samples the size of boulders on display. No wonder that mine ran for a thousand years....seeing the size of your vein makes me really realize the significance of these gigantic ore pieces....

@JMaahs23 2 года назад

I've been watching you both separately for some time. What a treat to see you together! That was so much fun. Thank you for answering a question I've had. Why doesn't Dan have more equipment and gold recovery where he digs? Ah, because he's a prospector! Perfect. Thrill of the search and discovery (and perhaps a profit from leasing). Seems so obvious now. Wish you much success Dan and looking forward to more adventures.

I wonder if molydudium can leach into quartz creating a blue quartz crystal, though it is broken crystal point it is worn but but clear blue crystal. Found in old mag and zinc, iron mine. The mine is older than mine records, said near there or that very mine produced near 3,800 $ in gold, pre '49er's. It was abandoned.

Hey Dan , I’m an inventor (Tinkerer) Dan you may try taking a large bass speaker with rad thumping bass music. Use sound to help split your placer rock samples along with your hammer. Reasoning of this is you’ve probably seen thumping bass make glass wave with sound waves…. That’s the thinking

Really good episode guys. If I wasnt 12thousand miles away down Under I would have sworn that ore came out of a little deposit I prospected a couple yrs back. The reddy brown boxwork ore at about 12.10 was a dead ringer for the better stuff I picked up on the collar of the shaft. I love the american guy using metric units of weight and the canadian using imperial units. LOL🤣

@kellymeade4587 2 года назад

Very awesome Dan!!! I’m in North Carolina in the foothills, and Have found molybdenite flakes in Quartz rock in the creek. It it’s very soft and smears like grease, not like any mica… I did research and discovered it was molybdenite crystals. I also have found flakes of gold, garnet, rutile, corundum, Feldspar, and tourmaline in the stream. It has 5 springs that begin downstream on the property within 100 feet of each other, after the main spring below the hillside. The open pit, was estimated to be dug back in the hillside in the 1800s… along with that, found a small pack mule shoe, that fits in my hand pit. It opens up into a bulb shape into the hillside. No water ever flows through this when it rains …A friend that was the erosion specialist and forestry specialist check this and he said it was definitely man-made. It’s Not on any maps. I’ve searched deep and nothing is showing this old open pit mine. I Found a geologic map, and there was a small fault zone several miles long, ending real close to this property. This probably explains all the mineralization , and all the high flowing Springs… in close proximity. They are on Opposite sides of the deep valley! After Seeing this… I guess molybdenite is a good mineral , to be found with gold. There’s mineralized Quartz all over the property, in around the pit and in the stream.

Hi Dan, Whatever happens after your first assay, please don't let go of that claim ! Even if it's not Gold rich on the face of it, as you stated "there's 3 levels of it" so far....! At the least you have ton's of specimen grade ore. With all the galena, moly, possibly silver and more in sulfides. The sales would fill your pockets and your bank account too ! Even better than OPS claim. Great video, as always !

It’s so mad watching you pull out the minerals and especially that huge piece of Molly I work for a metallurgy company and we actually do the samples when they come in crushed up and do the fire assay to determine what and how much Au or Ag there is in that part of the mind . Dan I love watching your channel and as someone who has to assays were am weighing pure Molly in to glass beads for X-ray fluorescence I have to say that mine you have there is so cool 😎 and that rat was so cute 🥰 it looked all fully. I hope your fire assays show tonnes and tonnes of gold for you as you and your family deserve it you work so hard 🥰❤️🥰

@loriknechtel2387 2 года назад

Hello. I been watching your channel for the past couple of days. Today I noticed that you said you have a problem with tics. If you carry a small bottle of baby oil, you can easily get the tics off without losing the head. All you got to do is fill the lid and cap the tic with the baby oil and it will pull its own head out of your skin and it will not hurt. Just give it about 5 minutes under the lid. Tip the lid over and the tic will be in the lid. Just dispose by throwing the tic down. A tic has 2 air holes. That's how they breath and can still breath while burring its head in the skin of their victims. Pass this on. And those pack rats, If you want to get rid of them without handling them. Feed them some baker's yeast. They love it.

Amazes me that somewhere in those rocks is gold you can't really see until crushed and separated. Quartz I am accustomed to seeing but when I look at these iron rocks with mixed colors it really takes an educated mind to have hope of seeing any gold. Way to go guys, let us know how it comes out.

@drfill9210 2 года назад

At 15:50 I spotted something interesting. I'm a soil scientist for agriculture, not a geologist... but if you are looking for sulfides, and there has been good recent rain, then maybe look to the left of where those trucks are parked. Why are the plants growing so poorly? Is it possible the soil pH has been affected by sulfides? I'd take a sample where the plants are brown...
