JADE! GOLD! we *CRUSHED IT*!

thank you well hello everyone Dan here with Daniel prospecting here welcome back to my channel and if you're new welcome I hope during your subscription today I'm back here with Jason from Mount Baker Mining and metals hey everybody we have come to play with his equipment one more time the rock Crusher is gonna Crush some big rocks today so wish us luck and I hope you enjoy thank you [Music] so we're back here at Jason's big jaw Crusher to use and abuse it today and see what we can do we have a whole bunch of different rocks that we're crushing down for a purpose there is a good purpose here we have this bright red Iron Stone Jasper we have a few other Jaspers in here more Road night to go and of course I brought down some more Jade to throw through Jade is one of the toughest minerals around it is I think the toughest mineral around it can be even tougher than steel and it is a hard hard thing to crush but Jason's machine can handle it as you may have seen in our last video both of us have now crushed some Jade in that Crusher it can do it and if you're wondering no I'm not we're not just crushing this to waste Stone I'm actually making tumbling bags to sell on my website and within the tumbling bags we have all sorts of semi-precious gemstones including Jasper's Road Knight Jade ocean picture Stone garnets all sorts of stuff but I need the smaller pieces for tumbling and that's why we're using and abusing Jason's equipment not that one no and I also have two buckets of gold ore already crushed down to uh like quarter minus so we don't need the big jaw Crusher for it we're just gonna fire up the flail Mill and run it over the Shaker table and see what kind of gold is hiding in this gold ore this was given to me by a friend of mine who runs a small gold mine and he says there's free milk gold in it so we get to find out that's the plan for today let's get at her what do we need to do first Jason I need to start the generator we'll run a test Rock through to make sure it's the size you want okay then we'll line up your buckets and get them through this thing what size generator you have that is a 40 kilowatt generator and it's oversized for this machine obviously but this is what we ran our whole TurnKey or system off of and so 40 kilowatt three phase three phase yep 480 or 26 230 I think four four sixty two thirty and yeah so this is great where you can take a machine like this out in the field in your remote location your mine site and power all your equipment your Camp whatever off the machine your equipment can run off of electricity uh gas powered engines and you just recently said yeah we're working on a PTO jaw Crusher so hydraulic power jaw Crusher yes yes very cool I've got a lot of people ask about it we're finally gonna do it there we go let's get this thing fired up all right foreign familiar with my videos and Jason's equipment no he hasn't put the googly eyes on yet no no no no no no and the test Rock shows a very adequate size now that's perfect good perfect gravel for the driveway it is Road night from the from [Music] will it fit Jason I don't know it's pretty big shot Crusher nice pink roommate there's RoadMate everywhere most of it got in the bin no I don't hold it see you row tonight this stuff looks a bit white and powdery just because the dust on the surface when we get some water on it like that piece it really shows the pink and next we have two buckets of red jasper well red and then we have some different greens and Browns and all sorts of neat Jasper here and one huge guy I think you'll have to bring that one too I think so [Applause] one bucket 10 seconds that's a lot better than sledgehammer sort of grainy but beautiful colors beautiful pieces [Music] lots and lots of red jasper oh yeah all it takes is one break yeah [Applause] muffin to grab are those new glasses yeah oh yeah yeah that's a new fashion okay oh nothing a hammer can't fix here we go okay that one might be a little large I don't think your machine will do it in one no this red jasper actually comes from the same flame as my road Knight comes from [Music] I never have the right size Hammer oh yeah you gotta take a little one down below yeah I always have the two small Hammer good job you know they make machines for that yeah I had one I am shocked oh there she goes he's a beast now that is red that's right you can definitely tell the wet one on top of the dry ones whoa the color comes out now the fun begins the chain the Jade now these are all very thin pieces I chose I chose specifically the really ultra thin pieces of Jade so that they will crush easy so you're not gonna be hard on your machine perfect you can take it the machine can take it [Music] oh foreign I cannot believe how much louder that Jade is going through that machine than everything else yeah you could hear it like ringing when it when it bounced and it you could hear it like yeah and then the banging as it kicks up and hits the metal then that's really ringing but that machine really struggled on that last rock it did it racked the whole machine yeah machine moving yeah but it survived yeah if it can do that it can do anything yeah there is nothing it can't Crush if it can Crush Jade yep and I think like one of the comments on one of our previous videos if you have rocks kind of piled up on top of it it holds it down and it forces it through yeah it makes the crushing easier for the machine when you just have a single one of like that the geometry can pop it out so easily yep but if you overload the machine so there's a cap on top then it just forces everything through yeah and another comment was that that Jade is going to be um wearing the teeth a lot faster I assume you would agree with that probably yeah that would wear those teeth faster than a typical quartz gold bearing or something like that one probably uh yeah but it did it it did it yeah and the teeth don't look like terrible it's not like they're all shattered up and destroyed no they handle it what kind of Steel is that on those teeth it's it's a manganese steel and it actually work hardens so the more it crushes it gets a face of hard Steel on the surface right and it helps helps keep the Jaws in better shape for longer but yeah they're not Invincible if it can do Jade I would say they are yeah really nice pieces though beautiful stuff Leaf off of there yeah the leaf makes it really green yeah those will tumble up so nicely so nicely you can really see the translucentness where you get some of these tiny fractures going into it you can really see how uh translucent green it is very Beauty yeah so you take all this great looking Stone and we crush it into into little pieces what do you do with this yes people are horrified that I'm doing this to my stone I've taken these beautiful big pieces and making a whole bunch of you know smaller pieces but what I do is I take uh chips like this I put one piece of Jade one piece of ocean picture Stone one piece of road night uh Jasper everything into one bag we make sure it weighs at least a pound and then people buy that for tumbling or for their collections so they have a sample of each type of stone oh cool or most most likely they'll be taking this and running it through a rock tumbler and making polished pieces of each of these types of stones we did it once before we made up like 40 bags of this and they sold off right away like really quick yeah but the problem was to make to get small enough pieces to make this bag we were hammering them with a sledgehammer and as you saw earlier that is very difficult to do so uh because of the Beast here we're able to make a 200 bags worth of each of the stones really quickly and we'll mix all these up and I don't know we'll probably put them out as a Christmas special or something like that oh cool so in in the 20 minutes it took us to crush you have hundreds of bags hundreds of bags yeah and now it just takes my son uh time to put it all in each individual bags yes yes yeah good the cheap flavor exactly and a bucket of Jade oh why do rocks have to be so heavy Jade Jasper Jasper Jasper Road Knight over there Road night here at home we have the ocean picture Stone we put garnets in um all sorts of different things [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] now I think it's on to see if we can find ourselves some gold get the table ready so Jason any exciting plans we should be watching for on your channel in the near future oh I'm gonna try and get the gold line going this fall excellent so hopefully we can see some real underground gold mine videos happening and what about your helicopter load so many people ask about that yes the helicopter load will be processed here in the next month or two so stay tuned for that and the same disclaimer as always if you want to know more about this equipment check out Jason's Channel he tells you everything you might want to know about his equipment today we're just using it to find some gold but if you want to know how it works what it is what the physics are all that kind of stuff you have to check out Jason's Channel he's got videos of everything when the hammer Mill sat for a while dries out inside and then you turn it on for the first time after letting it set for a while it really gets dusty as everything that's dry inside starts to you know break down and blow out in a second Jason will turn the water on in there and flush all that through before we get going on our material okay the table's all ready here we go thank you the muddy stuff blows off the surface as the mud flows away the cleaner material starts working its way up the table and ideally any gold that plopping its way out here and working its way down to the number one number one means the heaviest of the heavy the prime material the best stuff the number twos are down here number two is often still have some good gold content in it number three is typically don't and the tailings yeah that's all just dirt really starting to see the sulfides coming out here though today we're not smelting we just want to know what there is for free Mill gold the hammer Mill sat for a while there's some rusts coming out of it well it's doing its thing I haven't seen that gold yet honestly my hopes aren't too high for this ore but you never know and it's only gonna take us 10 minutes to run it through so it'll be quick [Music] to see there's some gold coming here there's some gold yeah let me come have a look I see a speck of gold nice piece here's some real fine stuff coming across there's some gold in the ore we're not getting rich today but we're not skunked that's right and then the gold just separates from this band of sulfides and comes right up under the water bar pretty much clean yeah there's some more nice clean ore there's not a lot of a lot of sulfites in it no it's basically just pure quartz so we were excited that there were a few bigger pieces of gold coming out bigger they're still tiny but we can see a few pieces of gold until Jason just turned off the table and well there's actually a lot of gold it's fine but there's a lot of it let's have a look take a look so we were excited to see these actually see in the water flow coming down you'll see one right there in the center of the shot I'm not sure if it's in Focus or not but then when we turn off the Shaker and have a look at the sulfide line well that tells a different story than right along the edge we see that line of sulfides has a line of gold right with it the sun is so bright out here I can't see my screen on my camera but I'm hoping that shows you the line of gold at the top edge of those sulfides gold gold everywhere very fine though the top Groove we can just see a line of gold coming out of that very very fine powder but when you get enough of it together it shows it just as a straight of gold think I see the screen enough to know that's in Focus woohoo go old baby I hope those close-up shots work it's so bright out here with this sun that there's so much glare on the back of my camera I can't tell if it's focusing and that close-up camera is very very finicky how it focuses but if the shots didn't work take our word for it there was a line of gold on the back side of each of these sulfide lines right super fine very very fine sulfide line right there on the back edge of it is just a line of gold and luckily it comes right out this way you can see the sulfide line there and falls into the number ones where we wanted to be well this has been fun so far I have to thank Jason so much for you know giving me this opportunity to come down and use uh his gold mining equipment whenever I want it is so so convenient to have these pieces equipment at my disposal of course if you are looking for your own gold money if you have to go and check out Mount Baker Mining and metals they make all this stuff and it is fabulous equipment foreign look at the line of gold that is something else even the regular camera will pick that up line oh goal that's one thing about hard rock mining versus Placer so often the gold is so unbelievably fine but it adds up a whole lot faster than Placer does right into the number ones like it should [Music] oh the quiet oh way better it is so nice having this industrial size equipment at my disposal and that I can use anytime I want to just test samples otherwise that sample would have just stayed in my garage floor forever I wouldn't have even run that if I didn't have a way to put this through so thank you so much for allowing me to come down whenever I want and just play on this big equipment oh of course yeah no you're welcome down anytime I really appreciate it and it's great exposure for me and the equipment and all your viewers get to see what we do so I thank you excellent a win-win all right so we are going to carefully pan out the number ones and see what it has in it I'm not planning to do any kind of smelt here today uh as I said it's this is kind of just a bonus sample of material this really doesn't mean anything to me I don't need to know any information for possible opening up a mine or anything like that in the future I just wanted to sort of see what those buckets of ore I've had sitting around forever had in them we won't be doing any smelts I'm not even going to pan out the number twos I just want to see the number ones what it has oh sure sure professional cameraman here there you go this will go fairly quickly because there's so little volume of material here but typically panning out Hard Rock Crush like this takes a long time because you have to go so slow this is the deluxe panning station at Mount Baker Mining and metals here clean water to start with there you go panning in the tailings water from the crusher oh yeah we're not heathens here at least you get your clean water well we're not down completely but we are down enough that we're gonna be able to see if we've got any gold and since we saw on the table we should see some in here or maybe not um Jason did you lose it oh no they're starting to come out top Edge there is definitely a line of gold at the top there although doesn't seem like as much as I would think it's pretty fine considering what we saw on the table Yeah so I just panned it all out I don't know let me see I was talking a lot while I was panning hmm well let's tap that into one spot and then get the close-up on it sure as we start tapping it to the top Edge we're actually seeing a little bit more come out now very fine very very fine but that's a beach of gold that's for sure let's get close up on that well there you be powdered gold that's like talcum powder that stuff but for a hard rock mine that could be what is valuable is that what is you know economical is having a whole lot of powdered gold in hard rock mines you don't have to actually use gravity recovery to get the gold out so that even though it's unbelievably fine might add up that was only oh what was that 30 pounds of material maybe yeah yeah and there might be a bunch in the sulfide still smelt it out absolutely that sounds like a plan actually well Jason and I were just talking and it does sound like it's actually a good idea to smelt this and see what's in it so I don't have time I've got to head back to Canada I'm going to leave all of the material number twos number ones with the gold everything and Jason is going to smelt it out and see what was in we didn't weigh it beforehand so we're just guessing it was about 30 30 pounds of material sure sure about 30 pounds of material see how much gold was there and see how much more is locked up in those sulfites maybe we'll get a good little bead out of it yeah so stay tuned and check out my channel here for a follow-up video from dance there we go and we're gonna plan it so so as soon as you're done watching this one jump over to Jason's Channel and see what the smelted results are well that was a lot of fun I got to crush down my rocks I've got lots of rocks for my store in the future we got to play around with that sample of gold bearing quartz and found some gold in it who could ask for anything more it was a great day thank you so much for inviting me down again I love coming down here absolutely thanks for coming if you enjoyed the video please leave me that thumbs up if I ever need a subscription yet I hope I earned it today and a big thanks to everyone especially my patrons hope you're all having a great day check out Jason's Channel bye
