Milling Blue Chip Gold Ore with Dan Hurd - Mining, Crushing, & Smelting Gold
471,100
Published 2023-05-13
The Blue Chip Mine is located in a remote area and has been inactive for some time. Dan has been working to revive the mine and we are excited to see what the potential yields are. The ore we will be milling is a sulfide-rich quartz vein that has shown promising results in previous tests.
We will start by exploring the mine and taking samples of the ore to test its gold content. After that, we will crush the ore using a hammer mill and then run it through a gravity separation system to extract the gold. Finally, we will smelt the gold and create a gold button that we can weigh and determine the value of the ore.
By determining the gold content of the ore and the profitability of mining it, we hope to help Dan make informed decisions about the future of the Blue Chip Mine.
Join us on this adventure and see the process of mining and milling gold ore. Don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel for more mining adventures!

Never get tired of the time you take to explain how you have set up your shaker table. Basically learn something new each time. Great entertainment

Thank you Jason and Dan

I haven’t been inside a mine for quite a few decades .,,ever since I was following 2 others who had already cleared the side branch to the right, and right as I got to the central point of the side chute, a mountain lion freaked out and decided to make her break for it ! That was the end of my mine exploration!
-
Jason, it’s always a pleasure watching your videos. I appreciate the content and very much enjoy your collaborations with other prospectors such as Dan Hurd and Brent Underwood. Thank you 😊.

Love the action of the grinding mill ,good close-ups and that quartz was pulverized...
-
I love to watch you process the gold. Thank you.
-
I love all of your videos . I love the fact you are pretty much always out in nature, next to a pretty river or creek and It doesn’t matter much to me if you get skunked. I will always watch your content. You can put up all your videos that you haven’t found gold . Do it for the people. We will watch all of them ! Thanks
