Your new claim is way up high on that mountain ! Must be an interesting drive to get there.So many large ore rocks on the side of those logging roads too.
You had me in the dictionary this morning. The last 3wks have been really helpful, thank you. Now who is going to man up and donate that hand held analyzer so we can kick this shit up a notch?????
I have a couple veins on my property which look very similar. Very dark purples, some of it crumbly. Other areas of my property look very different. What is the noticeable purple tint that looks like what you have? Larger pieces of quartz are also dark purple.
Would it be fair to say that the following process occurs? (1) Field geologist examines the morphology of the rock and makes decisions based on physical observations of samples as to whether they're worth collecting. (2) The exact location of the samples is noted (by GPS fixes?) and their appearance and other characteristics noted. (3) Samples returned to a facility for chemical examination to determine mineral and elemental content. (4) Economic analysis made to determine viability of extraction of whatever worthwhile compounds are found. Presumably, the exploration of certain areas is undertaken following satellite, aerial and field surveys looking for visual and magnetic indicators of target minerals. Hope you don't mind answering these questions as I'm keen to understand what happens in the field. Thanks.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that the really high quality sulfide deposits [that which is low in host rock] is pretty crumbly? It is what I am gathering over time from your videos, that even if the amount of base metals of higher value may be low compared to the iron content, that if it is mostly sulfides, to me, it seems that it tends to have crystals that cleave apart easily?
Most likely because the solid mineral veins if they are containing massive pyrite they are brittle and tend to deteriorate easy. if they have a Gangue material like quartz they hold together better but having an Gangue means less % mineral in the rock
@@911mining Okay so then if I find really brittle friable pyrites I should be pretty pure. (~_^)-b So far the only pyrite and chalcopyrite I have found came through the screen of my 500 foot deep well pump and were found in my filter housing. I also found those tiny pieces of metal that looked like tiny solder splatters which look to be some kind of actually solid [if mingled] metal, and not a sulfide. Its just too small to do anything with but instantly incinerate with a hand held torch.
Better info than most channels

This ones actually not to high your about 600m above sea level. View is nice though!
Thank you!

Awesome got to like that right along the road great knowledge and to see it thanks for explaining so much be safe thanks guys
I know they're expensive, but would an handheld XRF analyzer be useful for what you do? Or do you need the more precise results from a lab assay?
It's good for initial analysis and initial prospecting but we would still need whole rock results. We may eventually get one.

Yes that's fair but well be doing the first three. And well let a junior mining company do number 4. I'd assume drilling and magnetic survey
@@911mining Many thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to answer, and quickly too!
What is the white powdery looking mineral on some of your samples here?
Busted knuckles Prospecting Hey Sean, didn't know you were a subscriber too but I love these guys.
Good stuff as usual.
Find much in that hematite/magnetite?

It's been hot out lately hey? It said 28 in the pickup yesterday.
Hello welcome and thanksruclips.net/video/b1sPa4mB818/видео.html
How can i communicate with you since i have a similar mine and i am facing serious problem in ore processing
Does gold containg rocks are heavy then normal rocks and not easy to break
Why does your title say high grade gold, silver, copper but you never mention anything about it in your video? Help me with my ignorance
It's a trade secret I guess lol
Dang it, what's in it man! How much gold per ton?
Assay at end of video
Blah blah... This is gold that's gold so you say but I have yet to see you have any gold
Umm, I still haven't seen any mining you should be named 911 prospecting!! Unsubscribing...
Lol
Yay first comment 🤠
First reply 😉
Hello welcome and thanksruclips.net/video/b1sPa4mB818/видео.html
😂😂🤠 keep them coming mate, very helpful
need more commercials
