At Gold Rush Expeditions we receive quite a few inquiries about what gold ore looks like on a daily basis. In response we've put together this video from our own personal ore collection. These nine samples convey a wide gamut of ore types from the desert locales of the far southwest to the high elevations of Colorado and Montana. We hope that this will help you the prospective Miner in all of your mining adventures. Good Luck, and get to finding that gold!

Really enjoyed that video. It was one of the most informative videos pertaining to questions that have been haunting me since I began hunting for minerals. You can imagine how pleased we are to have Those types of rock in our piles. What I enjoyed as well was the thorough examples and explanation of its behaviour was that it was to the point. Thumbs up all around G.R.E.I.!!
Thank you for the straight talk on gold rocks.
Thank you, you are the first people to answer that question for me
I went to an area close to gold basin and checked black metamorphic rocks (I think they're metamorphic). Found a big vein looking outcrop. But not sure if it carries gold. My metal detector won't sound on quartz vein but right next to the the vein it will sound when swinging detector passing the quartz.
Amazing identification of metals and gold in various gold ore samples. Thanks for sharing.
Extremely helpful. That "UGLY!" at 5:36 will forever haunt me at night though
😂😂
thanks for showing the different ores containing gold. I'm on a new site that nobody's ever mined other than test pits. thanks again for showing the ore. you'll get better photos if you take them at Twilight.
Great video very informative made me realize that some of these rocks I've been hanging onto are worth hanging onto thank you
THANK YOU ,! Finally a video that identifies Gold Ore .( ! PROPERLY !) You guys rock. I have a feeling I will be learning a lot from your work.Thanx again from Butte Montana/ The Richest Hill in Earth ✌️
Awesome! Thank you!
One thing id like to know is how to tell the difference between the gold and pyrite in the quartz and iron ore without using special tools and chemicals
In school we were told if it flakes it's fake if it holds it's gold. Though I never found much gold in northern California as a kid at the river.
If you look at it under a microscope and it looks like blocks, then it’s pyrite.
Gold stays yellow in the shade , Micah and pyrite turns dark and black in shade...
@@Manatees_Rock it depends. sulfides tend to hide gold pretty well. almost invisible to the naked eye until you roast it. extracting it will be a different problem all by itself
How do you get the gold out of that rock?
Oh my goodness thank you! I've been collecting rocks for almost 4 years now and people always told me I'm silly blah blah they're just rocks and I'm like is they're pretty and you just blew my mind i gave soooo much of all of that!! And then some yipeeeee now I gotta see if you have videos on how to... get it out...
See things at brighter sights.God bless
One , if not the best information i have come across . Very well explained . Many thanks
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for this! Now ready to visit the untapped places in the Philippines. :)
one of the best explanations i've seen. thanks!
Some real helpful stuff , great video dude 👌👍🤙💥⛏
Cracked me up and learned something. 👍 6 mins in. THAT rock is all I really see here in Oregon. Off a claimed site anyways. Recently found an approximately 30ibs rock too heavy to carry that was covered in pyrite and rust, clay and hard rock like that. Just off a trail in the right environment for gold. Gold bug kept reading it like 2 different metals, one which was a gold sound. Broke off pieces. Took home tested. .18 IN JUST MAYBE 6 ibs of crushed material. Silver, Gold flake throughout along with alot of pyrite, specs of solid copper. Hiked back up 2 days later to get the rest.....GONE. Someone left it, came back to get it or stumbled on it as I did. Made me sick. Been scouring an area of Mt. Hood National Forest since December trying to figure out where they got it from or where it came from. Where it was just didn't have what was showing in that one piece. Possible, but not exactly where it was. No trace
Thanks for sharing..happy to see the wonder of this world and its usefulness..God bless
Thank you for this valuable information.
Love it great info best I seen or heard yet thanks
I think your video is awesome! It was very helpful and easy to understand and the best part is I have several of those heavy ugly rocks that are a lot like your examples!! Thank You so much.I guess now I will go to your website to find out how I go about extracting it from the rest of the minerals.
Awesome video super interesting but makes me claw my eyes cause iv moved on from darker ore in the field to looking for more of the shinier ores ='( and now I am going to have to go back and take a look at some of the older darker deposits I have found. Excellent video would like to see a 2nd video where maybe you do more of a slower close up of the different ores and go alittle more indepth about them and the surrounding host rock/environment they where found in.
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll keep that in mind the next time we go out and film!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I loved it.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a VERY informative Video
very intersting an i enjoyed . geology is more than meets the eye ...
Wow we are rich together with that kind of information
All the History in that ........Thanks for the share
Your advice was very good and very right . It helped a lot . I believe yous and used your advice. My picks are being checked now it's 9:36 pm , Feb 4, 2022
Happy to help!
Video was helpful! Thank you.
Extremely Informative Video!! Thank you!
Great lesson
By far the very best video for identify rock with gold
Thanks!!
This is an excellent video. I have found tons of ugly rock including iron stained and mineralized quartz along with what appears to be small spots of common opal. This spot is not far from a spot which people have found small amounts of gold and there is also an opal mine within a couple of miles. Your video has been more helpful then all the others that I have found. Thank you for making it. There is also some very iron stained shale under the quartz: does that mean anything?
Hey dude
Thank you for your time and shareing the facts
nice and quick explanation ! thx for sharring
I never get tired of watching this video.
This is an amazing video thank you guys!
Awesome video . Thanks for the great info . Just started desert minning / rock hounding . got a few like you showed . tganks
Very well done and informative video guys. Looking forward to using this as a guide on my next prospecting adventure. Maybe I'll find a beer.
Great information, thank you for the video
Thank you
Excellent stuff🙂
Thanks for this good info. And education.
Ron
Thank you for the information. I just started metal detecting an area on our property that now seems to be what was a river at some point. I find tiny pieces of rock (ONLY on a less discrimination setting) with apparent minerals in them. At sizes from 1/4 inch to 1/2 scattered everywhere. I have never tried to find minerals but I am interested now in the search. With such small sizes and no larger ones, at this point, I don't know if the search will provide much for the effort. I live in northwest Ga and know of gold mining in the neighboring Blue Ridge region. Do you have any pointers/input in my situation? Thank you both again.
Faye Yother What metal detector do you have? I can offer advice, but I need to know that.
very well done , thank you.
Very good information.thank you
Super Informative. All meat no veggies.
Excellent video and thank you for sharing
Those ugly rocks,looks beautiful in eyes now :)
I just watched this video with both cell and wifi off up to 4.3 mins but did not show in my history. We Are sitting on a lot of iron though 😂 Great videos! Very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you this is a huge help
Beautiful video
Great educational video !!! You all are genuinely blessed for all your hard work, time & talent! :) :) :) Thank you
Any good videos to watch to identify gold ore in the upper peninsula of michigan?
Sweet video helps a lot
I passed up a lot of gold as a kid lol. One time I gave a piece to my middle school math teacher and she said was blown away. I said "what, it's just a stupid rock!" And she said. "That's good ore, you're rich!"
Only rich if you can get it out of the ground and processed... otherwise its just pretty rocks! Thats the biggest impediment to mining today. Its one thing to find it, a totally different thing to turn that into cash.
ty so much.. I feel like crying.. you just clarified alot of my life long suspitions.. also my significant other has made me throw alot of my rocks away or he has just thrown them away because he said that gold always is just hold and it's undeniable.. but I kept trying to tell him that it's hiding in the ugly stuff, the black stuff, also I believe that pyrite is gold, just the mineral that it grows in causes it to take on another form of gold. also everything u said about quarts and pyrite and gold run together I have experienced just that ... but he calls me crazy.. I'm so thankful for your educational and eye opening video. ty so much. now if u will excuse me I've got to go get my rocks before he throws them out ...
Great video.....Thank you....
you guys do great vids ! thumbs up
great vid! thankyou
Great videos!
Very helpful .
Cool vid folks well done.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Is there some place I can send photos to? It seems like the ore I have found has a sulphur smell, is that normal? My sample has a lot of square pirite crystals but also has gold in it but not tested. I think the host rock is DG.
Hi, We don't do assessments. But if you have rocks you think have value, you should send them in for an assay. Ray Grimmer at assayfast.com is a great resource.
hi may i ask kind sir, what equipments do you use for mining underground?
This has helped me so much ..
Tnx for lesson.... North Caucasus...
Thanks, I found this video very informative.
pudiera ser en Español si es posible
saw this a long time ago - finally can comment to say thanks
Great video
Awesome. And so true re the pyrite along side gold!!
thanks for the education
I found a little piece of quartz with some golden stuff in a mine in Mexico, It looks almost identical to the one at 3:44 just smaller, nice,
The piece at 2:43 - how can you tell if it’s gold bearing vs just a big piece of magnetite or something ferrous? Trying to learn :)
I'm in canda but I just found a old mine from 1940s the amount of pyrite we found is wild and what your saying I'm seeing so much of. How do u tell the difference between gold n pyrite?!? It was a silver mine ....
That answers my Minecraft question. Thank you 😊
I love your video. Thank you so much❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Wow that you. I may know of a spot for ore mining because of your video . A place where there was was huge slide near a old mine the last rocks you showed were what the bedrock looked like black rusty with quartz in it a field maybe a thousand feet by 300 feet. But it's so unstable. And now the bridge to the area is gone. If I can figure out a way to get to it I'll let you know.
I got into panning about a year ago, gotten samples from all over from cave creek to Casa Grande.. Haven't found a spec of gold...Until yesterday when i smashed an ugly rock from the old mine i went to and boom, a few specs of micro-fine! (Ya i know, pathetic, but it gave me hope!)
That video just showed me what ive been dyint to know thanks
Awesome!
Super Awesome Video!! Thanks!! Subscribed!!
Scared the crap outta me at 5:39 and 6:02
🤣🤣🤣
Very informative. No one else that i have watched while attempting to educate the viewers has been as concise or descriptive as you. I feel more confident to go out and prospect for gold here in the great state of New York where prospecting is allowed but keeping the gold is Not. Something to do w " The Kings Law " Such BS. Sorry ! So thank you for the education.
Some NorCal lodes are white but have large gold hunks in the quartz. See Alleghany District for example.
Great video very nice
very interesting, I wonder if large amounts of gold containing ore is discarded in tailings .
Great video, thank you for posting it! Interesting about the uglies, I knew there was good reason not to toss them! :-0
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you that was awesome Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful to me. Educate More on how to identify stones containing gold.
A friend of mine has a lot of samples of gold ore he is collected throughout the years and he has no place to get rid of it he is it hard up for cash at the moment and really needs to sell some of the stuff but nobody around us will buy it can you give us any advice on where to take it we live in fort Mill South Carolina
I live in Fort Worth Texas. I have recently discovered a bunch of what I believe is iron or it's yellow there's also a bunch of different kinds of sandstones however some of them have been hardened and they look a lot like some of the first samples you showed. Would it be possible for me to email you some pictures and perhaps gain some insight into what I'm actually looking at?
We aren't geologists by any means. We look for precious metals and define those trends. Maybe hit up a local college geology department?
Why do none of you show it under 10X up to 200x
so from what I'm understanding is, if there's pyrite there is gold, I never prospected before, and it's something that really want to get into, but I still trying to figure it out, I don't even know where to go, I live in the inland empire (riverside ca). and maybe you can clarify for me but does gold from mother nature or meteorite deposits?
Gold is formed in certain stars during the final stages of fusion of heavy elements when other fuels have run out. Once the star supernovas, the gold is spread out through space. That's where all gold originally comes from. Once planets form, the dust discs they form from has gold in it and gets concentrated as the planet forms. Meteorites could deposit some gold and other precious metals, but in all likelihood the gross majority comes from the initial planetary formation.
Super helpful.. thanks for the rundown on the ugly rocks..lol..
greetings, then you say that where is pyrite can contain gold? Or do I have to dig more to find the gold? I found a pyrite beta
Crush up the pyrites and then get a good gravity read for your shaker. The pyrite will be slightly lighter than the gold.
Thank you, can’t wait to see what I have, I’m probably struggling for nothing 😂
What about Hematite? Fine grain with rusty bumps in it 30% black grains or more?
nice job guys
Arkansas is rich in both quartz and pyrites...but no gold...but we do have an the only alluvial diamond deposit in America
I found a little gold in arkansas
D
I found line of black with yellow color in rock (greenish color rock)..so what is it boss?
I was walking after raining in the NC Mountains and noticed a lot of sparkling as the sun came out,flakes everywhere. Notice serveral rocks when I got back on the trail, so I collected a few wash them . They have such a beautiful sparkles like glitter everywhere. It's 1 that's very nice bigger pieces of what seem to be gold and white rock and my son say rust maybe. Is it possible it could be gold
Always possible. You can crush it and pan it, or send samples in for assay!
Just had a few pics of some rocks that I would like to know what I have. I've been collecting rocks from out west for the 10 years that I drove truck. Where would I send the pics to to be viewed?
Pics wont get you a good assessment. You need an assay. Ray Grimmer labs (assayfast.com) or similar. Crush it, and send it off! Thats how we know what is in the rocks!
