There are a few soft tellurides. Hessite, tellurbismuth or tetradymite i was thinking after Jason showed them bending in his video. The metal blobs from mighty mill might be some.
Hi brother, Merry Christmas to you. Hope you and your family are having a great time. As you asked for suggestions, I will imput my own, here it goes: The goal of panning is to know if your material has gold, and indeed it does. Therefore you should move away from that step, XD. I saw many of those in this video. Now you have material which has gold in it, how to extract it? 1st step: roast it, that will surely convert those sulfides into oxides and free most of the trapped gold. 2nd step: convert those oxides into glass in the furnace, add sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to the mix to liquify your material. Whatever is metal will have some value. Separate the slag. 3rd step: Use portland cement to make a cupel and start the cupellation of your metal. Once done, use a piece of glass as on the material to slag more of your material. 4th step: Refine, you already know how to go from here 😂❤
Hi Mike, I really enjoy all your thunking out loud! Great way to motivate the brain cells. You might try taking about half of the sulfides and just cupel them instead of milling, panning, & smelting. Add about 15 grams of Bismuth to the cupel. Fantastic video! Thumbs up! Merry Christmas! Jim
Nice job, but I don't think the Pyrite will "pound round" as it is usually a hard Rocky gemstone that will shatter into smaller crystals. Same w quartz and hard Rocky material. Edit in, I guess you figured it out 😂😂😂
Refine the tellurium, use a chemical extraction. See if you can recover the bismuth. Everyone gets the gold, no one goes after anything else. Tellurium is supposedly as rare as platinum. Not worth 😕 much, but when will you ever get another chance?
I have years worth of my stuff to get through but was thinking of the trending price of gold. That said if you buy or meant i buy a bunch of the ore. I may break even today. He knows what its worth. But if you stack it away i mean i stack it away for ten more years. The price of gold climbing means my future self should get some fun and turn a profit. Just thinking. You do the things you like to do.
You might be right. I don't know how it got mixed in with Jason's ore? Maybe I used one of those sieves for e-waste in the past? I know I took apart the Mighty Mill and thoroughly cleaned it out before using it on the ore.
Nice change of pace. Good video 👍. Merry Christmas from Australia I’m just about to crack a beer and have lunch. Be safe everyone
Looking great Mike. Can't wait to see the next video and merry Christmas.
You're a legend for doing these videos! Thank you

Finding gold tellurides is maybe even more exciting than native gold! It is to me at least. Very cool video!
Merry Christmas! Looking forward to seeing how you proceed. Can't wait for the next video!!
Woooo first 🎉 Merry Christmas
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
Oh and Merry Christmas to you and the family. Hope next year goes as well as this without the named storms.
Can't wait till tomorrow when i open my present 😊
Looking forward to future videos regarding Jason’s ore. Also curious about your other rock crusher.
Merry Christmas my friend
Cant wait for the next video! I'm betting %80 of the Greys are gold. also Merry Christmas!!!

Enjoying Mike watching you until I start on y box from Jason

At 17.45 there is a piece of gold in quartz

Telluride ore has a gravity of 9.1- 9.3 Calaverite is the primarily gold ore with telluride.

Have you seen Jasons vid on the telurides? They contain GOld!
Your 'Wire Gold' piece yo showed at the end there was Actually a gold CPU Pin. 👍
