Is this new gold deposit worth it?

After my success with the Midway Gold mine, I am out looking for the next big deposit. This new site I am working on with two other miners and it will hopefully turn into something we can turn into the next big deal. But first we need to put in the boots on the ground prospecting work. Here is my first big sample.

    I would check the reviews on his equipment before you dedicate that much money on something that people don’t seem to like or don’t last. If you got 20k to throw away buy a car or some kind of investment. I love his videos but after all the negative reviews that real customers have left I wouldn’t buy nothing from him. With that being said I will watch his content no problem. I don’t mine nor have any interest in the future so I’ll never be interested in buying something from him anyways. Just like any kind of investment you always do research you don’t go off some one’s word or personality. Who cares how some one acts on camera that don’t mean Jack shit in the real world.

I would give anything to be right there beside you both..learning and digging n processing! When are you going to do a joint venture together on a claim? From searching & finding, filing the claim, setup and mining /processing? That would be so educational..I know and realize you both have businesses to run n families to support but ..miracles do happen for those of us that cannot do what the both of you do!

    The brittle lead button does show that the sulphides are plentiful. You should remember to add an iron nail into the crucible so the sulphides do not report to the lead, which can cause some gold loss during cupellation.

    I just watched your video, Dan. First of all, it's beautiful scenery with a hillside of quartz to play in! I think I saw a piece of gold sticking out of a piece you held up to the camera at approx. frame 7:38. There's a bluish quartz center top aiming downward, and you should see it almost the center of the rock on the upward aiming brown quartz. I don't know if you have seen it (or maybe I'm wrong). I applaud your expertise, as well! I learned what molten, moving smelted material is called. I always wondered about that! I'm so sorry I missed the gathering of the Hurd Herd. I missed everyone! May you always be blessed in future discoveries!

    Raining buckets outside right now and I'm with Dan on a hillside that looks exactly like many logging roads from northern Cali to Alaska. "Every where I look I see Quartz" says Dan. I may not find deposits like that but I will be grabbing a bucket here and there when available in a shotgun pattern. Your Processing day is what it looks like outside, further reminder of why I love the Gold Miner content producers. They are on the hunt in any weather, any time cu'z they believe in the prospect of finding the smile in a pan. Heck what a better way keep warm up on a rainy Sunday.

Came back the next year and the claim owner had pulled out all of the vein he could, legally, without wrecking the slope or going underground and he was crushing and spinning on site. He probably made millions...

    Great to see some grassroots hard rock gold prospecting in BC. I think there are lots of possibilities for hard rock videos that show the whole process - not just chipping away in established adits. You could even show other methods such as soil sampling, heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) - see the Eugene Dodd hard rock prospecting reports, he is from Enderby and has developed a HMC method for sampling road cuts that doesn't require any assays in the initial state. Good stuff!

    Our primary smelter charges 100+ tonnes per hour and you should see how they mix the fluxes and cons lol, Trucks layer different cons on the ground and layer different fluxes and materials then this machine comes along behind and mixes it all up and trucks truck it to the furnace to gulp it all in at 100tph to be turned into a liquid slurry and then off to another furnace to be further smelted and out from the hole at the bottom flows thousands of tonnes of liquid metal. fun hot stuff on a 44 degree celsius day.

    I guess some folks think that spending money just to find out about if it's worth the effort, don't understand real business. Not everything you do will rake in a profit. "You gotta spend some to make some," as the saying goes. I had fun riding along Dan, hope the family is all doing well including yourself. Peace! Till next time. ✌

    Excellent and through video. Check your contact zones next to your quartz intrusions. Probably just pyrite?

    I'm happy right now because I saw Mr. Dan's content and did what I did, collecting quartz
