GOLD Ore Smelting! How much will we find?

This is part 3 of the series from the Midway Gold mine, where Jason From Mount Baker Mining and Metals @mbmmllc is helping me evaluate the gold quantities and grade of ore found at one of my hard rock gold mines. We fist collected the sample from the mine (part1), then crushed and processed the ore (Par2) and now we are smelting the #1 concentrates to see how much gold we actually have in these samples.

Wow! I’m a solar physicist, and that convection in the cooling slag really does look uncannily similar to solar granulation! So glad you showed that.

In gold mining, the Grind is only a small part of the work! 😉
Looks like some promising results! 49 g/t is close to 1.5 ozt/t not bad at all!
I enjoy your show, and your enthusiasm. Gold isn't just a mineral, product or commodity, it is a passion.
Thanks for your efforts, Dan! And thank you too, Jason. Your MBMM and your channel are very interesting, especially the chemistry of smelting ores. I appreciate you both!

This is my favorite cross-over in all of YouTube. I love how both of you have skills that compliment the other.

I have watch STREETIPS etc all the time. I really enjoy the ‘calculations’ involved in chemical refining. MBMMCO is the one sensical ‘go to’ for quick and non deadly asset. I’m tge process explains why the mines used smelting on a daily process of evaluation.

Never thought of this end of prospecting...thank you Dan for introducing me to another aspect of my favorite hobby ! I've got some serious studying ahead . The hunt for gold has so many levels from panning techniques to different sluice boxes learning rivers and streams ....geology and smelting and of course finding gold.. how can it not be addictive? I love it!

[sfbfriend]

Awesome!! Love the collaboration videos and I am always so impressed with MBMM. Not leaving out you Dan, none of this is possible without you.

There is no way on GOD's green & blue earth that this process is profitable. The cost of getting, processing, equipment, and time = 10x the amount of gold you recovered.
YET, the videos and you guys excitement and work ethics makes it great fun to watch....thank you for posting these videos!

Jason is amazing, the knowledge this guy has is incredible

[Trenz]

What a fascinating couple of videos this has been. Absolutely love seeing this whole process and learning tidbits about it here and there

[jermchu]

I used to work at an assay lab in Thunder Bay and this whole process brought back a lot of memories. Love Dan's channnel!

[cobalfrostwyrm]

I'm really enjoying seeing so many mining/prospecting youtubers working together.
I guess it's a VERY small world

[wiredperformance]

Ok so watching the molten metal cool is insanely oddly satisfying?! Nicely done once again Dan!

[jimmime]

Thank you both for the grind and meltdown!
Loved it.

Over three ounces per ton on that last sample…. That’s worth mining for sure! 👍👍👍
Thanks Dan.

[KittyGonzalez-bcee]

The neatness of Jaso n s area and his shiny )little cupelle oven stunned me! I feel like he did lot of tidying for this particular episode. I felt like I could find anything before, UT not now! Lmao 😂 joshing, luv ya guys!

[mindseyeproductions]

Thanks Dan for all the windshield time involved with your production.

[Gems-of-Hope-Rocks]

04:42 AWESOME shot of inside the furnace!!

[danieljhf]

Gold Concentration: 17.4 g/ton is 0.56 oz/ ton I would mine that all day long! Excellent work Dan & Jason!

[tiffanybyrnes]

I love that you and Jason have done collaboration videos! And as always I love the solid information combined with your personality that you bring to all of your videos! Well done!

Everybody loves you Dan, , so keep up the good work and will keep watching ⛏️💪🇺🇸
