Blue Chip Gold Mine - Smelting the GOLD results!

Part 2 of Jason's and my adventure tot he blue chip mine, in part one we collect 300+ lbs of gold bearing quartz ore, from both inside and outside the mine. In this video we take it back to Jason's Crushers, and shaker table to concentrate the ore, and then smelt down the concentrate. Today's test is trying to see how much of the gold is tied up in the sulfides and how much is free milled.

Awesome that you have a friend like Jason, willing to help educate and inform!

Also great that you two have so much in common, and the enthusiasm to learn anything new is contagious with both of you!

I love watching both of you together! Where one is not sure, the other has some insight, and vice-versa! When neither has a clue, it heads first into finding an answer!!!

Awesome video collaboration!

Hey Dan & Jason,
Any day with Dan, Jason and Gold is a great day !
I really enjoy being able to tag along via these videos.
I am fascinated with the heavy equipment as well as the process of smelting.
Thanks guys
Stay Safe, Be Well
Enjoy Life

Jason's little sleight-of-hand when he pretended to almost lose the gold. Of course he had it between the fingers of one hand all the time, while he acted like he had it in his other hand and then caught it. You guys are great.

I’ve been binge watching your episodes for the last few days. I’ve never prospected or panned for gold but I’m already planning my first trip. Thanks for all the awesome, informative videos Dan!

I love how you put the date when you filmed in the video. It's a nice touch that nobody seems to do.

When Jason was shaking the bottle to get the gold out of the bottle, I caught myself shaking my tablet. I would like to thank both you Dan and Jason for making this video together ❤

Thanks to the both of you. It is good to know that not all mines are productive, all ore taken is unique to each specimen with sulfides. Usually, the deeper the vein yields are higher in concentrates because of thermal intrusions. What a learning experience!

I'm loving the slow mo portions of the video and I'd love to see more. It's so cool seeing how things happen in that kind of detail!

Guys every smelter I've worked at they blood test for heavy metals every 6 months for good reason .Jason if your doing this you really should get tested regularly .

[FrednDeeDee]

I found yours's and Jason's videos very interesting and a joy to watch. Thanks for bringing us along on your action-packed adventures.

Whenever I see a Dan Hurd video it always leaves me feeling happy!

18:36 That vacuum in the back is another good candidate for googly eyes.

The work involved that’s what makes gold precious

[danielday]

Dan stumbled across this video very interesting and informative. I have to say I really like you're attitude! " Yes the gold the did not pay for the gas, time, and the process, but we get to hang out with a friend and learn" ( paraphrasing ) You just earned a new subscriber!

[rogerdudra]

I truly enjoy seeing our 2 countries working together to make gold.

[doverghostcore]

Gotta love this Dan Jason duo! Hope more content like this in the furute!

Always look forward to my Sunday Dan Hurd video, and they are even better with Jason involved.

What an awesome video. Just guys having fun in a smelting laboratory. Living the dream for the rest of us.
