What Gold Ore Looks Like - Mining 101 - Gold Rush Expeditions

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.!!

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

[vahagnmelikyan]

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.

And then some now I gotta see if you have videos on how to... get it out...

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.

[richardtoney]

very interesting, I wonder if large amounts of gold containing ore is discarded in tailings .
