Geology lesson of the day! What does a independent Prospector (Free Miner) do. And what part does he/she play in the mining process. I explain the basics while standing at my gold mine on the to of the tallest mountain in the region.

Love your long shows. Short ones are good but would enjoy 1 hour or more

I was watching this while cleaning my glasses and in my blurry state those large chunks of (sulphur?) looked like huge gold nuggets. If only.

I love ur videos so much. I wish I could go to Canada again one day.

[fredrikschubert]

I love this kind of content! More please <3 How does one even go about finding ground to prospect?

[Mike-brvb]

Thanks for explaining, and thanks for that amazing view!!
You're deadly Dan...DeadlyDan!!😂

Great way to explain it. The big companies would never hire ppl to go out searching for Gold deposits. That why your job and the middle man's exist. It can't be easy. I would love too know the average prospectors success rate. I can't be any more then 50%.

A prospector is basically a honeyguide bird leading the companies to tasty goodies.

Sometimes exploration companies need to cover much more ground than prospecting. And use airborne magnetic surveys. Not sure prospecting is a part of the process. More small independent claims.

Hey Dan,
That was a repeat explanation that you have explained previously but you may have new viewers who learned something new.

[RiverRoseResourcesLtd]

It's a hard life but it's the only life we know

[tinkering]

I'd like to know what kind of money you'd lease or sell the claim for?

[andreasnewitsch]

Gold claims on bc have doubled in price.

[dennisbuck]

So do you get profits from whoever finally mines the claim?

[bobbysweeney]

I wish the big miners were left out to leave some of that gold for tlfurther generations to experience.
