Copper Smelting - From Rock to Copper - Backyard Bullion

Copper ore like Malachite (Copper Carbonate) can be easily smelted down into base Metallic Copper through a process or reduction using carbon and a propane furnace. We demonstrate how anyone can do this at home with little to know experience or equipment.
Full length video out this Friday at 10am Nevada time ...and yeah, you're gonna get Copper.

I know what that is! Looks like the copper ore on my claims that belonged to my great gpa. Cool video

It's so nice to see how you've progressed this channel my friend... You've single handedly guided so many to their independence Jeff... I'm Lovin It!!!

Back during WW I, my Grandad Was the general manager of the Bromide Copper Mine on Douglas Mountain, Moffitt County, Co. Because of his extensive mining experience he was made to run the mine rather than be drafted. Later he had his own copper mine claim in the district.
Thanks for the science lesson, Jeff!

The other day I was watching history channel and saw you on Ancient Aliens. I started yelling LETS GOOO

This is going to be right up my alley as I refine copper with nitric at home. Just seeing the Base metal turn into liquid and then by putting a iron rod into the solution and watching it turn back into powder ready for melting into bullion is just the best! Just wish I had plenty of that AU to do it with! 👍

I LOVE me some good metal smelting. Makes me want to go fire up my propane blast furnace. Made it out of a 25gal metal drum.

I have a fair amount of copper sulfide minerals my backyard. First time I smelted some, I thought that the copper was gold. Damn, thought I'd be retiring rich and young ... until the copper started to tarnish.

Copper is my favorite metal!! So, excited for the melt!!

I think I made pendants from pretty rocks like that.
I had one rock, the family stone, and cut a slab for each family member and then made a pendant for each, mounted in silver. Light green center surrounded by dark green.

[greedygringoprospecting]

any quarts around that stuff. you know what to look for sonny jim

[iamshredder]

I used to work in a copper/lead/zinc mine lab crushing and analysing that stuff all day so I kinda know it. :)))

[GeorgeAmodei]

your a funny Dude & thats cool !!! ...wish you were at the Pomona GOLD SHOW last weekend? ( would have loved to talk to you or get your PIC/ AUTOGRAPH :)

[InDeathOnlyNothing]

There is an Alplite mine near me over here but it's invasive I suppose. Which I just learned that rocks can be invasive. Weird. I find it hard to tell some rocks apart. Got to look at them alot more.

[darrentaylor]

Hey Jeff how have you been this is Darren from yuma az just wanted to drop in and say hi! Hope all is well! That is beautiful rock!

[charlesroer]

Sulfide ore, silver n copper gives the color criscola to turquoise color , there’s copper, silver trace gold, moly. A lot of different metals . hard rock

[stansaju]

Hi there How are you Jeff, where is your Hat man ? Good video 🙋‍♂️

[davidsidwell]

Right on I just found a copper vain but didn't know how to prosseses it
