hey guys my name is Jason with Mount Baker Mining and metals and on today's video I've
got an ore sample from a customer we're going to run it through our jaw Crusher Hammer Mill
and Shaker table and we'll collect samples of one two three and four that will send back to him for
analysis but I wanted to take a video so you guys can see how the equipment works and do a little
equipment demonstration for you here's a look at our sample this came out of Nevada here and these
are rocks from an old historic gold mine so we're hoping that we have some gold and silver values in
them today but I'm going to take this bucket I'm going to run it through our 6x10 jaw Crusher here
the Rocks The Ore will come down through these Jaws
Crush down to about half or three quarter inch minus and I'll take them over to the Hammer Mill
here we'll run it through the hammer Mill it'll Crush down to a fine sand or powder run across the
Shaker table and any of the heavy dense minerals will work their way across the Shaker table into
the number one number two number three is kind of a midlings fraction that's where the sulfides and
some of the other stuff that is more dense than the tailings but not dense enough to make it up
on the cleaning plane they'll end up in that bucket there and then the waist the quartz and
everything else will come down into the number four here into our tailings pond the water is
completely recycled through the system and we pump water up to the Hammer Mill to keep the dust down
and everything nice and fluid makes a nice slurry down on the Shaker table and then the water supply
to the Shaker table gets recirculated as well start this stuff up and we'll get to crushing
so the reason why we do these is so we can demonstrate the equipment for the customer
and show them how it works with their or their samples their rocks whatever we do take samples
off the Shaker table and send them back for their analysis but what this sample is not very good at
telling the customer is the percent recovery or how much gold or silver or values is in there
ore because the hammer Mill and the Shaker table even though we do our best to get them nice and
clean we cannot guarantee that all the gold all the values have been removed from the system so
I've run samples through this Dan herds run samples through this we have customers that
run samples through this and so I can't guarantee that the values that you all get if you're going
to run a sample with us in the number one and number two is the actual value of your ore so
I just wanted to put that out there if you guys are thinking about sending us a sample we can
run them we can show you how the equipment works with your ore with your rocks but it's not a very
good way to determine the value you have in your ore or the value that our equipment can recover
foreign
thank you
we got the sample finished up I got the table all brushed down
and here's our sample and number one and number two these are the high grade samples this is
where pretty much any free gold is going to be in the number one and this is where most of the
sulfides are going to be there was an excessive amount of sulfides that overflow would have gone
here into the number three there weren't a whole lot but there's the sample of the number three
and then this is a sample of the number four tailings this is an all of them this is just
a sample I got out of the number four trough there so we will bag these up and send them back to the
customer but I'm curious I'm going to put this stuff in a pan and see if there's any gold here
in the number one we'll take a look and see what uh what we can find in there here's our number
one I'm going to pan into this blue catch pan so I'm not going to lose anything and once we take a
look here at the number one in the green pan I'll put it all back together and we'll send it back to
the customer well here's our stuff let's see if I can get it shaded here so you can kind of see
but this is the probably a sulfide
or maybe an oxide since it's been sitting on the surface so long but this is the heaviest stuff
and I'm not quite sure what it is it might be Galena but it's not blue enough it's awfully
white or light light gray maybe a puritite but it's definitely heavy
and so I've got this in the pan but now let me give it a little swirl
and see if we have any gold in there okay let's see if we can do this and
everyone can see so I'm just going to give it a little shake back here
tap the gold up to the corner if we have any gold looks like we do actually
foreign
right in the pan there
looks like there might be some bigger pieces as well
not a bad little showing from two-thirds of a
bucket of rocks see if I can get it zoomed in here there can you see it there in the in the shadow
all that yellow is gold The Wider pieces are super heavy but not gold
but nice little showing a yellow there that's pretty cool
see if I can get it cleaned up a little bit more and there we go cleans up pretty good there
starts all the way over on the left there with that big piece and then comes up around
nice little showing in the pan
all those little pieces are gold
so what do you guys think there's what we got out of a bucket
is it worth it leave me a comment down below let me know how much gold you
think that is and then if it's 40 pounds worth of ore is that worth it to go mining
but let me get the rest of this bagged up I'm gonna again I'm going to combine all everything
in the pan still and everything I panned out we'll put it all in a bag send it back to the customer
we got our samples all bagged up we're going to send those back to the customer and you can
see the value of the jaw Crusher Hammer Mill and Shaker table a lot of people will buy these three
pieces of equipment they're down in Gold Country they have mines and tailings and dump piles all
around them and they buy this equipment they set it up in their shop and they go out and they start
testing different ore piles different bodies and they can run it through the equipment really quick
really easy they can run a couple tons and see kind of what kind of values they can recover
and the great part about this equipment is if you find something that's really exciting
and you get some really good gold out of you already have a lot of the components of one
of our one ton per hour TurnKey systems so you have the Shaker table you have the hammer Mill
you all you need is a couple of conveyors a jaw Crusher module and then you can be
running one ton per hour continuous or if you think this is too much and you want like to
go more mobile you can look at one of our Hammer Mills powered by a gas Honda motor
and our sluice box that you can put in the back your pickup truck go around to some different
spots and you can actually test right in the field so there's three different options for
you if you're into gold mining and you want to start trying stuff out and seeing if you
got some spots around that might have some value for you you can check out our website we've got
some pricing on there and you can see the prices and Lead times on our equipment so hopefully you
guys enjoyed the video if you have any questions or comments you can find our contact information
in the description below otherwise thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
