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.!!
Thank you for the straight talk on gold rocks.
Thank you, you are the first people to answer that question for me
Extremely helpful. That "UGLY!" at 5:36 will forever haunt me at night though
😂😂
Great video very informative made me realize that some of these rocks I've been hanging onto are worth hanging onto thank you
Amazing identification of metals and gold in various gold ore samples. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU ,! Finally a video that identifies Gold Ore .( ! PROPERLY !) You guys rock. I have a feeling I will be learning a lot from your work.Thanx again from Butte Montana/ The Richest Hill in Earth ✌️
Awesome! Thank you!
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.
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
In school we were told if it flakes it's fake if it holds it's gold. Though I never found much gold in northern California as a kid at the river.
If you look at it under a microscope and it looks like blocks, then it’s pyrite.
Gold stays yellow in the shade , Micah and pyrite turns dark and black in shade...
@@Manatees_Rock it depends. sulfides tend to hide gold pretty well. almost invisible to the naked eye until you roast it. extracting it will be a different problem all by itself
How do you get the gold out of that rock?
One , if not the best information i have come across . Very well explained . Many thanks
Thank you for your support!
Oh my goodness thank you! I've been collecting rocks for almost 4 years now and people always told me I'm silly blah blah they're just rocks and I'm like is they're pretty and you just blew my mind i gave soooo much of all of that!! And then some yipeeeee now I gotta see if you have videos on how to... get it out...
See things at brighter sights.God bless
Thanks for this! Now ready to visit the untapped places in the Philippines. :)
one of the best explanations i've seen. thanks!
Awesome video super interesting but makes me claw my eyes cause iv moved on from darker ore in the field to looking for more of the shinier ores ='( and now I am going to have to go back and take a look at some of the older darker deposits I have found. Excellent video would like to see a 2nd video where maybe you do more of a slower close up of the different ores and go alittle more indepth about them and the surrounding host rock/environment they where found in.
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll keep that in mind the next time we go out and film!
Thanks for sharing..happy to see the wonder of this world and its usefulness..God bless
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.
Thank you for this valuable information.
Some real helpful stuff , great video dude 👌👍🤙💥⛏
I think your video is awesome! It was very helpful and easy to understand and the best part is I have several of those heavy ugly rocks that are a lot like your examples!! Thank You so much.I guess now I will go to your website to find out how I go about extracting it from the rest of the minerals.
Very well done and informative video guys. Looking forward to using this as a guide on my next prospecting adventure. Maybe I'll find a beer.
Love it great info best I seen or heard yet thanks
Thanks for a VERY informative Video
very intersting an i enjoyed . geology is more than meets the eye ...
Cracked me up and learned something. 👍 6 mins in. THAT rock is all I really see here in Oregon. Off a claimed site anyways. Recently found an approximately 30ibs rock too heavy to carry that was covered in pyrite and rust, clay and hard rock like that. Just off a trail in the right environment for gold. Gold bug kept reading it like 2 different metals, one which was a gold sound. Broke off pieces. Took home tested. .18 IN JUST MAYBE 6 ibs of crushed material. Silver, Gold flake throughout along with alot of pyrite, specs of solid copper. Hiked back up 2 days later to get the rest.....GONE. Someone left it, came back to get it or stumbled on it as I did. Made me sick. Been scouring an area of Mt. Hood National Forest since December trying to figure out where they got it from or where it came from. Where it was just didn't have what was showing in that one piece. Possible, but not exactly where it was. No trace
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I loved it.
Thanks for watching!
Hey dude
Thank you for your time and shareing the facts
All the History in that ........Thanks for the share
Video was helpful! Thank you.
Great lesson
Your advice was very good and very right . It helped a lot . I believe yous and used your advice. My picks are being checked now it's 9:36 pm , Feb 4, 2022
Happy to help!
This is an excellent video. I have found tons of ugly rock including iron stained and mineralized quartz along with what appears to be small spots of common opal. This spot is not far from a spot which people have found small amounts of gold and there is also an opal mine within a couple of miles. Your video has been more helpful then all the others that I have found. Thank you for making it. There is also some very iron stained shale under the quartz: does that mean anything?
nice and quick explanation ! thx for sharring
ty so much.. I feel like crying.. you just clarified alot of my life long suspitions.. also my significant other has made me throw alot of my rocks away or he has just thrown them away because he said that gold always is just hold and it's undeniable.. but I kept trying to tell him that it's hiding in the ugly stuff, the black stuff, also I believe that pyrite is gold, just the mineral that it grows in causes it to take on another form of gold. also everything u said about quarts and pyrite and gold run together I have experienced just that ... but he calls me crazy.. I'm so thankful for your educational and eye opening video. ty so much. now if u will excuse me I've got to go get my rocks before he throws them out ...
Thanks for this good info. And education.
Ron

Great video, thank you for posting it! Interesting about the uglies, I knew there was good reason not to toss them! :-0
This has helped me so much ..
Cool vid folks well done.
Very helpful .
Great videos!
saw this a long time ago - finally can comment to say thanks
Super Awesome Video!! Thanks!! Subscribed!!
Scared the crap outta me at 5:39 and 6:02
🤣🤣🤣
Great video
I passed up a lot of gold as a kid lol. One time I gave a piece to my middle school math teacher and she said was blown away. I said "what, it's just a stupid rock!" And she said. "That's good ore, you're rich!"
Only rich if you can get it out of the ground and processed... otherwise its just pretty rocks! Thats the biggest impediment to mining today. Its one thing to find it, a totally different thing to turn that into cash.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Very helpful to me. Educate More on how to identify stones containing gold.
Thank you so much 😊
nice job guys
Very informative and to the point. I wish I would have taken more interest as a younger person. I guess it’s never to late
I found a little piece of quartz with some golden stuff in a mine in Mexico, It looks almost identical to the one at 3:44 just smaller, nice,
Thank you that was awesome Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Great video very nice
That video just showed me what ive been dyint to know thanks
Awesome!
I love your video. Thank you so much❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you
Super helpful.. thanks for the rundown on the ugly rocks..lol..
Very informative. No one else that i have watched while attempting to educate the viewers has been as concise or descriptive as you. I feel more confident to go out and prospect for gold here in the great state of New York where prospecting is allowed but keeping the gold is Not. Something to do w " The Kings Law " Such BS. Sorry ! So thank you for the education.
Thank you, can’t wait to see what I have, I’m probably struggling for nothing 😂
very interesting, I wonder if large amounts of gold containing ore is discarded in tailings .
Wow bro thank you
That answers my Minecraft question. Thank you 😊
I'm in canda but I just found a old mine from 1940s the amount of pyrite we found is wild and what your saying I'm seeing so much of. How do u tell the difference between gold n pyrite?!? It was a silver mine ....
Thank You So much....
Thank you sir
I love this guys info, can you give me a tour of your mine? 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Julie- We have mines all over the western states, but we dont give tours. Sorry!
Any good videos to watch to identify gold ore in the upper peninsula of michigan?
Wow that you. I may know of a spot for ore mining because of your video . A place where there was was huge slide near a old mine the last rocks you showed were what the bedrock looked like black rusty with quartz in it a field maybe a thousand feet by 300 feet. But it's so unstable. And now the bridge to the area is gone. If I can figure out a way to get to it I'll let you know.
I got into panning about a year ago, gotten samples from all over from cave creek to Casa Grande.. Haven't found a spec of gold...Until yesterday when i smashed an ugly rock from the old mine i went to and boom, a few specs of micro-fine! (Ya i know, pathetic, but it gave me hope!)
Some NorCal lodes are white but have large gold hunks in the quartz. See Alleghany District for example.
Thank you for the information. I just started metal detecting an area on our property that now seems to be what was a river at some point. I find tiny pieces of rock (ONLY on a less discrimination setting) with apparent minerals in them. At sizes from 1/4 inch to 1/2 scattered everywhere. I have never tried to find minerals but I am interested now in the search. With such small sizes and no larger ones, at this point, I don't know if the search will provide much for the effort. I live in northwest Ga and know of gold mining in the neighboring Blue Ridge region. Do you have any pointers/input in my situation? Thank you both again.
Faye Yother What metal detector do you have? I can offer advice, but I need to know that.
Im a caver and Explorer, thanks for the info.😁👌🇺🇸
I have so many that look like those especially the pyrite and quartz
Thanks
Nice
hi may i ask kind sir, what equipments do you use for mining underground?
thankyou
Thanks .
