Testing Ask Jeff Williams Rocks For Gold
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2022
- Testing some gold ore from @Askjeffwilliams gold mine from our previous collab. Jeff sent up four bags of ore and was interested to sample and assay them to determine how much gold was in each sample. In this video I take the "run of mine" sample and test it both for gravity recovery as well as smelting and determine the amount of gold recovery for each sample. Stay tuned for the super rich stuff coming up soon!

thats great Jason , really loved your assay take on how you got your numbers for the samples...... we new the upper raise was lower grade Gold content when we first sampled it and now we know what we are looking at ....... thanks so much for taking the time to run the material and get the numbers but you know we are chomping at the bit to find out what the High grade numbers are and how they compare with what Max got . We smashed that like button real Hard and try to stay dry up there .... hope to see ya soon . Thanks
all the heavy gold went threw the bag into the box with all the shaking from the moving. my guess might want to put the bags of paydirt into plastic tubs/boxes
BIG HELLO,GREAT FIND,CONGRATULATIONS JEFF..STAY WELL
Hi Jeff! Glad you enjoyed the video! I just got next weeks vid finished off so stay tuned for that one! Thanks again for the awesome trip and I look forward to working with you soon as well.
All I can say is!WOW! Too both of you! I've been subbed to, followed you both, For years! And this collaboration 😍 👌 is the bees knees and spiders ankles! Again WOW! Can't wait for the next vid. Jeff what r u upto in the big 🍎?
Jeff , that's some interesting numbers . I'd love to here a recap story on how you came to have the mine . You mat have already done a video on it but I might have missed it.
I’m sure glad that Jeff has the mining rights! The recovery from that box dust was incredible. Looking forward to some more processing of Jeff’s ore. This is exciting stuff! Thank you!
Very interesting how the super fine powder at the bottom of the boxes produced that much fine gold.
all the heavey gold went threw the bag into the box with all the shaking from the moving. my thought
@@stupidminotaur9735
Yep.
Hi Jason, I'm the old timer that used to "work" there. I was the assayer for a few years off and on. I've never assayed for a metric tonne as most assays here are done standard. As there are 29,167 troy ounces p/t we always use 29.167 grams. Every milligram recovered would equal 1 oz. p/t. So to convert back to a standard ton I would assume (and I don't like that word) that you would have to subtract .9 grams off your 90 grams recovered, to get a true assay ton. I also have another question for you: "How much did your lead assay? In other words , have you run a blank assay on it? Why such a small amount of litharge on the assay? We normally add like 25-30 grams in a one assay ton assay. I'm sure you'll find that ore quite unique and very rich. When you part your beads, check and see if you have a faint green color in the solution. It's not copper. Good luck with milling that stuff. The amount of floatie gold will blow your mind. Glad Jeff got hooked up with you. Your both in for even a bigger surprise if what i was told is true. And i got one more thing that i haven't even shared with Jeff yet. Till next time; may all your days be golden!
Thanks. Forgot to tell you that Jeff has my contact information.
@@richardbeee hi Richard thanks for the info. I found the natural lead in the ore is like a collector metal. Wulfenite looks like gold too. I thought I had a bunch of gold but melted it down and had a big lead button. Use a cupel and got the lead out and came out with 8 grams of gold from 34 lbs of ore. There must be some silver in my button because it’s not bright yellow.
@@short-fuse So Max, that comes out to 15.181 ounces per ton. Was that on the high-grade?
You did right on using the lead that is already in the ore. I used to do the same. If you can't part the bead get some pure silver inquart, Your ratio should be at least 4 Ag to 1 Au, Remelt/cupel and part. This will give you "pure" gold weight. However, on parting pay attention to the color of the solution. Any kind of green is what you want. I'm not trying to be a smart *ss to anyone, just want to make sure Jeff gets good and accurate information. I really want to see him go over the top. This stuff is like none that was ever mined in that area. There's more that i haven't even told Jeff yet.
hey I would like to know to hahhahahhaha thanks Richard for getting us the info and your expertise on that ore.
I was excited to see you down with Jeff and the gang. Your awesome recovery equipment and his killer mining claims could make a great pairing :)
Yup, can’t wait to see the rest. I’ve been waiting to see how that plays out so glad you were able to get the first one out pretty quick!
Very compelling, and excellent play by play! Thank you for this very instructional and interesting video!
Awesome analysis and explanation Jason I'm looking forward to see the rest of the samples, and the crazy amount of gold in the dust from the box!!!!!
Pretty good stuff. You will definitely want to tank leach the tails.
Hell yeah Jason, I’ve been watching you for about 7 years and watching Jeff for the last month. The two of you doing a video together was great. Been excited for this video and any other new ones you put out
Super interesting to see the process. Thanks for taking the time. Great to see from mine to bead.
Easiest my favorite video of yours!!! How exciting! I think we're all waiting with baited breath on more videos!
Thanks Jason. 👍
The box dust is nuts!
Jeff Williams is the man!!! I’m telling everyone out there that he is so friendly and so helpful to us new to prospectors. He has answered every quest I’ve ever had and sent me links on how to find gold in my area. He is a great teacher.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
Nice Sir! Great results for gold mine already! That rich stuff will be even better! Look forward to it!
Jason and Jeff collaboration on high yield ore , oh snap . I knew after you did those pans on the back of the truck , this was going to get real serious real quick.
Watching UA-cam live gold rush . Straight out of the history books. I'm all eyes and ears. Love it , Jason.
Great demonstration of both methods!
omgsh this was really cool to watch!! thank you for openly sharing your process :)
Your excitement for the beautiful translucency of the quartz was great!!!
It was gorgeous!!!!
I'm a trained jeweller, and I've poured ingots of silver before (and cast bronze) but I didn't know how to extract the precious metals from the ore. we always bought the beads!!
it's such a simple and beautiful process :)
And you explained the math in a way I understood.
It was also cool to see how you trained your eye to recognize the colour for the percentage of gold in the bead.
Badass! ✨✨
Thorough! Well done man. Stoked to see the next one for sure. I’d love to see this vein.
Great explanation Jason of your technique and your results.
I watch both of you guys, great break down and analysis.
Its so cool to see you testing samples for Ask Jeff Williams. I watch both of you.
Looking forward to seeing more of that!!
Also would love to see it go on your shaker table!!!
Thanks - that was very interesting and well done. Will look forward to the next video of the select high grade.
Woo Hoo. I love to see you guys hit the good stuff. I hope you both get tons of gold (especially big specimens)
Awesome video Jason, seeing what you panned out of the bottom of the box just blew my mind. I just love both of you guys
Hell yeah. Loved watching you guys work together!!! Epic gold too! Prob my two favorite mining/gold guys on UA-cam easily.
Awesome video Jason, excellent explanation! Keep em coming!🤙
Awesome video, great to see the results of all that hard work down the mine you did
Great job Jason. Love seeing the gold beads coming out of that furnace.
Never seen Jason MBMM so excited.
Thanks Jason and Jeff.
awesome video :) I liked the comparison between the two types your math and explanation are really quite good :) Keep on keeping on!
Saw Jeff's video! Stoked to see this🤙
Always loved your videos. Thanks for the content 🙏
You are a generous man. Thanks for all the information on here mate. Keep it up! Hope you have fun with the high grade.
I've been watching this channel for a long time and this is the most riled up I've ever seen Jason. This is insane. That mine is one in a million.
Thanks for a great video looking forward to the super rich simple
I've been waiting to hear from you. It didnt take long. This is just amazing.
I always learn something, a tip, trick, lesson or rule, which is essentially the most valuable currency...Knowledge... Thank you sir!
I can’t wait to see the other videos from the other bags
Fascinating. Great explanation!
Enjoying your work and charisma toward what you do!
Stoked for this video!!! Love the shine
Hi Jason, Incredibly fascinating!! Can't wait to see what you do with the other 3 boxes! That old grinding machine is perfect for this kind of ore. Take Care, Jim
Thanks 👍
I enjoy ur videos i havent missed one yet and im glad how u do ur videos they r very educational i learn a lot from u
I've always wondered why my smelt was green glass & yours were mostly black. Great video thanks !
Very interesting video, like all other remaining videos you provide,, love them so much,, Good luck Jason 👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love what you do with mining! It is awesome going in the old mines even with the risks. We had some old mines in the upstate of South Carolina and I used to go in the partially caved in mines. Super fun. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I enjoy watching what you do and the machinery you use!
Jason, I subbed after seeing you with Jeff Williams. Your work is fascinating!
Great video Jason. Keep up the adventures. Enjoyed your trip with Jeff & Lila.
Great Video.........Thanks.........JB.
Years ago I poked around that mine before Jeff claimed it... I hope he adds new timber and improves the safety. Very cool seeing your results..
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Very nice! Looking forward to the next one!
Welp, I guess I'll be obsessively checking every single notification that pops up on my phone until the next video drops, lol.
I've come to the conclusion that Jeff is either extremely good at tricking everybody by planting gold a few hours before he brings folks in to search with him, he's a time traveler that has gone back in time and planted gold in areas or just looks for gold and leaves it there knowing he can come and get it in a couple million years to "find" it, or he's a legitimate gold whisperer who can track and find gold by listening to and smelling it no matter how far he is away from it. I think the first two I mentioned are obviously not true, although you never know about the time machine cuz the man is incredibly smart, lol. Which means he's very clearly and obviously a gold whisperer. There's legitimately no other explanation at this point. One hell of a friend /business partner to have on your side. Lol. (I'm not implying that he's business partners with Jason or anything... It was an all-inclusive "your side.")
Quick Edit: I just wanted to clarify and reiterate that I do not believe that Jeff is hiding or stashing gold to find later on camera. It was clearly a joke, and I thought that others had picked up on it as well... It's possible that they did but it is also possible that there are those out there who did not realize I was kidding. So, just in case I felt it necessary to clarify one more time. Thanks guys!
Jeff smells gold and can find it in his sleep. ;D
Way too smart to be a circus act. His geology knowledge is off the charts. No way he puts that much time and effort into trying to "create" a façade. That would take more work than what he is already doing in reality.
Last but not least. The areas that Jeff takes people into to look for gold are the highest level of gold places in the USA. Alaska is next then Colorado.
@@wilsonrawlin8547 oh for sure, I totally 100% agree with you. I hope it didn't come across to folks as if I were saying or insinuating that Jeff could potentially be doing something like that and faking his finds. There's absolutely no way in hell he could be doing that. The man is absolutely the GOAT of geology. I wish I knew half of the stuff he does when it comes to geological formations, rock types, and all of the terms, etc. He's definitely a gold whisperer. LOL. He surprises me and others as well I'm sure, often with his ability to simply see the types of rocks and formations that exist in a spot, and he will get around a bit and find gold pretty much every time. One of the best teachers about gold and where to find it out there, for sure. Not to mention mines and the equipment they used, etc. A downright amazing and intelligent individual. 🙏
@@three6ohchris
You didn't at all. I just wanted to clarify.
Jeff's one clever natural gold whisper. As to his time machine . Man , I'm going to have to get on Amazon and get me one.
Wilson rawling don't forget that idaho has produced 8.2 million ounces of gold
I live in Bellingham, nice to see "one of our own"(miners)do a vid with Jeff. Pretty cool..
Ooooh I have been excited to see these results 👍
Awesome video. very informative. Thank you😁✌️❤️🤘
Hi Jason, you ever contacted George Wiseman at Eagle Research. Jeff could possibly triple his value of ore by processing it with Browns Gas. Would make for a great experiment!
Vastly Increase Recoverable Ore
In tests conducted by several mines, Brown’s Gas treated ore allowed recovery of up to three times more mineral. Brown’s Gas can be used to treat waste dumps of obsolete mines, recovering more mineral than the mine originally produced. Again, this application is worth billions of dollars.
wow that is your share from your adventure with ask jeff..excited to see your share sir jason.
Great job on your assaying, you take a complex process and make it work for this High school grad! Thanks, I'm enjoying your visiting this other miners, when you gonna go see Frank?
You got SOOOO many buckets! Haha time to enjoy the video. ✌
Just like the Bunny Ranch...Double bag next time. Amazing! Congrats to you guys out there bustin ya humps for AU!!! Keep it up so we couchees can dream tooooo.... Great health to all Sonny Boy!
@3:00ish - I have never heard you so excited. You hook up with Jeff and you're swinging a golden tiger by the tail. Jeff is a pretty cool dude. I remember back when he was a mechanic making oil change videos.
How long back was that ?
@@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751 10 or 12 years ago.
@@TechGorilla1987 that's cool , I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply.
Great video Jason. Can’t wait for the next one 🍻👍
WOW Sunny Jim!!! Time to get Jeff's mine opened and workin!!
That's very awesome. This is all fascinating .
Good luck to you! Keep working. 👍
Excellent video!!
Really enjoyed watching the different methods and the results, really great video mate 🤠⛏️🇦🇺
Your videos are awesome! Will you have an update on your mine you were starting in your videos?
Wow those sets of numbers were way different bud! It's amazing how much of a difference there was
awesome job Jason can't wait for the following videos :)
Thanks 👍
That’s crazy! Yummy stuff there sir!
Impressive 100%!
Beautiful melt.. lovely material there sir!
Nice Free mill gold but the entire sample is Killer Good! Yahoo Baby!
That’s a keeper!
Thanks Jason
✌️PT
Just the Dust!!! Wow incredible job!!
YEAH,we "rock hard" right along with ya!!!!
Awesome! I honestly expected 3+ oz per ton after the last video. 👍
Right on man, this was awesome. Good job 👍
Jason, I think I mentioned this, but I think a collab with you and Sreetips (youtube channel) would be interesting. You two have different recovery methods, but similar enough I think it would be interesting and you may be able to cut multiple videos from it as well.
I wonder of some of the pan concentrate was silver minerals. They are often black. Since you were trying to separate them during panning that would result in higher Au/Ag ratio. Whereas the smelt would have kept all that silver, and apparently retained a lot more gold as well. There must eb a lot of super fine gold in that stuff.
Great job, great video
good idea to have a good dust collector u can lose gold in sample.harbor freight has a decent one. Keep up the great work !
It sounds like a hard trade off between lower yield gold with panning and higher yield gold/silver with the more expensive smelting process. Interesting analysis.
Wow! I'm watching you pan off the dust and I'm even speechless. We never see gold like that in the PNW. It's nuts
Jason, my claim has lots of fine gold dust with iron dust, really fine dust (about one level teaspoon for every five buckets of overburden). I'm not down to bedrock, but I'd like to recover this dust as I proceed down. It's all hand dug and hand panned, so far. Bedrock is about 20 feet below where I am currently digging. My neighboring mines are ignoring this fine gold dust, for now, and they're just going after the small nuggets near the bedrock. The iron oxide/sulfide dust that is traveling with the gold dust appears to be just as small as the gold in size. That's my problem; I'm having difficulty separating the two in a pan and the gold is so fine that even a magnet doesn't seem to select only the iron. And, "yes" I'm using Dawn dish detergent. So, my question to you, Jason, is: "Would a shaker table be able to separate the iron from the gold when the pieces are this tiny? I could send you a cup, or so, of his mixture but I don't know if that would be enough to test it on a shaker table? Your thoughts? I don't want to get involved with cyanide. I truly love this video, and your others, of course.
This is cool journey! To be continued! A big 🍻 to your brain!
Coool… been waiting for this.
I will definitely watch the upcoming videos.
Yeah I have been waiting for this one. When are you going to show some more of the on-site crusher around that seam you started blasting last year? As always good luck and God Bless.
I think a buddy of mine has the same rotary grinder , it was used to turn wheat, corn, etc into flour.
Also I follow you too!! Your a great teacher too!!! Just one thing. Get us some clean water when u panning that stuff!!! 😂
You need to smelt the boxes and bags the gold was shipped in!! They probably have a couple grams in them alone!! Wow!!
Awesome vid!
I wish I had some of your toys, lol. I crushed a 1kg sample reef ore and panned out 7.6 grams of gold. I dont have smelting ability as yet so I truly dont know the final result. love watching your content Jason.
You an auzzie? If so I'm jealous over the gold down under.
@@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751 Born and bred aussie, lol. Trust me its all not bells and whistles and I guess you face similar challengers in your area. All good fun though.
Mimetite - sorta like wulfenite. I ran into that in some ore a few times, but did carry gold along with it.
Thanks!
Seems there’s some claim jumping to be done, nice job on the vid much enjoyed, and congrats to Jeff that’s not half bad.👍🏻🍺
hello dear friend for sharing a warm hug from a traditional Indonesian gold miner👍🇮🇩
