      @mwnciboo Рік тому +4

      Agreed - I think Dan's prospecting know how, combined with Matt's practical and processing know how and equipment - they both talk the language of science, chemistry and mathematics - Assaying and analysing - plus both have good differing characters and can bounce off and are deferential each other making a nice natural presentation style - is a rare thing.

    Hi Jason.
    Giving some thought to adet 2, and remembering how a geologist explained why you find gold on the foot wall, if I could, I would set blasting charges to drop the whole ceiling and expose the vein. It seems like a viable option right now

    • @44070Swinger
      @44070Swinger Рік тому

      If memory serves, he got "in trouble" with the Mining Ministry a few years ago while he was using the micro charges here on the Blue chip.

    • @Mikkelltheimmortal
      @Mikkelltheimmortal Рік тому

      @@44070Swinger you are correct. However, it is possible to get permits for explosives, yet I don't think Dan is able to get them because he is a micro miner. I think he would have to hire a company to do it for him

Thanks for the great watch and awesome help identifying some of the things I have seen and was curious about.

    An one ounce slug out of a 12 gauge shotgun would drop that overhanging rock no problem. Another case where echo-mapping would be highly useful to tell exactly where the mine goes. I definitely feel like there might be more to that mine that just wasn't uncovered.. you'd just have to get the permits to break out the C3 to go after it.
