Watching you fill the backpank tanks while standing in the rain, and I can't help but reflect on the irony of moisture falling all over you, juts not in sufficient quantities.
Great stuff, thank you! Amazing that you can get 5' of core with a handheld drill relatively quickly. Getting assays turned around is still a challenge but do you ever use an XRF scanner?
I've been following what $NINE Nine Mile Metals is doing with XRF on their drill core at a VMS project in New Brunswick for some inspiration on how we can use that tool to help keep things moving. Testing core in multiple spots and averaging data points to give a preliminary number before assays come back seems like a reasonable approach.
Paul what do you think about the "electrolytic cell" experiments with crushed rock to check if we can "hot plate" key metals? ua-cam.com/video/G-PtnwtOR24/v-deo.html something like this instead of using a strip of processed metals as source of metal in the circuit, try using the crushed up rocks? Won't be full recovery but it will be a quick "definitive test" to check if there's copper or zinc or whatever else in there. Fun.
Can you drill 90 degree horizontal with this drill? We usually run more professional diamond drills (similar to Boyles 37s and Longyear 38s for diamond drillers out there) but we got a client that wants some small diamond short horizontal holes done. No more than 25ft long
@@911mining That would sadden me, also! I' been with you two for about 7 years now. You haven't done any panning of your specimens in a long time. Even one pan would be awesome.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun. Your doing great work. Gold Squad Out!!!
Wow some proper kit there, good you have vehicle access there

need to get one of these packable diamond drills!
Nice and very simple the sampling, very effective..
Thanks 911
You guys did pretty good using a hand held. As usual you’re getting precipitation but at least it wasn’t frozen this time.
Great job, thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure
Thanks 911
Loving the mass content recently !
Right? Me too!
Great video, very informative...thanks for sharing

Just wait till we get 25' 😏. Assays take long and we have used XRFs beforw
Cool, eh!

Like seeing the drill 👍🏼
Been driving past the showing 2x day for 25 years... hope it comes to something
Very cool! Thanks for posting. I'd love to hear some of your stories please and thanks. All the best from Victoria.
Open the mine..bring in the heavy equipment....!
Excellent core drilling tools and very useful for plumbing PVC pipe through rock. Where can i buy one?
Can't replace J2 with those new-fangled tools....!!!
You need casing for the unconsolidated weathered rock off the top.
Drill baby Drill
Yes!
May i know the name of the hand-held drill being used in the video? Thank you!
I think it would be interesting if you could put a catch system in place allowing you to pan the cuttings.
Classic! Always a good idea to pan the cuttings.

super..
It was less boooooring when you did some panning!!
What model of drill are you using there?
Shaw portable backpack drill (41mm core size)
Can we use for manganese mine??
Jackpot
Oke boss? Is 👍👍👍
I have a chance to buy a Shaw with Kawasaki just like this one any idea if it’s worth the gamble nd how much to pay?
Roughly 12 grand with 7.5m of drill string
@@911mining I did purchase it yesterday. Only missing parts is -water jugs pump, and loose material bit. But has 4 bags of 2 feet sleeves over 20.
Where can i find this machine?
IRL supplies
SHOW US THE GOLD ALREADY! OR I AM UNSUBSCRIBING!
That would make me upset 😔.
