We have concentrates. We just need someone who can extract the gold 547 0
Started by david@ucvcfunding.com
My boss is part owner of a pretty famous gold mine and because of this we have about 50k tons of concentrate and hard rock ore left over from the exploration stage of his project. This particular ore is known to have high concentrations of gold, silver and other PGM's, but one of the issues we're having is that normal fire assays are not picking up all the gold. Much of the gold is being washed away. We need a master assayer that can extract hard to get gold through a chemical or atomic procedur...

Phone GPS in the field 8878 14
Started by joe@jas-gold.com
A lot of people think you need Wi-Fi to use a cell phone GPS in the field.
That is not true if the app will download maps 'GPS Waypoints Navigator' for android will do that.
In fact I recommend you turn off Wi-Fi and Data to conserve your Phone battery. If left on the phone keeps checking for a connection and will drain the battery in no time. I have a couple of old phones I keep around just for the GPS.
I have some 1000 plus waypoints on my phone. I mark and label ev...

I was just wondering how many of the members here go strictly club claims or have their own in addition. I would think if you have your own piece of the pie you would be too busy to even bother with the club claims. Heck for that matter you probably don't even post here except for entertainment value Eh

Mining claims on GPS 12827 5
Started by mtbassman@msn.com
Hi guys. I don’t know how many of you uses your GPS for accessing claims but I emailed onX maps here in Montana because they make land ownership software for your Garmin. I asked them if they could make a layer in their program with mining claims. They responded that if enough people asked for it they would make it! So if you could go to onXmaps.com and go to support and contact them about this layer, maybe we could get them to do this. I know it would be really handy in the field for knowi...

Bad Prospecting Ethics 3304 4
Started by thetaoscosmos@gmail.com
I was working the Placer Creek claim in New Mexico yesterday and came across this area where someone had dug along and beneath the Forest Service trail that accesses the claim from Hopewell Lake. This is along Forest Road 356A. Not only does this conflict with the standard guidelines of not digging into stream banks ~ one of the conditions the Forest Service is clear about when obtaining authorization to prospect on this claim ~ it's pretty stupid and disrespectful to cause damage to...

Next time you're at Wally World add these items to your list.
Children's balloons, fishing line/string or twine & split shot lead sinkers. (Less than $5.00 total, and it will probably last you all season.)
Find a spot in the creek where you want setup equipment then go up stream a bit. (Anywhere from 50' to a 50 yards depending on the stream.) Take about 3ft. of twine string fishing line. Stay away fro ribbon, it floats. (Actually you want about 1 1/2' longer than the stream is dee...

Now that I am retired, I took up the hobby of diamond prospecting. It uses the same equipment as gold prospecting and very easy to do in some of the most beautiful scenery there is. If you want to start, try Crater of Diamonds first, where you will get to learn about diamonds. Then read up on the internet on where there are diamonds to be found elsewhere in the USA. I prefer Colorado and Wyoming which has a history of finds. There is an old saying: ' If you want to ...

Panning practice at home 12128 3
Started by 17CCRAMER@GMAIL.COM
My father taught me this. You get some dirt in your gold pan (a normal pan full ) then you put about 10-15 steel BBs into the dirt and mix it in. The steel BBs are not as heavy as gold but heavier than the dirt. Pan normally until you get your 'concentrates' and see how many BBs are left in the pan. This is a good way to see how much gold you are losing when panning also. My father was a professional gold miner for big companies in California and Nevada. His hobby was prospecting. If y...
