@@groundhoggolddetecting6890 even in todays new world the unpredictability of Mother Nature has a way of turning things from good to bad in an instant… trying to share some tips and tricks along the way 👍…

Thanks so much Mike, really appreciate the support and encouragement! Agree with you that WA is super special and holds a special place for us. Old Smokey is very cool, worth every effort to get her out to the Pilbara!! It's been a game changer out here. Totally agree about the drone footage and always flying safely. Thanks for the advice on the drone. Out here we do use a hard limiter on the ceiling to avoid exceeding any altitude limits and because we're shooting in 4K it gives us lots of options to crop in without losing sight of the drone. The great thing about the Pilbara is that we can position up on the peaks and not get any terrain blocking the view of the drone. It's great to have the perspectives though of another pro-drone operator and would be happy to reach out if we ever need support out here!

Thanks for the reply, Great to see responsible and creative pilots out there sharing our amazing state. You guys sharing what it takes to mine and recover dragon stone really shows the amount of planning effort, mobilisation it takes to bring this to the world, do you guys have a retail outlet. Would love to get a couple of pieces, the wife and her mum have the rock and gem disease, they both spent large part of thier lives in the Pilbara so som thing to add to there collections from home would be awsome. Thought I knew most of the rock and gems of our state but you have opened my mind up to how much we really don't know about our state.

Hi Mike, Yes we have a store in Perth your welcome to visit 10am-4pm, 7 days. We have some nice pieces of Dragon Stone available and many other Australian stones we deal with. We're located at 42 Dale Place, Orange Grove.. Also a heads up, Our crew returns from Denver in a few weeks and I'm hinting they may just have some extra nice pieces that were earmarked from our USA stock that were destined for Perth.

Thanks Mate! Really appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed it 👍.. stay tuned and spread the word, we have some really special moments to share 😉.

We can, but as we use them for other Mining Tenements ad not having a huge budget we utilise the same equipment from mine to mine.. It also helps with preventative maintenance if we travel around with the machinery 👍🛠😜

Yes, currently we have a good stock in our Perth Store.

Prospectors walk from range to range looking for all sorts of signs and signals.... Even though we're in a developed world and we have some an idea of Geology, mother nature has a way of surprising us! 😃👍...

I use that trick inside the old Mack, Gets so hot so tipping a bit of water down the front of my shirt works wonders for 5 minutes.... haha definitely works only thing is on a 50 degree celcius day and 20 percent humidity the water has gone before it even leaves the spout 😜

Sure is! There's other stones that have similar sounding names but this is the only source of Austrailan Dragon Stone.

Yes most definitely. We not only have authority from the West Australian Department of Mines but we negotiate and work closely with the traditional owners. Agreements are made well before we enter and cause any ground disturbance on all of our deposits.

How good is the Dragonstone, especially against the colours of the Outback. We are huge fans too! Glad you enjoyed it

The beast is the best! Our trust companion for these adventures in the Outback.

Doing our best!

It is from the same mine, these days we don't get as much of the red sprays as the surface material produced but we are getting a nicer blue hue coming into play which we now define as "Dragon Stone".

Stay tuned!!

Glad you enjoyed the ride!

Looking forward to sharing it!

oh thanks mate, we love sharing about our uniquely Australian gemstones down here! Pretty special

hahaha 9C can feel pretty cold when you're used to 45C + temperatures in the summer!!

I like that idea - but we'd probably need a mini skip bin to fit us blokes! LOL
