  • @richardrobertson1331
    @richardrobertson1331 Před 3 lety +16

    The process of combining these wonderful pieces of equipment is a great demonstration of how things should work, so thanks for putting it all together. There are some "bottle necks" that weren't discussed such as one hammer mill can't handle the load rate that the rock crusher is producing, a second (finer) rock crusher would put less wear on the hammer mill, one shaker table can't handle the load rate of ore that the hammer mill is producing, another belt is needed to get the auger waste away from the work area and every step needs regular adjustments (labor) as the process continues. Hammer mills are a high maintenance item. When one piece of equipment needs attention, the entire process is brought to a halt. Having "back-up" equipment available is expensive and when one piece of equipment fails and stops the process, labor costs continue, just the same. Most people probably think this is a "safe" process, but exposed machinery has its risks as well as dust from crushing and lead fumes from the furnace. I certainly prefer this process over cyanide or mercury, and, Jason, you did a great job putting it all together for us. Thanks!

    • @tinamathews3379
      @tinamathews3379 Před rokem +3

      I've never done any work with gold at all, but I've worked in a variety of factories. I would definitely prefer this method, as compared to arsenic or mercury processing.
      Overall, I think that it is a lot safer, in addition to reducing the amount of required paperwork, that is needed.
      Working with dangerous chemicals requires Hazmat paperwork.

    • @richardrobertson1331
      @richardrobertson1331 Před 8 měsíci +1

      @@tinamathews3379 Using lead as a collector metal in the electric furnace requires the door be left open to permit oxygen to enter. The lead is then encouraged to oxidize and only then will it soak into the very expensive ceramic cup specially made with the addition of calcium phosphate. This cup can only be used once since the phosphate becomes saturated with lead oxide and some lead is also vaporized so you should not be breathing when near the open furnace door. I, too, agree this is about as good as improvements currently exist, but it's a bottleneck in the process, meaning this is a place where the process is slowed down. The shaker table is the first bottleneck. Many very smart people (Jason included) are working on improvements so there is hope. The discarded ceramic cup which is now saturated with lead oxide is not really an environmental hazard since it doesn't contain much and will release its lead into the surrounding landfill at the rate of about a few inches every hundred years.

    @Ivanf225 Před 2 lety +9

    You remind me of the younger me. I'm 60 now and started out as an independent gold miner 40 years ago in Nevada. Not many people can claim that.
    Your practical approach is just how I learned also. Trial and error.
    I even built and sold my own shaker tables for a while.
    You need to look into water flocculants to clean your tail water instantly for re use.
    That and next time you deal with mercury tails or contamination please don't run them through your hammer mill first. Even running in water you're aerosoling the metal Merc small enough to be breathed. There are much better ways to recover the liquid quick and any lost gold. Always keep in your mind when dealing with lost Merc that without a doubt there will always be abundant amounts methyl Mercury. It's the killer, it's what gets into the fish tissue and then climbs the foot chain. Maybe the one video I watched where you watched Mercury recovery is the only one you deal with mercury at all. I have been dealing with lost Mercury and lost sulfides and thier safe recovery since 1979. Comstock area.

    So what you're basically saying at the end there is that you can -take this small setup to a claim site- and either spend a day getting 100% of the gold to assess the site, and then move to another site the next day, or you can use the same setup for small-scale processing of a claim, and recover 95% of the gold in the ground, one ton of dirt per hour.
    I like it.
    *EDIT:* I guess you wouldn't take this setup, with it's four machines, to a site for a day or two. You'd put a ton of ore into a super sack, and truck it home, and run it there. Maybe take from several different claims, see which has the best dirt, then work that one first.
