This site has a lot of free milling gold, but a ton of it is locked in sulfides. We have mechanical run the majority of the best ore, next will be to start milling the sulphides, as there is a tremendous amount of gold locked up in the, small and needs to be liberated. If we can accomplish that we will start working a part of the vein that was exposed by a slide up the hill. Ambitious as it is fairly remote and rough.

Most all of the gold recovered so far has been either highbanked or detected out of a go back pile that has been through a arastra. A small amount was run through a Keene Rotary crusher. We are about to build a Ball Mill out of a cement mixer with tires linning the tub to save on wear and tear. Need to shut down and clear our placer op first as it is at 5500 feet in elevation, and after the first big snow, they lock the gate..

loki258: Same for the all the boards too, most people are slowing down for the year. Me personally this is my favorite time of year to prospect. Sept 26, 2014 12:30:30 GMT -5

wtigersc7: slow down?? shoot I kept making trips to the camp all last winter, thats why I built my gold re-circulating system so I can be able to run dirt at my house anytime I want in my shed. Sept 26, 2014 15:45:27 GMT -5
