In this captivating adventure, Jason travels to Alaska to explore the historic underground gold mine workings from the early 1900s. He’s guided by Josh, a 4th generation gold miner, who takes him on a fascinating tour through his family’s historic mine. As they journey deep underground,…

Just looking at that stone makes me want to carve that into something Dwarves would have done in middle earth.
Thank you Jason for a phenomenal video. That mine, the mill, the equipment and all the stories and history are a record of how our grandfathers and their grandfathers built this country. The current crop of high school students have no clue as to how tough and how skilled these men were. Everywhere you took us showed their work ethic and craftmanship that is so hard to find today.
Obviously the vein doesn't fall far from the tree. nothing better than seeing the passion of aMulti generational business float on to the next in line.
something money can not buy.
One other thing to bear in mind is that whether the vein yields 1/2 oz per ton or 5 oz per ton, for each ton of gold-bearing vein, there is about 6-10 tons of non-gold-bearing rock that has to be mucked out and run through the mill.
I'm fascinated by the early industrial processes of that era and could spend all day touring that infrastructure. The smell of all the old grease! It must've been a noisy place! Here in Australia, there is a floating dredge from the 30's parked where it finished mining that you can get on and see all the same early mechanical process to recover gold. Love it!!
Wow, what a great video, I learned so much. Jason thank you for your knowledge and putting these great videos up there. Kudos👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That kid have the sharpest yesses I've ever heard! 😂
What a fascinating story! the potential for that mine is mind boggling! can't wait to see you back in your mine Jason
Conis out altemade God not Lost dum poos???
Amazing
At 29:00 … is the yellow mineralization pyrite?
Are you Reed Timmers twin???? That’s insane how you both look alike, same voice and mannerisms.
While i really apreciate the videos you do i do wish you had shown the mucking machines more. Is that a kind of machinery you might build in the future? Sometimes i dream of a garden tractor sized land dredge auto miner that could clean gravel to bedrock and keep the gold
I'm a retired prospector. I've recently started watching a lot of these "gold mining" videos on YT. Unfortunately, most of them are fay-ke or click-bay-te (excuse the way I have to word things. YT sen-sor-ship).
This is one of the few channels I have gauged could be legitimate, but I'm afraid your association with Jeff ("You TOO can make 50k$ a month mining dirt in your backyard! So SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!") Williams does call that assessment into question. At any rate, your knowledge of smelting and geology is impressive.
Jason, that black sulfides can be gold sulfides, which as i read can contain 50-75% gold,, If you noticed, you keep metallic gold with that black stuff,, My question is; what is the best way to process it and get the gold out of it? Can you make a video about it?
That will be highly appreciated and helpful, thank you
Beautiful mine.
Hey bud thx I learned a lot
You'll have to see about doing a follow up video in the future if they can get mining and milling again.
This is an operational museum. Good luck and fortune to you and your dad.
Nice indoor plumbing
Jason – I’m not the type that comments on these, but I wanted to take the time to tell you how much I enjoy your videos, especially these long form ones. Your channel has my 9 & 12 year old boys interested in this stuff too – unfortunately being in MN we can’t get to any places like this, but when we have down time we like to put your videos on the big screen and live vicariously 😊 You’re the best!
What is up with the commercials. If i wanted to see commercials i would watch TV
Floatation mills work on the surface properties of minerals. Small amounts of reagents, carefully dosed, are used to modify the surface properties of the ores you require to make them either hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Hydrophobic particles attach to the air bubbles and are captured in the foam. Hydrophilic minerals sink. Different banks of cells can be used to float off different minerals or gangue. There are also roughing or cleaning cells. The theory is one thing but the interactions between the reagents in the cells can feel a little like black magic. I used to assist running a floatation mill and you could guarantee that when everyone else went for lunch the cells would start "pulling" and you'd have to run around adjusting the reagents to bring it back under control. It's probably all electronic these days.
There's a lot of engineering in that operation.
Greatest mine and tour ever.
I talked to Paul when I was there just a few weeks ago. Very nice folks, I even got a little piece of ore with visible gold. That's so great that you got to meet everyone and get the tour.
This was awesome, thanks for sharing
More please that was awesome,need too see the 200 more
watched one episode on how its made where they used auger like channels to concentrate gold… water pushes the material in the auger channel, the heavy stuff collects on the inner wall and the lighter stuff collects on the outer wall of the channel… will that be easier? i am able to design and 3d print such thing, but sending it to you for testing will be really expensive since i am on the other side of the globe…
Y E S. J O S H. Wow. Thank you
@14:17 in the 20s and we're in the 20s now, these people are badass. Kudos.
