In this adventure in hard rock mining, I explore the spooky Blue Chip mine and collect 500 lbs of quartz vein material from the spot Dave told me to dig. This material will be taken back to the hard rock processing plant and run through the crushers and the Icon i150 to determine gold values in this area of the mine. I had to cut this video into two parts because on the second day I find a great discovery that changes the game plan for the mine. And in fact there will be a third or even fourth part as we will be going back.
This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and YouTuber, as part of his YouTube channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.
