Re: New prospect
I just got back from my first trip out and dealt with the usual mech issues. Best fix was a metal hydraulic line on my dipper cylinder rubbed through and I was able to weld it up with tiny 1/16" 6013 rods although it took me a couple of tries. Also helped a neighbor change a turbo on a backhoe.

Re: Test trommel
Barrel is 1/2" i believe. Haha your previous posts have me talked out of a grizz but I may build one up that is bolt on so I can take it on/off.chickenminer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 1:54 amSweet! Looks like a good start. What gauge is the barrel made of?
You planning some sort of grizzly on that hopper?

Test trommel
Fabbing up a little test trommel to use to test some new ground if my permits ever get First Nations approval. Yes, I know the barrel appears orientated the wrong way- i did it on purpose to carry tailings farther away from the skid.

Re: Spring hauling to new prospect
Wow, thanks for sharing Dick and quite timely. My new area I am looking at has winter road access only and I have been musing on the absolute necessity of having a dozer or if I could could use a plow tractor with chains or even go over top with a low impact vehicle like a nodwell.

Soil samples for placer indication
Morning gents, I am looking at some ground in the Yukon that has not had much placer work done on it but there has been soil sampling for hardrock. There are quite a few samples coming up with gold greater than 50 ppb and some over 1000 ppb. From my understanding 1000 ppb is 1g/yd so that should be ...

Re: how cold is it
Been a milder winter than usual for me near Edmonton although we did have a few days of -42C. Bigger issue is not much snow here or in north central BC where a mine which means forest fire season will be brutal again....
