Popped a little gold from some quartz at one of the mines on our claim.

Nice gold for the quartz. Now if you can get a truck full of quartz you might not do to bad.

Thanks guys, it works like a champ and there's a lot more gold bearing quartz to come into contact with in my future. Could put a shoot on top but it did fine. The future holds a lot of possibilities and we may be getting a larger crusher if everything works out, but that's a few months of testing and good weather away. We probably won't be able to get into the main tunnels until mid June if the weather acts like usual. We have both hard rock & drift placers to test along with the Sierra Blaster when it gets finished with the patent and paperwork. We will be picking up the Sierra Blaster in a few months if it proves to be needed but they are going to bring it out & do a test shoot with us first. That will be at one of the main tunnels, so June or sooner if we don't get too much snow.

Great video and nice little crusher, was wondering how the quartz crushing went for you guys.
Keep up the hard work with all that hard rock.

Nice little piece of machinery, and love the low budget aproach!
