Blowing Shtuff Up! Visible Gold on Quartz! (Micro Blaster)

Using the Micro Blaster we find visible gold in this quartz seam at the blue chip mine. We have to blast our way in to get any more material as I got all the easy picking stuff from the surface last trip. The gold ore will then be taken back to be crushed and run through the Icon i150 processor to recover the fine gold.

This video show some simple hard rock mining equipment for hard rock mining for gold. We have gotten some nive gold on quartz specimens from this gold quartz vein. And Blasting the gold ore, or at least blasting the quartz has helped a lot in finding gold here at the Blue chip Mine.
