Real Canadian Gold Mining With @ANDYTHRAXX

Published 2023-09-16
Join me on an exciting adventure as I visit @ANDYTHRAXX placer gold mine on the beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada. In this informative video, Andy takes us behind the scenes and shares the intricate details of his gold mining operation, which includes the use of heavy machinery like excavators and a state-of-the-art washplant.
Watch closely as we witness the mining process in action, from excavating the rich paydirt to feeding it through the washplant, where the valuable gold is separated from the surrounding material. The entire process is a mesmerizing blend of technology and nature's treasures.
But the real excitement comes at the end when we perform the ultimate test – the gold clean-up. Together, we collect the precious gold concentrates and eagerly calculate the results. Did our two hours of hard work yield enough gold to make this venture worthwhile? The answer might surprise you.
Join us in the discussion about whether Vancouver Island holds enough gold to sustain a small-scale placer mining operation.

A lot of us were getting worried as Andy has not updated his channel for a long time, great to see he is OK.
-
Tell Andy he needs to upload! Been waiting months to see if this season is blowing away his last season! Love seeing all of you guys working together on collabs! Keep it up!
-
Hard Hats off to you Andy! You have the passion and commitment to pull off full-time mining. We're looking forward to talking in troy ounces too.
-
Andy is such a great guy; thanks Jason a fun video.
-
I'm glad to see Andy back. I was wondering where he's been. We always kept extra fuel filters behind the seat. If it doesn't want to run at full throttle, it's usually the fuel filter. Air filters are a little too big to stick behind the seat on a big machine, but we had one nearby just in case. Keep up the good work Andy and get that shiny!
-
That mini trommel is really cool.
-
You’re a really dedicated go-getter, Andy and I hope that your claim gives you all the rewards that your hard work so richly deserves.
-
Definitely love the setup!
-
Looking good. Would a feeder hopper work better to feed your plant
-
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Thank you Jason for sharing another great episode with us. I think it's really cool that you and Andy. Make such great equipment, real game changers. In the the harvesting of gold
-
I knew Andy was way too busy being successful to put out an update. Thanks for your visit. Whoo hoo Andy, you are an inspiration!
-
Good to see You visiting Andy at his mine. Not bad for a couple of hours processing. It may be time for you to build a trommel !
-
Good morning, Jason and Andy ...⛏⚒⛏
-
It's really cool seeing this through your eyes Jason, cuz Andy is clearly a really smart dude who knows his stuff but the Canuckians tend to produce content that yeah has some info but is really meant to entertain. Hearing the numbers and terminology discussed exactly as you guys talked about it, sort of like a fly on the "wall" (or a tree or whatever), is very cool, nerdy stuff
-
I love both of your enthusiasm & humble attitudes. Blessed are you guys for doing what you love. It really comes through in this video!
-
I've been following Andy just as long as I been following you so I've watched him get that place set up and running with loads of problems but it's great to see all the hard work paying off! Great video as always 👍👌❤️💛💚
-
Yes! Been wondering about Andy!
-
Why isn’t Andy posting videos? I like watching his content and would watch.
-
My two favorite miners, my lucky day! Andy, been waiting for your next video. Both of you get a like before I even start your videos! Shaker table coming to the Thraxx cleanup system? Good stuff guys.
-
Awsome, Andy is a nice fella🤠
