Needed ore refinery near Indiana

[Baalsguestjar]

Hi I am looking for a gold ore refinery near Indiana. Assay came out .223 oz per ton and we have 34 acres with a ten foot layer running under it(approx 267000 tons of ore) and if I had to guess which I have already investigated my neighbors to the north and south and found the same on theirs, between the 2 of them another 200 acres. We live on a ridge line in Parke county. Thanks for the help Thomas Barsch

I am going to suggest you first need a mining consultant, not a refinery. Once you have a mining plan in place, then the fun begins.

Time for more coffee.

No mining rolled stone alluva gold scrape off top and load up. Loose soil and trees on top. Bulldozer or front loader lessons might be helpful. Does anyone have any ideas where i can get this processed near by?

And can anyone stop the freefall on the price i have lost shot 15 million dollars in the last 2 weeks.

What you are proposing is mining. (Strip mining)

Permits may be hard to come by. Core samples should be drilled at set intervals in a grid. Assays on those samples will document where and how much gold is there.

What methods of concentration will work. Gravity? Flotation? Leach? Or combination.

A mining consultant would help you answer these questions and many more. The documentation from this is what will help you monetize all this.

By the way, before doing any of this you should check your deed to be sure you own the mineral rights.

Indiana is NOT known for having "native gold deposits" (as is true with its neighboring states) "most" gold found in Indiana is the result of gold moved down from Canada as glacial deposits during the last ice age

Therefore - there are NO commercial (gold) mining operations in Indiana (or its neighboring states) meaning you are not going to find a company in Indiana that is set up to process, recover & then refine gold from ore

At best - that means all you will find in Indiana is a refinery that would handle "your" product AFTER you have "recovered" the gold from the ore

In other words - you will have to set up an operation to process the ore to a point that would be acceptable for refining by an Indiana refinery

The operation you would need to set up would be something like ---------

Mine the ore - mill the ore - run the milled ore though a concentration process & then send the concentrate to the refinery --- or set up a smelting operation & send the smelted dore to a refinery - or set up a leaching operation to recover the gold from the leach & send that to the refinery - or ------

mine the ore & send it to a state where such operations exist --- likely the closest state you are going to find for actual processing of ore is Colorado - or "maybe" South Dakota

In other words - you have two options - you can be the first person in Indiana to set up an operation to process native gold ore in Indiana - or mine the ore & then send it to a state where such operations exist

Correct/true - it SURE is a good time to buy though (in addition to what you hold) :mrgreen:

That is a good point Rick (as was the rest of your post) but concerning the above - just because you own land/property - does not mean you also own the rights to the minerals

Example; - it so happens that I own minerals (oil & gas) in North Dakota inherited from my great grandfather who homesteaded in N.D.

I don't have any "surface" rights to the land so I can't go build a house on the land (someone else owns that) - but I certainly get paid for the minerals below the surface :mrgreen:

First on mineral rights in Indiana. In 1986 or 88 the state passed a law that said all mineral rights that were in absence of taxes for a ten year period were automatically forfeited to the land owner. Rule was contested and found to be legal by the supreme court of the state and the ruling was upheld by the United States supreme court. The mineral rights formerly owned by the Wabash coal company hadn't been paid for 70 years at that point. On top of that Parke county declared 15 years still minerals claims to be no longer valid and all mineral right to return to property owner. So yes me and any other property owner is the mineral owner except where specific contracts and taxes have been maintained.
Now I was afraid someone was going to say have to go out of state and the closes i can find is nebraska . That's why ok asked the governor what he could do.
And if anybody wants to get rich and doesn't believe me check out the Lands at 8 image on Parke county specifically Turkey run state park.
Thanks for your help. Thom

There's significant gold in some spots in Ohio even.

Anecdote from Lou:
About 8 years ago, a well drilling company in Green (northeast Ohio) that I had utilized for doing our DI/RO system at the old plant reached out to me. They said a guy they drilled a well for had some gold he recovered from the muds. After seeing it, sure enough he did. He was able to pan out gold nuggets from well mud, a well dug 60' deep.

I would still like to see the original poster's assays and even a sample of the material. I can probably help him.

Thanks Lou, ours is about 70 feet below top soil, but the good news is that our property has ravines 70 ft deep so I can literally pick the rock up with my bare hands and a bucket anywhere on our land beautiful thing God does for a over the hill middle aged ex druggie. It's cause I have lived a selfless life. Oh and I found his Winnebago holding up the veil of mary at chartreuse cathedral. True story check out any image of the veil before 2005 you won't find any why can Catholics bought the right and forced them off the internet(also true if you do find one please contact me. I want to take it with me when I confront the pope.)

Problem solved ore refinery in Phoenix and we just assayed the land in San tan valley in Arizona 20 oz of silver per ton. So once every 3 month i can take load to az work the land there for a couple of days and then head back for a couple of months. Thanks for your help. Thom Barsch
