[QUOTE="Village, post: 51923, member: 1900"] Expensive process mate to be honest, and at this level I wouldn't even consider it. Drop the molybdenite, you know if you had it, imagine grease, the difference between say axle and light duty, well molybdenite, is like imagine graphite but denser. What your chasing is the gold and I know your not colour blind, wow, imagine a colour blind gold prospector. You will need to brush up on your hard rock mining skills, best tip until you ascertain that you have a good reserve, if you have a battery hammer drill, take that with. Still a hand tool, not complex, you put the bit in the chuck, and pull the trigger, so being that simple has to be allowed under law. Drill the rock not the quartz, so drill directly adjunct to the vein, either side, couple holes in line to a consistent depth, try to angle inward a little, then with a chisel fracture the quartz out. Estwing rock chisel no 8 and No 12 should do the job for you nicely, if you don't have a crack hammer take a look at the estwing, and find the same in bunnings, long handles work a treat on rock. You have your dolly pot, crush and process your samples, make it pay for itself before you going spending bucks. [/QUOTE]
