  • Hey Howe, I am a small time prospector, and a certified welder/fabricator. I would love to get into this kind of work, I realy would like to come up to AK as well, what would it take for me to get into the bigger operations? Thanks for sharing this vid. Denys.

  • @hunter69denys If you are looking for work, with a mine I can not give any leads. All of the good companies I know of have plenty of help at this time. If you are looking at starting a new mine, then you will need to figure 2-5 years before getting a return & an investment of $300K if you are very capable & carefull. Most good large placer mines have more than that invested.
