Jason Gaber and his father, Steve (Gaber), founded Mt. Baker Mining and Metals (MBMM) in 2010. Jason was working at the Lone Jack gold mine, a small-scale operation in the North Cascades, and wanted to mill ore at the mine site. Unable to find industrial grade machinery at a reasonable price, they set out to build their own.

Leveraging Steve’s 35 years of experience as an engineer and Jason’s background as a geophysicist and hard rock miner, they designed and built a prototype ore processing system using a unique shaker table designed for maximum recovery of fine gold. MBMM was born as a business to meet demand created when word of the Gaber’s ingenuity spread throughout the small-scale mining community and grew to include jaw crushers, hammer mills, and full turn-key integrated equipment systems. 

MBMM grew quickly and enjoys a world-wide reputation for reliability as an American manufacturer of high-quality material reduction and concentrating equipment. Customers in the small scale mining, printed circuit board recycling, scrap metal, and concrete/granite recycling industries have great success with MBMM machines. Behind each piece of machinery manufactured by Mt. Baker Mining and Metals is a team ready to exceed customer expectations with integrity, performance and value.
