Placer mining trommel test plant, J.Farmer Mining

Here we are set up to re-run 120 cubic yards of sluice box concentrates from a 5 year mining operation in Oregon. The clean up and finishing equipment that they started with wasn't of good design and substantial gold was lost. We have the belt feeder set up at 3.33 cubic yards per hour due to the large volumes of black sand. The gold showing from the first 5 yards proves that re-running it will be well worth while. Recovery is from a 6 foot long by 40" wide spreader flowing into a 4 foot long by 40" wide sluice with two types of low profile riffles (from 1/4" pickers down to ultra fine gold in a single pass even with the volumes of black sand) We are running 1 cubic yard and cleaning up the sluice. We will end up with approx. 10 buckets of mostly black sand. The con's will be run over the 4x8 shaker table and cleaned in a finishing sluice. I'll do a quick follow up video on the gold recovered from the operation (the shaker table should put on quite a show with this material!) - Thanks, Joel See products at: https://sites.google.com/site/simplic...
