Abstract:
A pulverizing dry-washer includes a frame, an upper feeder, a bi-directional pulverizing box, a recovery unit, and a counterweight fan assembly. The upper feeder is angularly attached to an upper end of the frame so that the ore can be screened and discharged into the bi-directional pulverizing box that is positioned below the upper feeder. The bi-directional pulverizing box is mounted onto the recovery unit to further to screen the ore that receives from the upper feeder. A riffle board within the recovery unit is then able to trap precious metal while clay/sedimentary material are discharged through the end of the recovery unit. The counterweight fan assembly is mounted within the recovery unit. An air flow is introduced into the recovery unit via the counterweight fan assembly so that the recovery unit and the bi-directional pulverizing box can be vibrated to separate the precious metal from clay/sedimentary material.
Abstract:
Multiple wires run parallel to one another. Each of wires is spaced apart from each adjacent wire at a distance less than a width of an encased microchip. Each of the plurality of wires includes a plurality of straight segments in a plane and bent segments that connect two of the plurality of straight segments. For each of the wires, each bent segments includes a first end, a second end, and a curved portion curved away from the plane. The first end is connected to at least one of the straight segments and separated from the second end a distance greater than the width of the encased microchip. The curved portion includes a diameter greater than the width of the encased microchip.
Abstract:
The gold concentrate recovery system and a gold concentrate recovery method capable of recovering gold concentrates from gold ores with high efficiency and stability. The system and method include a shaking table 2 including a plurality of riffles 3 provided on an upper surface 2a. The riffles 3 include a plurality of first riffles 3a provided on the upper surface 2a of the shaking table 2, and at least a second riffle 3b disposed in a flat area 12 where the first riffles 3a are not provided.
Abstract:
A mining system and related methods for recovering gold and/or other heavy metals at multiple sites along a continuously hydrated ore processing route. The gold-bearing ore and primary or carrier water are dynamically and circuitously displaced to segregate the gold, and precipitate the gold particles into predetermined recovery sites along the flow path of the mix. Boil box recovery sites are selectively provided for recovery of nuggets and smaller gold particles. Secondary water churns and disrupts the primary carrier flow of the mix through each boil box. The master stream of gold-sized ore-primary water mix is subdivided into several separate streams or substreams. The sub streams are violent in nature, with one exception, and are typically contained in man-made canal-forming troughs or multiple recovery sits. Recovery sites have one or more drop slots. A downward draw caused by flow of secondary water in a conduit located below each slot enhances recovery.
Abstract:
A shovel for placer mining for use in the riverbed including a shovel handle, a shovel blade fixedly attached to the handle with four elongated rectangular openings on its surface, a shovel scoop detachably screwed beneath the blade and formed with a concave bottom piece, two side plates and a rear plate with two elongated hexahedral projections all underneath a U-shaped flange having a stepped portion on its rim, a mesh screen placed beneath the blade on the top part of the scoop and forming a flat net enclosed in a U-shaped frame connected with a straight frame, a bottom lining forming the upper surface of the bottom piece and having the same curvature and size as the bottom piece enabling the projections of the scoop to hold a lining frame and therefore allowing the mining portion to mine minerals, namely placer gold.
Abstract:
A mineral concentrator, including a main support base interconnected to a deck by a flexible support and an oscillator assembly, for recovery of free minerals from a mixture of screened raw materials is disclosed. A symmetrical deck is divided in equal parts by a longitudinal center line plane and includes two sloping surfaces extending laterally and longitudinally downwardly and away from a feed end of said deck. Water and raw material are continuously supplied at the feed end of said deck and moved along the sloping surfaces. First riffles are defined in association with the sloping surfaces and generally perpendicularly to a fall line. The first riffles intercept said raw material and terminate at a point allowing the water and entrained waste materials to fall to the side of the deck for removal from troughs positioned thereat. Relatively longer, narrower and shallower second riffles are interspersed parallel to the first riffles for carrying relatively denser material toward the concentrate end of the deck. Waste material is washed away from the relatively denser material. A second water supply establishes a film which covers the sloping surfaces and in which the raw material is entrained. The second riffles terminate and transfer concentrate material to relatively wider and deeper third riffles, which are also parallel to the first and second riffles, further separation of less dense minerals taking place at the transfer. The third riffles communicate with fourth riffles, parallel to said center line, which fourth riffles carry said concentrate to a discharge or collection trough.
