Dredging and high banking in a good spot - Madagascar

[kawadany]

I' m Canadian resident in Madagascar, I worked in large scale gold processing for many years and now I have a spot in Madagascar to start my own small scale mining ; a beautiful large river with placers. can someone with good dredging experiences advise me where to start by looking at the spots on the map?

Before you go all out i advise you to do a sampling program or have someone who have been in and out the river to better guide you.

Normally here in the top part where the stream bed starts is where most larger nuggets are found at the end is where fines collect and inside bends while larger gold doesnt take the same route as the fines.

Now in day there is veryy little virgen ground so you always looking to dredge where someone else have not look.

Deeper areas, under large boulders or very remote areas.

But its BEST to look everywhere since gold could come from any side of the river and travel in a whole different dirrection.

Look a small part of the spot, it's a big river. the placers is already exploited by artisanal miner, but has never been dredged and dig deep.
