Recent prospect.

All i can contribute to the cause, been mostly drywashin n bleepin. Rained last night so drywash seasons done. I will get some hardrock stuff for youall soon. i found a little piece last week might put me on to my next dig.

It will be all hand work to far out for drillin and no access for a vehicle.
I call these type digs a walk in, now if i can get some body to help carry my tools.

Hope this gets the minin juices flowin.....

I will post pics of the millsite build once I get the 8x12” Jaw crusher shipped here

Pretty much consists of-
8x12” jaw crusher
Conveyor feed to 2 tph impact mill
Impact mill feeds onto a vibratory screener
Conveyor feeds from screener to 4x8” roughing table..
Building another screen for dewatering
Screw conveyor for tailings removal
Then there is a 2x4’ finishing table for the cons

8x

Youall get that mill built yet?

This particular hole is what I'm calling a crystal pegmatite , buckets of crystals came out, as you can see had to use a jack hammer, stuff was pretty hard
Definitely wouldn't use plastic or wood here to dig with ..

Yep, it's up and running and going through it's final shakedown runs. Works pretty good too. I am probably gonna have to eat my words over the LNW bowl, which I will happily do if it works this well on production runs.

Mike, I'm glad it's doing well for you guys. Do you mind sharing the specifics of what you are running? Such as specific gravity (approximately) of the feed ore, the size of the ore feed, pulp density if known, and what particle size that you are recovering, as to the largest and the smallest? As you know, there are a million variables in running a centrifugal bowl, but the saving grace of one is that no matter how messed up things are that day, a well-performing bowl can recover really well. Once it's tuned out for a specific ore body, it can do really amazing recovery.

Not 100% sure on the specific gravity but it is being fed between 1/8"- down to 50 mesh. We still need to do more testing to get the plant tuned to the ore. Recovering some pretty damn fine gold as well. Should be getting up there again soon.

I haven't been on here in ages, but curious to know if you have made in progress on your mining with the Centrifugal bowl? I noticed that you had not been on here since this post, so I was also checking how you are doing.

I was last out in May, but got a 1964 Washington quarter in change this week. Almost uncirculated on top of it.
