Funny, we work with commercial ops and prospectors from all over the world.
From massive ops to small artisanal miners.
It's just fun stuff to see.

Bunch of guys digging and feeding a smaller unit. They're building a larger version

I hope that mining operation isn't being used to finance those activities that come to mind...

In that photo of your guys making the mat...is that all one long mat?
Love seeing that chunky gold.

For 50 grand I can get a personal size bucket ladder dredge from china LOL, I doubt it would work well at our mine, its thick with cobbles that I could see breaking those little buckets quick.

Yeah, the bucket dredges you can get on Alibaba.com are not durable but they are cheap
