Ophir Placer Gold Mine - An Example
Geowizard replied to Geowizard's topic in Larger Scale Placer Mining Operations and Equipment
Ophir 2015; I arrived early - April 20th. The mining season usually runs June, July, August. So... Late August, things were cooling down to frosty in the morning - that's my signal to wrap it up. A few other placer operations try to work until "freeze-up" - Geowizard -
Scrubbers; A smelter should have a "scrubber" installed in the stack/chimney. - Geowizard
