Members of the ICMJ Mining Journal Forum may appreciate discussion on the subject of Amalgamation. I hope that this thread can develop into a productive discussion on the process of amalgamation. - Geowizard

I have been studying the Reverse Helix Methods of gold recovery recently. I am impressed with the efficiency, compactness, and portability of these self-contained systems. It would be interesting to have open discussion on how well these work in actual practice. - Geowizard

California Summer Gold - Digging In The Right Places
Geowizard replied to Reno Chris's topic in Metal Detecting for Gold
You found GOLD and narrowed it down to 3507 square land miles! - Geowizard -
Rick N has found gold. - Geowizard

Blasting large blocks of ore is NOT the same as blasting small blocks. - Geowizard

Vcella is a well known manufacturer of assay ovens. Do the math; The largest Kiln/oven made by Vcella is the Model 200. It is a 25.68 Kilowatt oven. Conversion of BTU's to Kilowatt-hours; 1 Million BTU = 293 Kilowatt-hours. That's equivalent to running MORE THAN TEN of the largest ovens available for one hour. Engineering requires an understanding of mathematics. Smelting is obviously an option for the small miner. - Geowizard

California Summer Gold - Digging In The Right Places

Chris, I have always had the opinion that there's lots of gold still out there! Why won't you tell us where you found the "Summer Gold"? - Geowizard -
Regulations; Every jurisdiction is loaded with regulations on almost everything we do. - Geowizard

68 pounds avdp of molten red brass = 68 pounds avdp (991.67 troy ounces) of molten gold. I would suggest not to worry about TRIVIAL costs in smelting precious metals. - Geowizard

Make or buy decision; Anyone that is interested in smelting has the option of making or buying a furnace that is capable of smelting. - Geowizard

Chris, FYI, 68 pounds of Red Brass weighs the same as 68 pounds of gold. If it will hold 68 pounds of Red Brass - then it will hold 68 pounds of gold. That's approximately 991.7 troy ounces of gold. Note: it's also approximately 991.7 troy ounces of Red Brass. - Geowizard

Precious metals can be smelted on a small scale in 68 pound lots in an off-the-shelf furnace. Been going on for a long time. - Geowizard

Sure nice to have TWO chemistry geniuses on the forum! - Geowizard
